I'm able to do something now that some years ago was impossible

I can lift $100 worth of groceries with one arm.

Funny, I have that same ability at age 66. ;)

A dozen eggs and couple of apples will do it.

Caviar is definitely not something on my shopping list.

I only tried it once. Cray computers (early 1980s) was
trying to get us to buy the most powerful computer
on the planet, so they put on a ritzy spread of
once-in-a-lifetime foods (for poor folks like us.)

It tasted to me pretty much like the much cheaper
lumpfish roe you can buy anywhere.

Maybe my taste was thrown off by the smoke from my
hand-rolled Cuban cigar.

I tried sevruga caviar at home. I prefer the smelt roe
you get on some kinds of sushi.

Some people must like it ... and have the money to pay for it. I
remember seeing it at the fish counter of a department store in
Copenhagen back in 1999, so we are talking prices from 27 years ago.
The cans were about 6" ibn diameter and about 2" deep. They were selling
for $1200 can. They ha a few of them in the display bunker so they were obviously planning on them moving.

There are lower cost alternatives:

You never know about kids. We went to a niece's wedding when my son was
about 12. The canapes included crackers with a bit of cream cheese and caviar. My son tried some. He wasn't crazy about the cream cheese so he
was picking out the caviar and eating it and threw out the crackers and
cream cheese.

That's some serious inflation.

I will wait until the fish hatch and grow up. I am loving this baby
spinach though. I wish they'd hurry up and develop super low oxylate
spinach so I could eat huge amounts of it all the time.
