We'll just have to do a Caviar and Vodka Do. ^

If you are still in Southern California, send me a PM. It might be a very small "Caviar and Vodka Do" but I think that this could be very "Do-able."

Tried it twice on a plane so it came with other stuff like crackers/eggs and some other items.
It came in a fancy bottle from Gourmet House.
It wasnt anything spectacular and the taste was very plain.
Basically, just saltish fish roe.
I think the macadamia nuts were tastier.

It's a Winter dish in my opinion. Best time to enjoy caviar is when snow is on the ground, the evenings are dark and frosty and everyone at the dinner table has red cheeks from the brisk weather outside.

I think the flavor is really subtle, at least in the high quality stuff. If it tastes fishy or overly salty then it's not high quality. I would never eat caviar served on a plane just like I wouldn't eat Mexican food in Italy, philly cheesesteaks in Hawaii, etc.
My first taste of Caviar was at Red Square in Vegas. DH and I dressed to the nines and did it up right with vodka, caviar, filet and wine. We chose the second-most expensive caviar figuring that it would be a once in a lifetime experience. It was worth every penny. Given the formality of our occasion, I restrained myself from licking the tin like a cat, but .... I was sorely tempted!
A few years later I had lower-quality caviar elsewhere and was unimpressed.
