Not that I would have any objection to that, mind you, it would be extremely good for business. There are a thousand and one ways to serve it as a dish. If it can be presented with a small iced glass of vodka or a goblet of champagne then so much the better. But undeniably the freshest caviar is the most creamy and melting. But caviar can also be served with different courses, or on a bed of thinly sliced smoked sturgeon or even with boiled potatoes.
Some gourmets recommend it be served with lukewarm oysters accompanied with a slice of lemon peel.
It is also possible to serve caviar with onions, lemon or with small cubes of cheese. Others plump for servings accompanied with minced beef or banana slices over it. If you are lucky enough to be invited to dine with the Jones you might well have some difficulty in keeping up with them. Jones now bears the look of a contented man on his face. Caviar production is back up to five tonnes in France precisely where it was in its heyday.
