Well, any time I've ever taken caviar to a New Years party, it got
devoured! :-) It's a bit expensive, hence expanding it making those
cream cheese pinwheels. I prefer to eat it with cream cheese anyway.
It is a compatible flavor and it cuts the saltiness a bit.

I made that particular batch for my sister. She was quite pleased.

The previous year, I'd made a mixed cheese ball for a party I went to
and "frosted" the cheese ball with whipped egg whites mixed with caviar.
It worked out rather well.

I took an extra jar to the party to serve as well, but my host stashed
it. <g> Turns out he was a caviar lover too and considered the unopened
jar to be a "host gift".

I was ok with that!
