Biggest Fish Eggs I Have Ever Seen

Today, hungry, as always, I walked into our Russian seminar, looking forward to a delicious treat.  Imagine my surprise, my delight, when I was greeted with a heaping plate of buterbrodi s ikroy.  Now, if your like me, that will make little to no sense to you, so please, allow me to elaborate.  It was essentially bread, butter, and caviar.  Needless to say, it was delicious.  Its flavor, slightly reminiscent of LOX, its texture not unlike the jelly pearls atop frozen yogurt, its appearance, a pile of pink and white, made for an overall exciting and unique delicacy.  I can't wait until the next time I'll be able to try it again.  Do Svidanya!
