Caviar Day 2021

Back in the day I was quite the caviar connoisseur.

I would have it weekly with small expensive crackers, wedges of lemon, and perhaps a few capers on iced platters in large clear glass bowls.

I would usually accompany it all by drinking a nice cold seltzer with a twist.

My caviar of choice was a variety known as River Beluga Malossol Caviar which is a reference to the fish from which the roe is obtained and the painstaking salting method used to both preserve and enhance the product.

Oh how those afternoons of conversation and discussions of various technical topics flowed.

Those days are long gone and I cannot even remember the last time I partook of the expensive little salty fish eggs.

Today is Caviar Day, a day to celebrate the consuming of the roe of various fish but usually the beluga sturgeon typically obtained from the Caspian and Black Sea.

So if you're up to a taste treat or simply wish to engage a few uppity friends as I did on occasion, this day is for you.

I seriously doubt that I will get back into the habit of indulging myself with this as my college teaching days are well over and the preparations and utensils are all quite high maintenance and expensive.

However, whatever your personal choice Happy Caviar Day.
