I love the way Andrew communicates with his host, he’s wholly focused on the dialogue at hand and expresses his palette concisely without embellishment. Thank you Mr. Zimmerman for an excellent food discovery guide.
You are spot on. He is a great presenter and host
Dont know about the caviar but that stroganoff looked damn good
Go Russia crush the Ukraine
Andrew is an amazing person.I love his show.
Am I the only one bothered by the amount of beluga caviar damaged by the lids of the can?
That's like $20 per egg down the drain
They don't care when their making 100 bucks for a table spoon
Beef strokinoff.
I have never eaten caviar but this makes me want to go to Russia and have Andrew’s experience
Your local grocery store will have some caviar in a tiny jar. Give it a try. The really good stuff is $100 an ounce though.

ya don't go now its about to be a world war
@@ryanperry8732 not in russia
Unfortunately, now would not be a good time.
We saw this segment on Andrew's TV show quite some time ago. This brings back fond memories. My wife and I took a business trip with two dozen others to Leningrad, Russia, while still Soviet Communist prior to it reverting back to St. Petersburg. It was 1990. The beluga was fantastic but the Osetra Karat Amber Russian Caviar was the absolute to-die-for favorite of most of us. From Israel, today, it comes so close to the Russian variety back then, that I find no differentiation.
Everything he eats is “Nutty” lol 😆
I swear hahaha
Bruh facts🤣🤣🤣🤣
He never ages with all that good food going into him, yum yum!
This is an old clip
So sexual and erotic
I noticed something strange. It's said you NEVER use metal utensils when serving/eating caviar because it badly affects the fish eggs...and yet...there is a big metal spoon in the caviar container, the waiter is making the tasting plate with metal utensils, and Andrew is eating it with a metal spoon and fork.
If it is metal, it has to be gold. Gold has no taste.
You’re correct
@@chenstormstout9456 your right compadre!
@@chenstormstout9456 ahhh what if it’s gold plated? I could not find it online and I forgot to ask last time was in russia
@@deananderson7877 gold is still gold, as long as it’s real it should be fine.
Andrew Zimmerman could not be more suitable for this role. He is so eloquent and mannered, his descriptive language perfect for the food critic. Hi timely eulogy to the late Anthony Bourdain was one of the most poignant pieces I’ve ever read.
I want some goddam caviar now
Goin to the store rn to get some 😂
Russia looks so different now, this must've been filmed in like 2006
good old days
Yup yup it was definitley filmed in the early 2000s because if you look closely you'll see someone talking on a flip phone.
I think this episode first aired in 2008
why is everyone using metal silverware??-- pearl, clean plastic is the chosen method
That's what I was thinking...someone stole my caviar spoons. 🙏
You better say good things about their food or otherwise stay out of sight of any windows!
Gotta love how my people have been eating caviar for hundreds of thousands of years up on the Klamath river
You must be Karuk Indian
No not really. Seeing as they were the ones that helped bring them to the brink of extinction
@@salvagemonster3612 how is that?? We never over fished we always fished what we needed never how it is today.. the problem is people who have no native sturgeon still have a demand for their eggs so u get a population across the globe searching for a product exclusive to certain environments.. if everyone ate what naturally occurred around them
We wouldn’t have a problem with over fishing and over using.. even when we fished salmon we only fished the body of the runs, we allowed the head and tail of the runs to hit the headwaters for spawning which insured species to survive for 100,000+ years vs now how everything just disappeared.. doubt it was our fault buddy just he honest and understand your ancestors egos and the greed of today are killing the populations of the earth
@@salvagemonster3612 a big part of their decline is the 4 dams that are suppose to come out over the next few years.. they restricted water flow and made it harder for fish to survive in the waters... educate yourself my dude we all children of the earth gotta know how she works
@@haroldcroy922 Sturgeons ARE endangered though. These fish reach sexually maturity at around 20 years old and yet when they spawn, people are taking the egg sacs for the sake of gourmet luxury. Its a status symbol, a stupid one at that. Like think about, its just salted fish eggs. Sturgeon that caviar comes from ranges from vulnerable to CRITICALLY endangered. Only ONE type is nowhere near that range. Its to the point where farm caviar is the new norm because its cheaper to farm raise fish but people still want and demand the "wild caught" type. Its the extremely delicate balance between survival for humans and the survival for nature that we really need to worry about (Hello? WE SEE CLIMATE CHANGE EVERY DAY). And while people try to do both, it just goes to show that as humans, there is no such thing as "cruelty free" in our diets.
What's the song at the beginning? Its really dope
Trying to be fancy by doing that finger thing Everytime he takes a bite lol
He does it really well I think.
That’s…how you’d eat these?
He annoys me and idk why 🤷♂️
I'm watching this as I eat a plate full of pizza bites.
😂😂😂👍👍👍
Colder the water 💧, Better the Caviar 🍣
It looks very tasty !
The way I'm salivating watch him eat all that caviar....
Ok really? Does everything taste nutty to you?
That’s what she said
Lol
He does seem gay
Pretty good job you've got there, Bub. If you get restless you can always do a review on local icecream varieties.
Caviar doesn't live up to its PR
Im a no limit soldier...Straight seafood...No odor...Whats up Andrew...
You know the town isn't secure when he says that is the most secure room in town.
Who was using the metal or silver spoon in the kitchen (with the caviar)?
Wow that tasting plate looks absolutely delicious I would love to try that 😋 💯
I tried for a long time to find caviar of good quality and at a good price - in the end I opted for Lembreg caviar, and was very pleased. This year I have tried sturgeon caviar for the first time in my life and now it is my favorite caviar.
Giggity giggity all right
@@Chris-wb2so haha it is funny because you say giggity like quagmire but your name is chris haha
Love caviar---- you lucky @#@#@#@@#--love your channel-was your biggest fan 12 yrs ago-Hyour back Andrew
It was like looking at my full blooded brother trying to fight for our mother's honour. 😢
I tried a three-caviar sampler once. The Beluga was definitely the best!
You said it sister
I know one thing for sure, I ain't no fancy man.
Never use silver when eating caviar , that's basic 101!
Im suprised that they are using metal spoons on the caviar, and not mother of pearl spoons
It's an hotel, 90% of the people that orders caviar are tourists
@@bane2007 * It's *a* hotel, 90% of the people that *order* caviar are tourists.
@@grammarofficerkrupke4398 Is their a reason your being a Grammar N*azi? They're is no reason too around correcting every mistake on UA-cam.
@@captainobvious9233 there* lol
@@captainobvious9233 there
I love how it's explained that the Beluga fish is endangered......... prooobably because they keep taking millions of eggs from it 😂
when you don't realise you're holding your knife upside down while eating caviar hahahah
*crickets*
Please don't ask "who's still listening in 2019, 2020 ,2100, 3000,..." We'll be coming here till the end of time
I know that's right lol I tried caviar once did not like it at all. way to slimy and fishy taste to me....
What about 2021? Anyone listening in 2021?
I’ve always been partial to Sevruga.
I just noticed that the caviar sample was missing the salmon caviar. Unless Andrew Zimmern asked for it to be omitted.
It's too cheap and common
Might be that Mr. Zimmern has more experience or just better taste than many other bloggers, might be that he's just better in describing what he tastes. Anyway he's convincing.
$56 is a great deal for the caviar sample platter
Looks like St Petersburg is definitely the place to go for caviar
Using metal spoons is a no no
I thought one was not to use silver utensils to touch/serve the Xavier…
That beef stroganoff looks nothing like my hamburger helper.... are you sure that's real beef stroganoff?
Good bread enhances flavour of caviar more than crepe in my opinion.
Good bread alters the taste, so it depends on what you are looking for.
or potato
The problem with good bread is that it can also alter the taste of the fish eggs. You want a carrier for the ingredient you want to highlight, not compete with it
Andrew, Love all of your vids--miss your ole show--watching your new You Tube gig--- Hope you got your Typhoid shot-- was required when we went 20 years ago---Easily the top ten of Art galleries/museums in the world---Peace out ,wishing you nothing but the very Best !
A country of great culture and great cuisine
👍👍👍
Wish i could taste 😋
Handling /eating most expensive CAVIAR with metal instruments???
I was surprised that they did not provide a caviar spoon?
When he was eating the beef stroganoff I didn’t even see him use any sour cream
"This is a country in the midst of an evolution"
That one didnt' age so well
OMG, from the moment in which he put the metal spoon in the caviar tin, he ruined all....
It was good to see him not go over his Caviar allotment.
Not so bizarre foods..more like really good foods..lol
Love caviar, a place where it's street food though? Wow
I bet it's nutty 😆
I want to know the music song used at the beginning? Can anybody help?
No
I'll never understand fish roe as food. I guess I don't have the palette for it.
its like devil's food really .....Eating human babies is now the new norm
Puts egg inside the eggshell and sturgeon caviar inside with egg and its beautiful... let me try and see if its beautiful too lol
He gets the sampler plate and only uses the sour cream lol
What?! The music is sooo different from the American one 😮
If I had 3 ounces of caviar, I'd stretch it out with lots of tiny bites, a few grams each, letting a few eggs linger on the tongue at a time. Don't know how you can just wolf it down, the whole dish, in a few bites.
I want this man's job
Those people were jailed for feeding the ducks after the filming stopped.
I hate fish but I want to try caviar for some reason lol
Rye bread, butter, hard boiled eggs sliced, real mayonnaise not that sweet miracle whip stuff, and caviar on top. Add cracked black pepper and enjoy.
THANKS! Would I offend you if I use Tabasco sauce?
Nice
Does the actual fish get sold 😊
wooww, sepertinya enak
Exactly. All over the world we are taught never to use a metal spoon when serving caviar. Only mother of pearl spoon or solid gold is acceptable yet all over the net they use a metal spoon !
wow this video is ancient
mid 2000s looks like
I hate Canadian dark cold winters and while this film looks inviting even Canafian summers are too short.
Omg I'm so hungry
there's only 1 thing i give zimmerman and that is: if your on a diet just watch him eat and you'll lose your appetite
Metal spoon in the caviar? Rookie move. Tsk tsk tsk.
@Katie C mother of pearl, wood, plastic…anything but metal unless it’s pure gold or platinum, prince.
My caviar is the white clump that comes from the fired smelt.
6:01 where the actual tasting happens.
That beef stroganoff tho
What do you call a cow that abuses itself?
beef strokin off
I would think that they would serve it appropriately instead of using metal utensils
@Katie C Certain metals cause a reaction and can effect the taste💁😂 It's ok it's not common knowledge. I wouldn't have known had I not seen it on a video.
Ok, can anyone guess the USD $ cost for this tasting? Caviar only.
Where is did he found Step in north Eastern Russia?
Those are some very expensive fish eggs. And for every teaspoon full eaten, there are 15 less sturgeon in the sea, can't say I see the logic in that, given the state of things.
I’ve never eaten caviar but even I know you eat it with a mother of Pearl spoon.
The beginning intro of this video....now all destroyed by the war
So scrambled eggs back in shell with caviar on top?
I'll bet his farts would clear a room
😂
You can get the American version in the Hickory Farm's sample pack.
Lol. Right.
I noticed he didn't put any sour cream on the Beluga. Why the others and not the Beluga?
Same reason you'd make a mixed drink with Jack Daniels but not with a 25 year old scotch.

Many said that eating shrimp paste, Dog meat, cow's cock and balls, Fertilized Duck's eggs, bile soup, insects, animal's internal organs, cobra, field mice, frog, tadpoles, snails and similar food like what we eat here in the Philippines are grose, barbaric and inhumane but caviar which is practically fish eggs are wealthy and elite food. What🤷🤦⁉️
I got lost after the bile soup
Andrew “Nutty” Zimmerman
Its all gone now
3:47 he chuckles just to fill the moment he didnt understand.
No
My first time ever eating caviar was on a Christmas Eve. A family member gave a jar of store bought Black Lumpfish Roe so I put a smear of cream cheese on a cracker and top it with the caviar. A most unpleasant tasting experience. Crunchy, salty, and britney. A most pleasant experience many years later visiting Las Vegas I wondered into a Caviar Restaurant. I was greeted my a tall blonde hair hostess in a long black gown. I explained my experience from the past and was offered a chair to pull up to the bar and was offered a sampling of many Caviars. I was hooked and ran back to my resort and played a few hands of Blackjack, won enough to go back to the Caviar Restaurant and paid $600.00 for a tin of Ossetra black caviar and a bottle of cold Vodka and every year at Christmas I treat myself to this fine elegant indulgence.
He’s eating this with a metal fork you’re supposed to use pearl or mother of pearl
Caviar with a fork?
