The spread looks gorgeous and tastes exquisite. The caviar explodes with flavor, and these small fish eggs make an intriguing accompaniment to the larger egg underneath. The total for this trip was $21.50, busting the bank by a buck and a half. Had I shopped on Tuesday, my bill would have come to $19.35, thanks to Medeo offering 10 percent off on Tuesdays. Looks like someone else will have to bring the Stoli. What’s a Russian meal without vodka?
Total $21.50
Beets $0.95
Caviar $7.75
Apricots $1.46
Dill $1.49
Rye Bread $2.95
Puff Pastry $1.95
Smoked Salmon $4.95
