I like caviar and typically have some tinned on-hand in the pantry as I make a recipe or two that calls for it. For those saying you have tried it and didn't like it -- there are different types as well as different grades of caviar. If you didn't try a good quality caviar, you may want to give it another try. True but I had the good stuff and still hated it. It'd be a huge waste for me to try to acquire a taste for it I agree! The "good stuff" is just as revolting. And I never understood the whole "aquired taste" thing. If I don't like it, I'm not eating it again. There are so much great tasting food in this world, no reason for me to taste the things I don't like more than once.

Yes, but I prefer oysters. In high school I worked a Bloomingdales and would frequently go down to Petrossian for samples. It tastes like the sea. I should add, take my endorsement with a grain of salt, because I have never met anything from the sea that I didn't enjoy eating. Oysters are the only things from the sea that I've met and didn't like . I do like caviar and other fish roe, and agree they taste like the sea to me.

It's very salty and I put just a little bit on toast with a good slather of cream cheese. It's been very many years since I've eaten it.

Love it. Tiny toast triangle with cream cheese, finely diced onions and caviar.

I've had it and really disliked it. I can't stand the texture, that popping feeling in your mouth. <shudder>

Once and couldn't get it out of my mouth fast enough. This reminds me of Tom Hanks in Big

Once and I thought I was going to throw up. My nephew and I tried it at the same time and we about knocked each other over to get to a sink to spit it out. I have a pretty liberal I'd eat that policy, but it's not for me. And I'm okay with that. lol

Yes, I love it. I would love a tin of Petrossian beluga and a flute of Dom Perignon champagne.

Even though I love all kinds of seafood except for oysters, I thought I would hate caviar (because of the texture), so I resisted it for a long time. But in the past 5 years I've had it several times (good quality from high-end restaurants) and it turns out I love it! Who knew? I still don't like oysters though, LOL.

I tried and was not surprised that I found it But I'm not much of a fish eater, don't like sushi either and it was waaaay too salty for my taste. Not a taste I would ever acquire.

Yes I love good caviar. Not to be snobby but I think it is one of those things that you have to splurge and have the good stuff or don't do it at all. There is a huge difference in taste between the good stuff and the inexpensive stuff. Caviar service at a great restaurant which includes diced onion, eggs, chives, creme fraiche with belinis or toast points is delicious. Add a nice glass of champagne and I'm in heaven. Yum.

I adore it! On a cracker with hard boiled eggs, capers or onions - yummy! Does anyone remember Chart House restaurants? They served caviar at their salad bar and that is where I learned to love it.

I have had it twice. Once was at the Captain's Reception on a cruise ship, which I assume was the cheap stuff. The second time was at a nice anniversary party at a country club and it was definitely a better quality. While I had no need to spit it out, I didn't love it. It was just ok. I would try it again but it isn't something I would search out. To be fair though, I tend to have texture issues with food and I think that was what left me less than impressed.

No, I can't say that I have. It doesn't seem to be a texture that I would appreciate, but I would eat it if it were served to me.

On paper it should be something that I'd love, because I love salty foods such as capers, anchovies, olives etc. But I'm not really that fond of it. I think it's probably the texture. I would eat it if served but would not go out of my way to buy it.
I do, however, LOVE taramasalata (Greek fish roe dip). Especially made with red roe.

I've never had caviar, honestly never was really interested in trying it, but reading some of your replies with ways to eat it ... well, now I'm intrigued

Not straight up like on a cracker, but there's one sushi place that uses something called tobiko, which is flying fish roe, on its california rolls. It doesn't really taste like anything, mostly salty, and the texture is different.

I had it in Paris at the Ritz hotel with a glass of champagne. I think I liked the total experience more than I actually liked the caviar. But I'd totally have it again. With champagne. At the Ritz. In Paris.

Only had it once at a fairly high end seafood buffet, but it was likely low end caviar. Didn't care for it, and I love seafood of all and any kind (except oysters). Would try it again. Would probably taste MUCH better at the Paris Ritz!

I've never tried it. I probably would if it was ever offered to me though.

Yes. I like it with a bit of sour cream on a tiny toast.

I love it. Someone got me a caviar server as a housewarming gift years ago, too. My issue: everyone else in my house hates it. So I don't buy it often.
