Description
It is best to take your tin of caviar out 5 minutes before serving. Place it on a bed of ice to preserve its freshness throughout the tasting. Use a small mother-of-pearl spoon, which will not damage the grains or risk oxidation.
The purity and strength of a fine vodka will provide an interesting counterpoint to the buttery, indulgent notes of the caviar while enhancing its not-so-innocent freshness.
A perfectly soft-boiled free-range egg: gently remove the top, cover the egg with a generous spoonful of caviar, then replace the top. Add a few soldiers of delicate blinis, and indulgence becomes simplicity itself.
