All my relatives (especially all the bears) in Russia insist on serving me LOTS of that yucky red caviar (frequently with blini). Since I'm the guest I have to eat it. But I'll give you a hint on how to survive it, Lindsy. For years I've gagged on the stuff and on several occasions almost hurled onto the table. Now I make sure those slimy little eggs are engulfed in sour cream or butter and I swallow the mess whole then chase it with a beverage. The most important thing is NEVER NEVER bite. If you pop those salty oily eggs in your mouth you will definately hurl!!
