Caviar isn’t even that expensive. Unless you’re looking for a very specific brand and type.
I mean, it’s still expensive compared to most foods by weight, but buying a tin isn’t absurd if you’re doing it once in a while for a special occasion.
Tsar Nicoulai caviar (served at Quince, a 3 Michelin star restaurant in San Francisco) sells 1oz of their classic caviar for $60 for comparison. A single serving is usually 0.5oz, so that would serve 2. Of course they have more expensive options, but since the menu doesn’t specify it probably isn’t something super special. There are cheaper brands as well of course, I specifically chose this brand to look up aince I know it is served at a 3 star restaurant, and they would of course be using a high quality product.
Oh definitely. I just wanted to point out that even the “expensive” brands used by places like Michelin rated restaurants aren’t even that expensive. A lot of people only ever see these very artificially inflated values at events, or super exclusive types of caviar, and think that’s just how expensive all of it is.
🙄 sigh

You can get red caviar (salmon instead of sturgeon) for like $20 a can.
