Salmon caviar is pretty tasty and honestly quite affordable, especially compared with the more expensive varieties. Eat it with neutral/salty crackers and creme fraiche.
There are other sorts of caviar that are a lot smaller and the smaller size really makes it less enjoyable for me because of the texture. The salmon ones are nice plump pearls.

only things I'd waste money on if I were rich is expensive alcohol, beer, whiskey, wine, just to feel how big of a scam it is.

>>22044456
With enough money you can try everything

>>22044477
I'll add that once you open it, it doesn't last too long and it's best enjoyed in small amounts at a time because of the richness and saltiness, so even if you can easily afford a larger container I wouldn't recommend it. If you want to get more then get them in separate smaller portions so that you open less at a time.

>>22044469
Celebrating doesn't mean he's going to maintain a significantly different life style.

>>22044456
Non-factory farmed meats, dairy, and eggs are absolutely worth the prices.
Most seafood restaurants that name where their meat comes from are legit, IDK about worth the price at all of them though.
Gimmickey stuff like flaming dishes or pouring cheese on things are probably not worth the bougie price that they are.
To answer your question about caviar, I personally really enjoy it. It's salty and fishy, and the texture is very interesting and enjoyable
If you've ever had the little orange or green fish eggs at a sushi place and enjoyed them you will likely enjoy real caviar.

I'm not a fan of caviar, i unironically prefer regular salmon roe. Foie gras is pretty nice. Especially with a teeny bit of jam.

best caviar coming through

>>22044456
It all comes down to product knowledge and seasonality.
-brown shrimp farmed on horseback September-December
-hand-dived scallops from Norway
-Skrei - migratory cod from Norway, February-March
-Anchovies from the Cantabrian coast (Spain) April-June
-Milk lamb from the Pyrenees and Dolomites - March
-Milk veal from the Corrèze in France - April-May
-Heart sweetbreads, of veal, April-May
-Wild pepper from India
-Black Kampot pepper from Cambodia
-White pepper from Penja, Cameroon
-Wild chocolate from Colombia to Mexico
-Oysters from Ireland October-December
-Mangalica pig from Hungary - November
-Grouse from Scotland October-December
-San Marzano and Piennolo tomatoes, mount Vesuvius, Italy July-October
-Artichokes: the Venetian lagoon in Spring, after a period of frost
-Asparagus: late Spring, grown near beaches
-Beef: old animals, raised free range. Guernsey, Jersey, Scottish isles, remote areas of Spain (especially basque country)
-Caviar: Aquitaine in France, Belgium, Po-delta in Italy.
-Champagne: independent producers, start at 100$/€ a bottle for a good one. If you just want to know why Champagne really is good, 50 per bottle.
-Same goes for Bourgogne wines.
-Cauliflower, May, grown in loam soil.
-Foie gras needs to be freshly made. Don't buy it in a jar, it's a waste of money.
-Potatoes need to be grown in clay. For purée you're best in September, for fries that's March-April (old potatoes).
-Milk peaks in May in temperate zones, July-August for mountains. You get better cheese with better milk. Different cow breeds give different milk: Holstein cows give lots of poor quality milk, so poor quality cheese. 99.9% of cheese is from Holstein cows.

Every product has its peak location, peak window and peak circumstances for production and ageing. It's never scaleable, so you're always looking for small producers and independent shops.

This guy gets it. Excellent with smoked salmon on top of the cream and crackers.

Generally, everything the french or ruskis do with caviar is great

High quality meat cuts ate always worth the price (think premium, not imported overpriced plastic wrapped foreign garbage they peddle at some of these elite-branded pseudo butchers). Find local producers, visit farmers' markets, buy cuts you are familiar with and use your own judgement.

Once you get to a certain point it's about snowballing asset management. But if you're not born already rich then yeah, you retard, step one is getting the snowball built and that's by saving.

>>22044456
Yeah caviar’s pretty nice, just get some blinis. Truffles are also a good shout if you like cooking or want a meal out of it. Regardless of what you go for, buy the appropriate wines for it. Get a good port or sherry for your dessert too.
>>22044469
This mindset as well as using “poor” as an insult is extremely third world coded. I literally have no income but even I understand wanting to use your money especially in celebrating a promotion. What good is money?
>>22044477
Not caviar. Salmon roe is nice and is the affordable substitute but I say he goes to a reputable sturgeon roe specialty shop. >>22045005
Oysters from Ireland? Not only do I deny such reputation but I would also reject any suggestion of buying oysters imported. Unless he plans to fly to Ireland he’d fair far far better just buying locally. Even the most expensive oysters (imported not even that far away) I’ve tried were gaunt and bland compared to market price freshly caught ones.

Something like cantabrian anchovies would be a good though. Melt in your mouth.

It is caviar, just not what people tend to think of when they simply think of the food as a vehicle for a display of wealth like you're doing. If OP can afford it then no reason for him to deny himself more expensive varieties.

>>22044456
>What are some bougie, luxurious foods that are actually worth trying?
High quality normal food, that's about it, if you are EXTRA rich you can hire a pro cook to make the food for you

>food as a vehicle for a display of wealth like you’re doing
Project more, retard? I literally said the opposite, I even expose my own lack of income. I didn’t even say salmon roe was bad, but it’s not actual caviar by legal definition. Salmon roe isnt that expensive so I felt OP wanted to splurge and thus wasn’t a relevant answer. He could have already enjoyed salmon roe which is sold in most supermarkets anyhow.

You’ve literally embarrassed yourself with ignorance calling salmon roe a more expensive variety and insulted me for no reason because of some insecurity you have. My bad for being right

Caviar has a more delicate and dynamic flavour but it’s expensive as hell (probably 3x as much as salmon roe). But dummies like you think otherwise so if OP just wanted to “display his wealth” he could just buy a bunch of lumpfish roe and call it caviar

>>22048565

Salmon roe caviar is caviar, just a different variety. There is just no reason to feel differently about that unless you're obsessed with the price point and want to exclude a less expensive variety of caviar from being caviar for some reason. Either way OP never actually gave a ballpark on what "double his pay" would be so it is still relevant to give different pricing options and people sleep on salmon caviar.
>calling salmon roe a more expensive variety
When I said OP shouldn't deny himself "more expensive varieties" I was agreeing with you that he should treat himself to the reputable sturgeon row specialty shops you mentioned, anon. I'm guessing you got very mad that I said you are only concerned with the display of wealth aspect of caviar and misunderstood that part of my post. I said outright earlier that salmon roe caviar was an affordable option, don't know how you would interpret what I said later to think that I now said the exact opposite when everything I said implicitly and explicitly points to the opposite.

Otorro tuna is quite tasty

>if i suddenly had a lot of money i would use it on destroying my organs as fast as possible
???

if you've never had actual good coffee that is worth a try, but it isn't possible to source, roast, grind, or steep a decent cup on more than an intermittent basis. the best baristas doing the best pourover using the best grind from recently roasted single-origin beans still only get there maybe 2%. the taste profile of an actual cup of coffee is hard to describe but you'll know it when you get one.

>>22046831
Which is precisely why you should try it while you're alive.

>>22044475
>Classic poverty mindset
It's kinda the opposite. Poor people usually spend their money quickly while they still have it because they expect to not have any money again soon. Kinda like eating a bunch of food whenever you can because you're used to being hungry

>>22045001
Unfortunately this has seed oils in it. I would eat it more often if not for that.

>>22044456
Expensive ingredients that are truly worth it:
>Good quality caviar (do research on what brands are available where you are, there is surprising variance in quality and taste)
>Relatively expensive fish, like halibut
>Heritage poultry breeds
>Dairy products broadly get much better if you reach for high end brands
>Import
Food experiences that are worth it:
>James Beard Award winning/Michelin rated restaurants in major food cities at a minimum are always interesting and novel, even if I sometimes don't like the food
>Tasting trip to major wine growing regions
>If you're really into food, luxury trips to places that have good food but are generally shit holes (India, Nigeria, etc). But otherwise luxury trips to these places are retarded, you pay a ton of money for a worse experience than you would just hanging out in the South of France for a week.
Not worth it:
>Wine past the $60/70 a bottle range. Any quality improvement is so marginal at that level, you truly are just paying for rarity at that point
>Steakhouses. These are dumb, you can make a similar quality steak at your house for half the price with some practice
>Blatant Instagram stunt food. Gold leaf plated steaks, dishes that justify a huge price point by dumping caviar on it instead of anything creative, etc
IMO cheese is really where you see the biggest jump in quality by going from low-to-mid market stuff to high end products. If you have the money one of your best investments is to get on a first name basis with your local cheesemonger.

Idk what you have or haven't tried but some of my faves are:

Grade A5 wagyu
Handmade pasta
Red caviar
Fatty tuna
Ostrich

I prefer non-expensive foods which are tastier than those though (pork belly for example)

>>22044482
it lasts forever and literally never spoils, it just dries up to become a "bottarga", and edible at any moment of this cycle.

>>22050769
>it lasts forever
Not as the caviar it exists as when you first open it, it doesn't. Something being edible as a different, new product that has its own appeal is not the same as the original product lasting forever. This is like saying that bread lasts forever because you can make it into croutons. Great I'm happy for you but it's not bread for long, now is it?

Really good, small batch cheeses are absolutely worth the price

>>22050765
>Ostrich
How does this stack up to the sainted chicken?

>>22052050
It resembles a beef filet mignon, with a hint of duck. No resemblance with a chicken.

>>22052129
Interesting! Hope to try it one day.

>>22052129
i'd say a cross between filet mignon and turkey. i love ostrich, one of my favorite things to cook for fancier meals. tons of people in the US have never tried it so finding it outside a specific farm can be difficult.

Idk but I once had a long running debate with a buddy about whether food stamps should be a thing or not (me against). Years later (on account of me being a retard what fucked my whole life up) I sent him a picture of a package of kobe beef and a jar of caviar, which were the very first things I ever bought with food stamps.
The caviar was ok.
