======
Not from our table, it didn't! But we never got our share of the
eggplant
caviar, a mistake that our waitperson (my nephew) has not been
allowed to forget.;)
======
Eggplant caviar? Please post the recipe. Is this actually fish eggs
or is it made from eggplant? although I doubt I'd like the latter but
would like the first, I'd like to see this recipe.
====
Speaking of caviar, does anyone have documentation for the eating of
it raw?
Platina has a recipe for it (shudder!) cooked.
====
By raw, do you mean unprocessed? Or just uncooked? Platina's recipe
is apparently for salted fish eggs. From this file in the COMMERCE
section of the Florilegium:
salt-comm-art (18K) 1/ 9/97 "Salt of the Earth" by Lord Xaviar.
----
Renaissance diners were so fond of gorging on salt fish and salted
fish eggs that physicians condemned this passion (Platina p 265).
This had little effect on the diets of the wealthy.
