Slurping caviar | Boom, you crush the fish eggs in one go
Volgens House of Caviar & Fine Foods is 'Kaviaar slurpen' de trend
Slurping caviar
In English they call it a caviar bump – in Dutch: ‘Slurping caviar’. According to House of Caviar & Fine Foods: the trend of this year. Our colleague Leonie van Spronsen wrote a blog about it in May this year, unfortunately in Dutch. In this blog, she also gave another delicious recipe that should be served on hand, a combination of pata negra and foie gras. Both products must be at the right temperature; fold a slice of the pata negra and place a cube of foie gras on it!

House of Caviar & Fine Foods | ‘Slurping caviar’ is the trend of the year
Caviar is this year’s number one favourite snack. TikTokker Danielle Matzon went viral with her video of caviar on rye bread, chefs like Rasmus Munk (Alchemist, No 5 Worlds Best Restaurant), food trend watchers and TV programmes like Masterchef also paid massive attention to the ‘black gold’, the eggs of the sturgeon.
Ashkan Mossafaian, owner of the oldest caviar house in the Netherlands, House of Caviar & Fine Foods: “Caviar as a snack has received a huge boost this year. Its salty taste and soft mouthfeel are perfectly compatible, even with fast food.”
Caviar on soft-serve, on chips and even on a burger
Caviar with soft-serve ice cream, caviar with crispy chicken, caviar on a burger, caviar on chips. These are new variations on the classic combinations of caviar with a poached egg, caviar on a blini or caviar with potato.
Mossafaian: “Once it was food for poor fishermen because caviar contains good fats, then caviar became a delicacy for tsars and the Persian elite. Dostoevsky ate it by spoonfuls at a time when he finished another chapter of Crime and Punishment.” And it is common knowledge that king Willem Alexander and queen Máximá from the Netherlands love to open a can because of the “velvet caress across the tongue”. According to Mossafaian gives caviar a feeling of luxury and is serving it a fun ritual.

Fun caviar ritual: Open the tin of caviar. Using a bone spoon, scoop out the caviar and place it on the mouse of your or someone else’s hand. Wait ten seconds and then slurp it up. The caviar is at perfect temperature. Boom, you crush the eggs to the roof of your mouth for the ultimate taste sensation.
