Answer 1

Hand-carved Mother of Pearl spoons, knives, forks and plates.
I offer the whole tin on a bed of crushed ice.
spooned onto a chilled plate with care taken not to break the grains, which would make it oily. It should be eaten with a fork.
I serve caviar with pieces of bread that have been lightly toasted (to preserve softness) and then quickly filmed with butter.
A small glass of iced vodka is the ideal companion.
It is a matter of personal taste whether you drink champagne with caviar but many think that it is too "sweet" in itself, with too much of its own flavor and that it will distract your palate from the taste of caviar.
Many people swallow caviar whole, but to fully appreciate the flavor you should "burst" the eggs with the tip of your tongue against your palate to release the flavor in your mouth.

With a abalone or ivory spoons.
