Caviar and egg sandwich Well, here's a holiday I won't be celebrating.

Today is National Caviar Day. I know that caviar doesn't have to be just for rich people anymore, but I can't help but think that they're the only people who will celebrate this day -- riding around in limos, wearing their tuxedos and tiaras, eating Beluga caviar and lighting their cigars with burning ten dollar bills (sorry, I get all my knowledge of wealthy people from old TV shows and Richie Rich comic books).

Or maybe this is the day when the rest of us can try caviar for the first time. And by "us," I mean "you," because there is no way I'm trying fish eggs. Maybe you can try that recipe in the pic above. It's a Swedish favorite, a sandwich made with hard boiled eggs and cod roe caviar in a tube.

Why wouldn't you *try* fish eggs?

It's not like tripe, calf head, or any variety of "virility" soup. This culture of thinking is what sometimes worries me most about the future of American cuisine.

Chad, I agree.

Bob, how can you like food and be a food blogger if you refuse to even TRY what's out there??
I forgave you for liking those prepackaged apple pies, but I can't forgive you for being a wuss! (I'm mostly kidding here, but still. haha)

You eat chicken eggs right? If you really think about it, I would say fish eggs are a lot less "disgusting" than a chicken embryo.

For being food writers, you guys sure are scared of a lot of things.

I think Caviar is a deliciou sdelicacy and people should expose themselves to a variety of seafood in line with wha Adriane said.

I agree with the comments above. I've almost stopped reading this blog because the writers are so close minded towards food. I've read one too many articles about "exotic" food (which is extremely common in other cultures) but the blogger refuses to ever try it (e.g. durian). Why bother writing about it? Do you get paid per article?

I would say the above statement is a bit of a generalization-- if read consistantly, you will find there are plenty of bloggers on this site who are passionate about food.

And no offense but Durian most likely IS exotic to most bloggers here, unless they're posting from Southeast Asia.
