Caviar is touted as a hangover remedy due to its high content of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter believed to play a key role in memory retention) which lines the stomach and increases the body’s tolerance to alcohol.
Arginine, a vascular dilator in caviar, helps increase blood flow. Surprisingly, airlines purchase about fifty percent of the world’s caviar to serve to their first-class passengers.
Tips to choose and enjoy caviar
Quality caviar must have a bright glossy colour, fresh, mild smell, uniformly sized eggs and lightly salty flavour. The texture must be firm to the bite, not squish soft. In many restaurants, caviar is served with sour cream, chopped red onions, chopped hard-boiled egg whites and yolks, and parsley. All help stretch the quantity, but drown the delicate taste. Most gourmets like to pair it with champagne, but the true connoisseur knows that the best alcoholic beverage to accompany caviar is well-chilled vodka.
Caviar is a food like no other. Sometimes called gray gold, a symbol of luxury and excess, it’s the stuff of fantasy.鱼子酱是一种奢侈的珍馐美味,有时也被称为“黑鱼子酱”,主要是用盐腌过的鲟鱼卵加工制成。鱼卵可以是“新鲜的”(未进行巴氏灭菌消毒的)或者经过巴氏灭菌消毒,然而后者的烹饪价值和经济价值均居次等。
鱼子酱一词源自土耳其语khavyar,并于1591年首次出现于英语出版物中。传统意义上的鱼子酱所使用的鱼子仅仅是指生长在里海和黑海中的野生鲟鱼所产的卵。鱼子酱的产量有限,因而价格昂贵,而其不断增长的市场需求以及精细耗时的生产工艺却总是让它供不应求。因此,鱼子酱曾一度被严格仅限于供应皇室。
