Caviar Dreams: The Tastes of Celebration

Yachts, private jets, caviar, champagne—all standard ingredients in
the lifestyles of the rich and famous. But, every so often, at
parties and special occasions, we mere mortals get to live large
and enjoy fancy fish eggs and fizz, too. In this first episode of
our two-part miniseries on the foods of celebration, Gastropod
explores how something that Russian peasants ate as a form of
religious penance became one of the world's most expensive foods.
Join us this holiday season as we get up close and personal with
the source of caviar by giving a sturgeon an ultrasound, and tell
the story of the long-lost town of Caviar, New Jersey. Get out your
mother-of-pearl spoon and dive in! Learn more about your ad
