Really produced …in the RUSSia? by 2composers on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Finally, I got around to shoot the–now empty–jar of Russian Black Caviar, yes, the one we had in the back of our cupboard! Indeed, I had received 113 g of fish eggs as a barter payment for Apple consulting services rendered in Taiwan more than a dozen years ago…
Looking at the lid closely, it makes me wonder if this was the real thing, the writing somehow looks funny: “Ministery of fisheries of the RUSSia?” Hmmm! But then again, it has the word “Malossol” on its label indicating that the roe is preserved with a minimum amount of salt, malossol being the Russian for “little salt.” The numbers imprinted on the lid read “100895” so it could have been filled in its jar August 1995… Mysteries!
