The last thing you bought?

[Forest Cat]

Had to do some grocery shopping and the last thing I bought was this, a tube of caviar. Not the fancy, expensive type, just regular caviar.

I've never seen caviar in a squeeze tube! You sure that isn't fish roe flavored toothpaste?

Oh that's right, you guys over there don't have caviar in tubes, do you. We have a lot of different food in tubes here, it's handy. For example: Mayonnaise, bacon-cheese, remoulade, macerel in tomato sauce and even soft goat cheese. That's the one to the right in this picture:

And one of my favorites, shrimp-cheese Spreads smooth on toast. All of the different cheese tubes are soft cheese that you can spread with a knife.

There are several others too, chili-paprika cheese for example. And curry-pineapple cheese. And jalapeno-cheese. And ham-cheese. And pepper-cheese.

I never liked caviar and didn't understand why it's so expensive and so popular, but then again I love my Vegemite.

It's very salty. Caviar has a strong salty taste. I think I like it because I grew up on it. If I had tried it for the first time now, I don't think I would have liked it. Because it's so strong.

The caviar I posted a pic of is not the expensive type, it's around 2,50 US dollars for a tube. Just regular cod caviar, not beluga sturgeon.

I didn't mind the flavour, I think it was the texture that put me off. Mixed with cheese as a spread for bread and toast sounds pretty good. Shrimp and cheese sounds good too, except in Australia we'd use prawns instead - they're not the same animal. As a kid I used to love sardines and cheese in a grilled toasty.

Shrimp and cheese sounds good too

Shrimp-cheese on bread with cucumber slices, yum
I recommend it.

And it has to be done when it's new and unused.

That might/should work following a factory reset of your player, too.

I'm speechless. We have some stuff in tubes here but nothing like your variety.

When I think about it, caviar and Vegemite have kind of a similar salty, strong flavor but different textures.

Here's 10 different tubes of caviar. A lot of tube-food here.

Caviar in the USA is very expensive. A delicacy. But I do like going to the Russian market and buying roe. It is much cheaper than caviar, and delicious on crackers. The roe still is pretty expensive, and I only eat it maybe once a year.

I also like goat cheese (chevrie).

But neither of those foods come in tubes like you have. The roe comes in a jar. And the chevrie comes sealed in clear plastic, like a little spreadable cheese log. It is also sort of expensive. But not nearly as much as the roe. I eat it a few times a year.

(btw this is not the last thing I bought. i'm just joining the conversation.)

The beluga caviar is very expensive but the cod caviar I mentioned is not expensive here. It's found on most breakfast tables. It's cod roe but we call it caviar, roe is caviar. The main reason we use aluminium tubes is that the product gets a longer shelf life, lasts much longer. And it's convenient, just squeeze out what you want and put the cap on.

Americans are also obsessed with cheese. We put loads of it on nearly everything. Especially Italian and Mexican American dishes.

I think, based on the cheese combinations, you would really like a Texas Sundae. It's incredible.

Mesquite smoked brisquet smothered in tangy/spicy barbecue sauce, shredded on top of the cheesiest macaroni and cheese you have ever had.

Then you top that with pickles and croutons, and voila! A Texas Sundae.

It's called a Texas Sundae as a joke, because it resembles an ice cream sundae, but savoury, made with traditional southern foods.

Btw, have you ever eaten a quesadilla?

I know, I was joking about that a while ago, I said that when you buy an American car it comes with two slices of cheese. Cheese on everything.

No I haven't eaten that.

 

[Outdated]

No I haven't eaten that. I wonder if it's good with cod roe.

I'd never even heard of it and had to look it up. It's just a toasted sandwich but with flatbread instead of European bread.

LOL. Uh-huh. I've improved my "improvised" frozen pizza taste recently with multiple types of cheese rather than just the usual mozzarella.

With "Mexican" food I tend to stick using Colby-Jack and Cheddar. Just bought more too!

And quite by accident, I recently discovered sprinkling Parmesan Cheese on fried onion rings!

In the US they only use 1 cheese on pizzas? It's not pizza without smelly cheese - parmesan.

LOL. Nope, not quite what I meant.

Personally I bury all my slices of pizza in Parmesan Cheese and Red Pepper. Always have, always will. Though most of the time cheap frozen pizzas do seem to only use Mozzarella.
