Taste Test

I had my kids try caviar last weekend. As expected, they didn't like it. Too salty and too fishy for them.


But what's that on the other cracker?


You probably know it's Nutella. I love it on toast, but never thought to put it on a cracker before. But when I mentioned caviar and Nutella in my grocery store post, Tania (Bunnie Bar) commented that the combination was classy and fabulous. I thought, "Challenge accepted!" and decided to try them together on a cracker.


I added a spotlight to make sure you could see there really is black caviar on top of that little mound of chocolaty, hazelnut goodness. How was it?


Believe it or not, it was good. The Nutella neutralized the fishiness, making it a salty-chocolate-hazelnut snack. Since the grocery store variety of caviar was $80 a pound, I think I'll simply use table salt if I ever want salty Nutella again. Of course, the caviar would seem less expensive in countries using the metric system. $80 for 450 grams? Sounds like a bargain to me (since, as a patriotic American, I know nothing about the metric system).

Hope you're having a great weekend!
