What about the caviar?
With all the changes and cutbacks in airline travel these days, I thought I'd start a thread about where you can still get good old caviar service in First Class. I was quite surprised to see caviar service on a recent AA flight from SFO-BOS, and I supect the AA's premium transcon has the only domestic caviar service. 
It seems that UA has dropped theirs on most int'l routes, but where else is the good stuff to be found?

In my experience of late CX and SQ still have it in addition to the others mentioned earlier.
UA has eliminated canapes in F! I doubt if they will ever serve caviar again!

AA has it trans-oceanic as well, with smoked salmon on the same cart. And lobster tails on a different one - I think they come with the salad course.
Upgrades are nice.

There was a story recently (I think there is a link on the AA board) about American being duped into buying domestic caviar that had been labeled as Russian.

Take a look at Tango's thread stating one should not eat caviar due to severe overfishing.

AF had it eastbound EWR-CDG - individual jar of Caviar House brand Osetra. This was not offered coming back to the US (four mini-appetizers instead).
