 Great Beluga OmeletteMar 24, 2012
By WT Door
There are actually 2,742 (avg) indivual Beluga eggs/roe in each tin. How do I know? Meticulous counting with a jeweler's loupe and a sorting tool, and great concentration. With ten tins of these very lush babies you get just enough yolk and white to fill an omelette pan. But you have to be careful in cracking the individual roe into the whisking bowl first - copper, of course. The 'shell' is just an ever so fine membrane that would otherwise spoil the consistency of the perfect Beluga roe omelette. About an ounce of grated white 'Alba Madonna' truffle - from San Miniato if you can get it ($2000/lb min) - and Oh My, what an omelette! Next time, I fill it with white truffle and add five more tins of whole Beluga roe as omelette stuffing. $15,500.00 on Amazon Prime and worth every penny of it! Try ordering that at Waffle House.
You are surely wondering, "Why not have the cook stay up all night doing this?" You're kidding right? With all this Occupy stuff going on? I can't have my Beluga caviar and a cook, butler, cleaning staff too. Then I'd have to hire a security assistant just to account for the Beluga tins and the Veuve Clicquot bottles. And a mayordomo to supervise the security assistant. It never ends. Earned it myself. Rather. Spend. It. On. Myself.
One word to the wise: It takes 10 very intense nerve wracking hours to 'crack' 10 tins/27,420 Beluga 'eggs' into the copper whisking bowl (estimate; actual counts may vary by season, size of the sturgeon 'sows', motility of the sturgeon 'boar' ahem 'seamen' etc). Spoilage is something you want to avoid. Now is not the time to hit the Veuve Clicquot. Sturgeon husbandry btw is a fascinating field of study. Boris my chandler tells me that a cross breed hybrid of Tysmentsia River domesticated sow with Kuchurhan River wild boar yields absolutely PRIMO firm yet delicate yolky eggs. Boris calls them "the Eggland's Best of caviar". He says it in his native Crimean Tatar of course with a heavy Carpathian accent. He also warns against sneaking up on a mating pair during coitus since they are not natural love mates. Boris lost two fingers and left mustache handlebar that way. His entire Cossack horde now sports the same look since he's hetman. But I digress.

 Good for ToddlersFeb 01, 2012
By Muscle Man
My butler gave me a tin of this for Christmas. Anyway our 4 year old is a finicky eater, so we gave him some, and he loved it! The nanny gives him crackers with caviar every afternoon before his nap now. Little Wellington III has become a beluga addict, but at least feeding him has become a breeze.

 Not bad, but...Jan 30, 2012
By Matthew L. Robbins
When I'm feeling too lazy to make popcorn I bust this stuff out. It's not bad but I find it annoying that because the tins are only 8 ounces, I have to open up 3 dozen to fill up my favorite popcorn bowl, which sometimes makes me miss the first few minutes of Ice Road Truckers.
Fresh Iranian Beluga caviar in IstanbulFeb 19, 2012
By Alfred L. Moniot
In Spring 2008, I bought 2 400 gm tins (that's 14. 1 oz each) for US$86. each.
It was almost like doing business with a drug lord, but I figured they could kill me, but not eat me, and they did want some money.
Put those in a tiny plastic picnic sac with dry ice and returned (1 to NYC and the second to Mexico).
Best thing I have ever tasted and I'm 67.
Worth the airfare to Istanbul!!! Great city also.
I may still have the merchant's name and addy.

Self-ValidatingOct 23, 2011

Absolutely Grand, Delicious. I feel guilty when I'm opening the can(one of these amounts to over 4,000 Ramen Noodles cups - enough to feed a few villages), but once I taste it, I am instantly transported to Heaven(or at least, top-floor condo with 7 maids). So yeah, get rich and share this beneficence. Adios
