on a whim i grabbed a bottle of Romanoff cavier.do i eat this on crackers?with wine?red or white?do i have to hold my nose as i chew? 
i’ve never had it before so i thought i would ask before opening it because it was about 8 dollars for a tiny bottle
Re: how do i eat this cavier?
I believe you snort it up your nose with a straw. It will taste just as good that way.
Bon Appetit!

Re: how do i eat this cavier?
I’ve only had it once, but I think you’re meant to eat it on a small slice of thin toast. I’m sure crackers would do though, I think the general idea is to eat it with something fairly plain so you can appreciate the taste, thousands of little unfertilised fish ova - mmm yum;)
Have fun!

I had some a while ago when a Russian housemate brought over some proper Russian stuff in a tin. It was possibly the most vile sustance I’ve ever eaten; it was so salty one tin could wipe out the entire slug population of the earth…
However (a) we had it on toast and (b) I’m presuming if you don’t get the cheapest of the cheap it’s not quite as nasty…

>thousands of little unfertilised fish ova - mmm yum
as opposed to the one chicken one u have fried for breakfast?
i’m waiting for jagur’s report back
btw, how did u come to wear a beret (in public) and u’ve never had caviar?
Re: how do i eat this cavier?
Spread it on a brick (the red ones are best), then scrape it off, throw it away, and eat the brick.
Or better yet, mix it with Vegemite, heat it up in the microwave, and dollop it on mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Flambéed in root beer?

i havent opened it yet.im waiting for the big Christmas eve family thing,i want to get more reactions than just mine.at $8 bucks a bottle i figure getting as many sour faces as possible makes it worth it.
i love sardinenes and get anchovies on pizza whenever i can so the cavier will probobly taste good (to me)
GILD,the beret comes from many years of high speed 2-wheeling,they are warm,light and dont blow off your head.

i dont buy that for a moment, jagur
a beret is waaay too much of a ‘i should be sitting in a coffee-shoppe, drinking espresso and reading sartre’ kind of fashion statement to be so dismissively explained as a functional item
try again
why do I wear this beret?
Gild,
You just don’t understand…
In the land where Jagur resides, a red beret is a symbol of former membership in the Boy Scouts of America devolved into misguided urban vigilante fascism (aka “The Guardian Angels”).
A raspberry beret is an overt symbol of slavish groupie fashion-ism towards sexually-ambivalent musicians who long to be art students (or perhaps the ambivalent fashion of group-sex-slave art students who overtly long to be musicians’ cymbals).
A black beret is a sign of the underground urban sartorial commando, who bears neither allegiance or nor enmity, yet lives by an ever-changing ideal of non-conformism (and likes to keep his brain-pan warm).
Maybe they are worn by art-wankers and weekend painters in the Old World, but over here, berets are sold in Army Surplus Shops (one “P”, no “E”).
Hope that clears everything up, beret-wise.

Re: why do I wear this beret?
Mr G Max,
“Vigilante fascism”, I would argue, is never deserving of so benign an adjective as “misguided.” You may be more generous toward your fellow humans in this respect than I, but I tend to doubt it.

OK, OK…
Raphael,
How about “brutishly moronic”?
'zat better?
Oh, and…
Ditto Raphael’s “ps”.
would u guys mind if i just sat here and laughed for a while?
i wore a maroon beret while serving as an operational medical ordonance during my conscripted time in the south african army
i guess i have some issues
along with the previous two posters, i am not passing comment on jagur’s beret-wearing habit (not! he’s a michael jackson fan and deserves all the ribbing his beret gets him!)
i was simply dealing in stereotypes by assuming that anyone who wears a beret must surely have experienced some of the finer things in life (caviar, marmite and root beer among them)
as usual with this forum, i’m enjoying watching this discussion go nowhere, fast
it’s good for a couple of giggles tho
Well, since you asked, Dave…
Yes, I would mind very much!
Just who do you think you are to laugh at our posts? (You maroon beret-wearin’ git!)
If we wanted our posts to be laughed at, we’d post them in the thread titled “some kind of jokes”, or we’d tipe htem like htis, so u wood eiver not unnrstan htem at all, or be throne into fits of convallsiv lafter at hte shear ineppitizim of our tippin g and spillin g.
So, back of, dood e.
now do u really think u had as much fun typing that as i had reading it?

Might I why the disscussion of eating caviar in a unicycling forum?
Because…
The “Just Conversation” forum was set up specifically so that we could discuss non unicycling matters while still using Unicyclist.com. If you subscribe to this newsgroup through email or a news reader, you don’t have access to “Just Conversation.”
