Tax day? No, I'll get banned before a major natural disaster.

But actually, Davii and I are kind of immune. . .. like a cop never gets a speeding ticket.

Pags before Bastille day??

I see the Food section is still (waiting on creative name).

In honor of our currently absent friend, how about...

Zambini Junction?

or maybe NOSH PIT.

What?? You're insurance? Well, because of this travesty to Zam, you'll both get a one week ignore during respective dates/disasters.. No exceptions.

Pags too.

caviar, serve with bilini, a small thin buckwheat pankace and sour cream.
a fancy preciuos metal spoon on non-metalic spoon is part of the 'presentation"
ceramic, glass or gold or silver.
Normally served in original 'tin' ironic, given the pompous nature of caviar enthusiasts who turn their nose up at the offering of a stainless steel spoon !
many caviar devotes will bring their own utensils !
anyway, the caviar is usually served on a bed of crushed ice, and accompaniements are small 'bread offerings"
rye bread, black bread, etc.
are we talking imported or domestic caviar, BTW?

There isn't much imported anymore. Everything is farmed these days.

I'm growing the domestic from the white sturgeon. I'd love to compare to beluga or sevruga, but it's just not available.

And welcome back.

I want to fish for white sturgeon in Alaska before I die.

Next time you're heading over to Travis AFB call me. The Delta is right there and a few of my favorite places for sturgeon and stripers are within a few miles.

thats a hell of an offer. white sturgeon, is that a 200-300 pound anumal like its baltic/ black sea counterpart?
beluga, sevruga and OSSETRA, which i consider the best tasting!
flying fish roe is also a popular available caviar, and trout caviar is also growing in popularity.
I think imported caviar has been banned, or at least a moratorium, not unlike cuban cigars.
when I hear "caviar" i think of tom hanks in "BIG".
sorry.

I will for sure take you up on that if I'm ever up that way.

Sturgeon get bigger than tarpon.

The ones at the farm get harvested at between 100-150 lb. They just caught two this year on the Fraser River in the 1000 lb range. The white is the second largest freshwater fish in the world. The Beluga is the largest.
