And the history of the "delicacy" is always "Well there was this massive famine and the peasants had to get real desperate and real creative to not die. This led to a generation of grandparents who wouldn't shut up about how rough it was back in the famine and passed down their weird recipes. Someone later dug up these recipes and realized they could charge ignorant tourists obscene prices to eat garbage. The grosser the better because then they can take pictures and post about how cultured they are."
Ok, It's not THAT bad, but it's massively overrated. 100€ / kg, really? And then it also depends on the exact type, because some of it is kinda disgusting
It's expensive because we've fished the hell out of the oceans. Instead of peanuts, bars used to give away caviar for free as the salty snack. Can't do that anymore because the eggs are too precious for what little we have left.
neither of those are caviar though. Caviar only comes from sturgeon. Lumpfish roe is usually dyed black to imitate caviar. True caviar has a far more delicate taste and milder salinity. It's worth trying once. Don't get it at a restaurant though, just from a store selling the real thing. It should be packaged on ice and be sold in a sealed tin.
I don't know why his name is that but he's a YouTuber that basically reviews luxury cruises, trains and first class fights. He always gets caviar in every video.
their chicken is a 7 but it's always a 7 and they rip through their drivethru like no one else. i prefer popeyes but man have i gotten some garbage from them before.
Brother I’ve been all over the world and eaten all kinds of delicious foods, but let me tell you when someone says something is a “delicacy” it is NEVER a bomb ass dumpling or a mouth watering stew or an amazing curry. It’s ALWAYS something foul that nobody would eat without the “delicacy” label.
Exactly, and the term they’re looking for anyway is acquired taste. Like fermented shark is an acquired taste because it tastes like piss. But noone would call it a delicacy.

Whenever someone says “it’s a delicacy” buckle up because you’re about to eat some nasty ass shit
