Caviar

What is Caviar? Precisely: Sturgeon Roe. Imprecisely: Fish eggs. Connoisseurs of caviar say that the finest comes from the sturgeon of the Caspian Sea. A sturgeon is a fairly ugly fish that come in nearly 23 different varieties. Not all Sturgeon produce roe that is harvested for the caviar. Surgeon roe comes in a variety of colors and each color has a different flavor and prized for its particular shade. Caviar is priced according to ounce ranging according to quality, location and type. Some types of caviar such as Iranian beluga is $250.00 an ounce and $4,000 for a pound. Caviar is extremely nutritious for its price, containing over 47 vitamins and 74 calories per ounce. Do to the extremely expensive nature of caviar (like truffles and saffron) it is the food for the rich and famous. I suppose if you are rich and famous you don't have to worry about the impact of such food on the Sturgeon population or the environment. The supply of Sturgeon has dropped dramatically, therefore with more pollution and poaching driven by lucrative caviar collection profits, this will only increase. All of this information is fine and dandy yet, I'm curious do people taste caviar? It tastes salty and fishy and not the least bit palatable. Being a delicacy, they say its been treasured for many years. My opinion: That those of our population who dine on caviar are more like animals than most of us. I believe they are primitive throwbacks that might just be the missing link. Evolutionists from around the country look no further, proof for evolution isn't in the background of humans, but in their gourmet diets of today: Escargot, Caviar, or Civet coffee(Kopi Luwak). They have the pleasure seeking nature of chimps and they eat an appetizer that costs more than most people around the world make every week. I wonder if every person around the world donated the money they were going to spend on caviar to a world hunger fund, if we could make the world a better place. Think on it.
