premium Cletus 5055:175	I don’t know if this is a myth or a fact, but it is something I’ve always adhered to; when scooping out the caviar, don’t use metal utensils. They supposedly can ruin the flavor. Go with plastic utensils here. Also, with all tht yummy food, I’d be drinking something dark and roasty. Especially mussels. Sounds yummy.	6/20/2009 12:18:03 PM Post a reply Private message

premium beastiefan2k 1600:108	usually caviar is too salty to be paired with most beer (imo). I am not sure about which brand and how salty your brand of caviar is. However, usually the more widely available caviar in American stores is less salty. But either way, this is one of very few things I recommend a pale lager for. If your local store has any relatively fresh Baltika (or other Russian lager), I would go for that. Worst case scenario get a Heiny in a can. If not that then maybe a distilled beverage such as vodka or cognac. In a blini is my favorite way to eat caviar or if you want the salt to really come out spread some over a slice of tomato.	6/20/2009 12:29:15 PM Post a reply Private message

I do have a white Spanish wine (Palma Real) I was planning for the paella, along with the Foret. Its made from rueda verdejo grapes and is supposed to be a great seafood partner.	6/20/2009 1:01:02 PM Post a reply Private message

Durian fruit and Klingon Gagh? Actually, they are not raw, but salt cured. OK, raw fish eggs, salt and terrible beer = durian fruit, qagh and salt?	6/20/2009 4:03:11 PM Post a reply Private message

So your tatses are not the same as some of us who relish salty fish eggs! You probably don’t like anchovies on your pizza or love really stinky cheese!	6/20/2009 7:01:15 PM Post a reply Private message

Metal will oxidize the cavier and give some funky flavors. I wouldn’t think that something as delicate as cavier should pair well with an Imperial Stout, although I have never tried it. I should suggest some geuze, gose, and kellerbier.	6/20/2009 9:45:05 PM Post a reply Private message
