I'm in favor of cheesecake for dessert (cream cheese, not jello). Or shortbread.

In reading old novels I have found that strawberries with whipped cream-powdered sugar and champagne, and strawberries with brown sugar and sour cream/creme fraiche have been trading places as "elegant" and "peasant food" for the last century.

So I say - serve the caviar any way you want. Just explain to guests that this is the "noveau" way to serve it. Or better yet, print this out and hang it by the serving table. I'll bet they all get a giggle and maybe a little education(I sure did - thanks for brightening my day!!!) Elaine
