(a) I like chateaubriand, and (b) I don't have a dog. Caviar, however, is disgusting to me, but the cat was happy to have it.

I'd try it. There was certainly a time when I'da said "haaail no!" but I've been getting better at eating. I love sushi and that sometimes has roe so I think I could do this.

of course fresh, or well-selected is relative..... fresh in Tokyo or NY or SF is not the same as fresh in St Louis or Minneapolis. :&gt )))

And even on the coast, best if it is a really good sushi bar for the best uni.

But even 'not the best' is good, IF you like it.
And.if the restaurant KNOWS how to get good uni...

Too chicken to try the puffer fish variety.

Cheap caviar is awful... not even close. Good caviar (which is expensive) tastes totally different. Of course, some people are still not going to like it. Fine. More for me.

put me in the more or less disgusting camp. I can eat it, but it just seems like bait to me. and it is especially gross on soft bread (or in blinis)

Don't get me wrong--it will put me on the floor faster than you can count to 10. But it feels good.

But then I also love spotted sea trout(not a trout) egg sacks rolled in cornmeal and fried in bacon fat. Upon reflection, I may like that better than caviar.

Some people prize it as a treat for the most special of occasions. To me, it's a substitute for nail polish remover.

So I'm a peasant. I can't help it.

Depending on what's being served, I think I would prefer a little slice of smoked salmon.
