24 karat Gold ‘Caviar’
May 4, 2009
Inventions that the world doesnt need…?
Beverlyhillscaviar.com offers an imitation of caviar made out of gold flakes, white wine and lemon (so they say). Surely ideal to decorate sea food and sweets…Pricetag on a 2.6oz jar: 145USD.
See also this (almost funny!) interview on metacafe.com with the owners of lonestarcaviar.com and beverlyhillscaviar.com. You might tell your potential clients that all fish eggs fall under the ‘caviar’ category. But I highly recommend you to do that only in the US!
Bill, Beluga is ‘just as good as American Caviar’? From which lonely star does this fact come from? And what the heck is a ‘black sturgeon’? Just the oposite of the US ‘white sturgeon’ maybe?
Bono drowns in caviar-filled bath!!!
April 23, 2009
“Bono R.I.P.
Shocking news is breaking that world-famous lead singer from U2, Paul Hewson a.k.a. Bono, was found dead this morning in a penthouse suite of a hotel in Amsterdam.
At 10:00 this morning staff of the Intercontinental Amstel hotel in Amsterdam made the decision to enter Bono’s penthouse suite despite the “Do Not Disturb” sign hung on the door. The decision was taken after Bono’s missed an appointment to meet his new Dutch accountant to discuss important taxation affairs.
Upon entering the room staff were shocked to discover Bono submerged in a bath of caviar. Urgent attempts were made to revive Mr. Hewson but the emergency CPR attempts were hindered by the large quantities of Almas Beluga caviar which were blocking his windpipe.
Authorities arrived on the scene and do not currently suspect foul play, however enquiries are being made as to the whereabouts of the supplier of such a large quantity of Almas Beluga caviar, which famously retails for £25,000 per kilo, and samples of the caviar have been sent to the Nederlands Forensisch Instituut in the Hague for testing to rule out any possibility of poisoning.
Bono’s body has been removed to the city morgue and it is expected that cause of death will be either asphyxiation or the rarely seen ‘indulgence toxicity’, however it has been advised that no statement on this will be given until a full toxicity test has been undertaken.
Hendrickje Brinkerhoff, a hair stylist in an exclusive salon a near to the International Amstel, said this afternoon that she had been delighted to serve Mr. Hewson on a couple of occasions recently. “I think it’s really sad,” Ms. Brinkerhoff said. “He seemed like a very happy man and had said that the people in Holland were so much better dressed than the Irish that he knew. He made me laugh when he said that but I wasn’t sure how he would take me giving him advice on his own fashion sense.” She later added “It’s funny, he wouldn’t take his sunglasses off even when I was washing his hair.”
Outside the Intercontinental Amstel hotel a sizeable crowd had gathered and many people expressed shock at Mr. Hewson’s death. Rykaard Groesbeck, a local artist, said, “That’s terrible. It seems such a cruel way to go, and what a waste of such expensive caviar!”
Geertje Schermerhorn, a student who was passing by, said, “That’s awful, and I was only listening to ‘Shiny Happy People’ this morning. The world must be much less happy now.”
As news of Mr. Hewson’s death spreads across the Internet, the Chief of Police (Hoofdcommissaris) has issued a fairly terse summary of the death: “On Wednesday the 1st of July 2009 at approximately 1000 hours, in the centrum precinct, police responded to the InterContinental Amstel at Professor Tuppelin 1 and found a M/W/48 unconscious. The victim was pronounced DOA upon removal from a bath filled with Almas Beluga caviar. Investigation continues.”
U2’s manager and other band members have so far been unavailable for comment.”
Obviously another 1st of April prank…!

Death Roe – by Joseph Heywood
March 25, 2009
Joseph Heywood’s mystery novel called ‘Death Roe’ is about Grady Service, a detective for Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources. Usually, the people Service pursues are poachers and other violators of fish and game laws.
In this, the sixth book in the series (Woods Cop Mysteries), Service comes across a deadly mare’s nest involving tainted Lake Ontario salmon eggs, intended for bait only, mixed with clean Michigan eggs and sold to cruise lines as caviar.
The eggs were contaminated with the insecticide mirex. The resultant “caviar” can sicken people and even kill them.
Service’s investigation takes him from the wilds of Michigan to Alaska, to New York’s Ukrainian mafia territory and to Costa Rica.
It got 5***** on Amazon.com
Meet crazy Matt – the angler
March 23, 2009
Thomas Watson invented the telephone. Yeah, what an invention! But this was – as we all know – a double tracked happening together with Mr. Bell. And therefor something to be expected back in these days. Now, another Watson came up with another idea, which is truly unique and unexpected!
Meet crazy kiwi Matt Watson, the worlds most offbeat fisherman there is. Since his appearance at the David Letterman show he became pretty popular. But for some he still might be worthy to mention. Matt might have had the same thought as the Old Man and the Sea: “To hell with luck. I’ll bring the luck with me.”
So, he fishes a marlin on a surf board (yes, thats right) - fighting over 90min and getting dragged out to the sea for about 11miles -, or on his very bored days he jumps out of a chopper, dives into the sea and grabs out another marlin. Check out these and other impressive footages of crazy Matt!

For those of you who might wonder how life is in the upcountry of Uruguay, here’s a snapshot. This can be commonly observed in the tiny village near our partners sturgeon farm. It’s pure gaucho land.

Russian caviar vending machine?

Dunno if this is bloody serious or just a really bad joke.
Either way it delivers me a smile.
(Update: according to a source this machine sells salmon caviar and not sturgeon. Uff, the world makes sense again! Thx for the tip, Velly)
...and probably illegal wild caviar...
