Sly no likey Zillion Dolla Frittata

[Cogito]

Nuthen exceeds like excess,
(http://www.webindia123.com/news/showdetails.asp?id=38545&cat=World)but at least Stallone had the good sense to turn down this crap. WTF, this is like the decline & fall of the Roman Empire: 6 eggs, $600 worth of fish eggs, and a shot of vodka; citizens, countrymen, lend me your ears -- where's the vomminorium?

Some people have too much money.

Wouldn't it be nice just to be able to AFFORD this... not that I would spend it on eggs... but just to say I could if I wanted

I read in my local newspaper that they have a cheaper version thats costs $100.

Why anyone would pay that much money for fish eggs is beyond me. There are better things to spend your money on. Like Lord of the Rings action figures and The X-Files: Season 9 on DVD.

If i had the money, I'd eat that thing. I love a good frittata.

The X-Files: Season 9 on DVD.

Too bad that costs the same as the frittata. Expensive little bastards, those DVD sets are.

There's just something disturbing about eating a $1,000 meal, when people live in powerty and hunger...

[Tick]

Well yes. But this whole caviar thing disturbs me too, those sturgeons can only get pregnant once in so many years and when they do, they instantly get fished up and cut open because some rich guy likes its eggs on his omelet. They'll probably be extinct in some more years. Wild decadence.

[Cogito]

Well, it's such a money maker, I doubt they'll let them fishies go extinct though -- I'd expect that they have a fish farm type thing going by now...

What's messed up about it, is the price, though. The prices are driven up artificially. It's completely out of order.

I like caviar. I eat it all all the time -- but not the insanely priced stuff. I eat Scandinavian caviar -- smoked cod caviar. The eggs are so small, it's just a paste, which gives it a much nicer texture, than the big eggs of stureon. It isn't exactly dirt cheap -- $4-$5 a tube (metalic squeeze tube), which doesn't exactly go a long way, but you serve that up on little pieces of toast, you got a rather impressive hors d'oeuvre; goes down like uh, toast. The Greeks make their own variant, and their stuff is very cheap, but theirs is very fishy, which isn't to my taste.
