Episode 211 - California Caviar   addthis
Caviar is one of the most expensive foods in the world. Most people think about Russian caviar when the delicacy is mentioned, but over fishing in Eastern Europe and along the Caspian Sea;  along with concerns about pollution have curtailed production in that area.

 

 

Caviar Fact:
The United States ranks in the top ten caviar exporters with most of it going to the European Union where France and Germany are the biggest consumers.  By the way many people are taking an interest in a vegetarian version of caviar that’s made from seaweed. It’s being called “Cavi-art.”
