What is in the yellow bag you get with caviar?
Seen a few photos in trip reports here where people have a plate with some caviar, onion?, something else and a yellow tied bag. What exactly is in this bag?

Of course, many caviar experts (Petrossian, for one) strongly recommend against using lemon on fine caviar (alters the taste).

The yellow tied bags contain lemon as the others mentioned. Other things which are usually on the plate are onions and egg yolk(from a hard boiled egg)

Half a lemon. You usually also get sour cream, onions, chives, chopped egg yolk and white and sometimes capers and some other things. I don't use any of that. Just the caviar on toast. Plus vodka.
