Russian people ate red caviar with pancakes. Soviet people used this healthy product with white bread, spread with butter, in the form of sandwiches. There is actually a traditional way of serving caviar.
Tradition and modernity
Red caviar, like black caviar, is served on the table in a small caviar dish, placed in a saucepan filled with ice. Of the instruments, only a small caviar spoon is used. Caviar should be eaten little by little, just a few spoons, without anything, in order to feel its exquisite taste.
As for the loaf and butter, these ingredients negate the health benefits of red caviar. From the point of view of the elements and vitamins that the body receives with red caviar, for better absorption, you need to use it with fresh or boiled vegetables (raw cucumber and boiled potatoes are ideal) or egg white. By the way, caviar is one of the most cholesterol-containing foods, unlike fish, which, on the contrary, is recommended for the prevention of atherosclerosis. So you should not get carried away with caviar, especially with high cholesterol.
