    I've never eaten oysters.  Had caviar once, in Norway in my teens (before sturgeon were put on the endangered list).  It made me sick...  image

     Was it caviar or was it kaviar? Kaviar here in Scandinavia is smoked, salted and sugared caviar, I find it disgusting to. Caviar we call rom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalles_Kaviar

    Caviar in English F Lily.  Caviar with a K would mean it had been got at somehow.

    Aunty Rachel are you being naughty?

     I was asking Liliodendron what it was that he/she ate in Norway, not how caviar is spelled in english. image

    You see, there are several things that is common that they get translated wrongly because an english word sounds just like an scandinavian word. For example a pickle we call ansjovis, it is not anchovy, it's pickled sprat. We call anchovy sardell.  http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/janssons-temptation-swedish-potato-and-anchovy-casserole-196655

    The kaviar I know is a sort of pate made from smoked cod's roe.

    Sorry Fire Lily, it's too long ago to remember how it was spelled - more than 50 years... image

    It's hard to tell how old we actually are on here, by the way we write.  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

     Look at the link to wikipedia, there you can see how Kaviar looks. It's quite different to what caviar looks like.

    I wasn't being naughty (on this occasion!) honest' 

    Re pancakes...Delia? Mary Berry? or other??

    Pancakes ... thin ... crepes by another name ... no recipe needed ... don't think I've ever used a recipe for Shrove Tuesday  Pancakes. image

    Caviar ... I have had the good stuff in the past courtesy of Russian rellies - loved it. Not so keen on the cheaper lumpfish roe that masquerades as caviar... I'd rather have the beautiful golden salmon 'caviar' on my blinis image

    Me too as long as there's smoked salmon too.

    No pancakes here and we won't be doing Valentine's either but no doubt I'll rustle up some nice spicy Szechuan or Peking Chinese on Friday.

    ditto. Valentine's day has become just another bandwagon to suck money from people
