It gives a very satisfying pop, is less expensive and isn't (yet) from an endangered species. I have it only on my birthday (Jan 1st) so I don't feel that I'm contributing to the demise of the salmon. If I'd only known how rare and expensive good caviar would become, I would have appreciated it a lot more when, as a kid, my family visited Iran. But I was only 12 or so (maybe a bit older) so what did I know? I just thought it was some black, fishy stuff and my Lebanese family that ran a store in Tehran were scandalized. <BR/>Ah youth!Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-77058984656785176372008-02-14T18:14:00.000-08:002008-02-14T18:14:00.000-08:00I do think you should let the store know.
