Historical Context of Caviar
Interestingly, caviar was once the humble fare of everyday people. In Russia, caviar was a common food, and during the late 1800s, it was so abundant in America that it was served as a complimentary appetizer in bars—far removed from today's luxury standing. In regions like the Caspian and Black Seas, caviar emerged as a staple of regional diets, specifically from the sturgeon fish, which can host millions of eggs.
