    Golden Osetra. 12/04/08. I am allergic to fish. My reaction: anaphylactic. But I was offered a taste of this amazingness.  The image above actually is the after photo, though it looks pretty much untouched because I ate only exactly two eggs off of a tiny white spoon. I’d always laughed when they described great caviar as being like “a kiss from the sea.”  Now I get it.  Those two eggs tasted like making out with the ocean. But then I got nervous. I wasn’t sure if my lips were starting to itch, if my throat was swelling shut, or if it was all an imaginary response, in my head.  So I took both a Benedryl and a Xanax to cover all bases — potential allergic reaction and panic attack.
