Tasteful

Day 92: As part of my New Year's celebration, I bought a jar of "inexpensive" caviar, a product I've had on several previous occasions and always enjoyed. Oh, it's salty, to be sure, and perhaps the pricier versions are less so, but since I have never tried them, I have nothing to compare. Served atop plain crackers and a smear of cream cheese garnished with green onions, a little roe goes a long way.

This particular brand comes from the inelegantly named lumpfish. The individual grains are pleasingly firm and flavourful. Sturgeon be hanged, I've made my own from shad roe which, admittedly, goes better as a sandwich spread than a savoury treat.
