Tasting A Caviar Platter In St. Petersburg | Bizarre Foods

Andrew Zimmern visits St. Petersburg to try the caviar that Russia is famous for producing.

I love the way Andrew communicates with his host, he’s wholly focused on the dialogue at hand and expresses his palette concisely without embellishment. Thank you Mr. Zimmerman for an excellent food discovery guide.

Dont know about the caviar but that stroganoff looked damn good

[tshirtnjeans]

Am I the only one bothered by the amount of beluga caviar damaged by the lids of the can?

That's like $20 per egg down the drain

Andrew is an amazing person.I love his show.

I have never eaten caviar but this makes me want to go to Russia and have Andrew’s experience

I'm watching this as I eat a plate full of pizza bites.

We saw this segment on Andrew's TV show quite some time ago. This brings back fond memories. My wife and I took a business trip with two dozen others to Leningrad, Russia, while still Soviet Communist prior to it reverting back to St. Petersburg. It was 1990. The beluga was fantastic but the Osetra Karat Amber Russian Caviar was the absolute to-die-for favorite of most of us. From Israel, today, it comes so close to the Russian variety back then, that I find no differentiation.

Andrew Zimmerman could not be more suitable for this role. He is so eloquent and mannered, his descriptive language perfect for the food critic. Hi timely eulogy to the late Anthony Bourdain was one of the most poignant pieces I’ve ever read.

yum...I may never experience these sights and tastes but videos ease the pain 😊⚜️😁

Gotta love how my people have been eating caviar for hundreds of thousands of years up on the Klamath river

[danielkhong]

He never ages with all that good food going into him, yum yum!

I noticed something strange. It's said you NEVER use metal utensils when serving/eating caviar because it badly affects the fish eggs...and yet...there is a big metal spoon in the caviar container, the waiter is making the tasting plate with metal utensils, and Andrew is eating it with a metal spoon and fork.

Russia looks so different now, this must've been filmed in like 2006

[marcusnilsson]

You better say good things about their food or otherwise stay out of sight of any windows!

[marantz]

why is everyone using metal silverware??-- pearl, clean plastic is the chosen method

[urielmartinez]

Ok really? Does everything taste nutty to you?

You know the town isn't secure when he says that is the most secure room in town.

[brandonchapman]

I went to Hakkasan Mayfair restaurant last week in London, and it didn't worth the £280 for two. But oh well.
