Elevate your dining experience with a spoonful of caviar. This is what I did recently at Caviar House Prunier in the heart of Piccadilly. I’ve often walked past, and a few weeks ago I walked back in for the second time for an introduction to Prunier Caviar.
As Noel Coward said “Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade’. I love caviar it is a huge treat, just like great wit. The only person to disagree with this quote would be our dear Paddington Bear!
If you are lucky to have had a little caviar, it’s either at a party, or maybe you’ve been gifted a tin. Do you really know the way you should be eating caviar? I certainly didn’t, and here at Caviar House Prunier in London, you can learn all the tricks of the trade.
