Ah, but we Pagans are just as much into single malts . . .
. . though my favorite "paint stripper" (Peter W's description) is Laphroaig. Also caviar. California is now a leading producer of high quality caviar, as Russia fades from that scene. But don't you Communists have to avoid things like caviar because they are "bourgeois"?
Of course, here in Los Angeles we have a late night coffee shop named "Bourgeois Pig" - just right for us.

I had caviar when I was a kid. I didn't like it.
Amd yes, eating it is a display of bourgeois decadence. :0)

Ah, but speaking of Bourgeois Decadence . . .
. . aren't you Communists supposed to be drinking cheap vodka from a proletarian factory to give you courage to face defeat on the barricades?
Doesn't this expensive, Single Malt, carefully produced by capitalist entrepreneurs, qualify as Bourgeois Decadence? Methinks your Communist idealism wavers a bit, perhaps quite a bit.
And, childhood tasting experiences are completely invalid for adults, as taste changes quite radically. In some regions, coming to like bitter melon is considered evidence of entering into adulthood, as children can't stand it.

Have you been to Scotland? Decadent it ain't. ;0)
Although I did get a still unopened jug of something called "Toffee Vodka" in Moffat. I haven't worked up the courage to actually try it yet.

Well, there are different kinds of decadent.
On the Isle of Skye (at least a few years ago) the locals were very proud of the fact that there were more people on the island that had their licenses revoked for DUI than there were licensed drivers.

Caviar comes in different types
I've had caviar I hate and caviar I love. Try different ones.

We always used fish eggs for bait...
... when we went fishing at a trout farm in the Georgia mountains when I was a kid. (I'm not sure why we always went there to fish - I guess my dad didn't like waiting. ;-)
I never had much interest in trying caviar with that history.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cheers, Scott.

There's a new book out on brain nutrition . . .
. . and it says caviar is really top notch brain food. It says the biggest problem with brain nutrition is not enough plain water, which causes long term problems. It warns about purified and distilled water as insufficient. The author buys Poland Spring water by the case.
I'm in good shape - I drink a huge amount of Jerry Water (Gerolsteiner), almost a case a week. Fortunately I buy it on sale, $0.99 or $0.89 per bottle +CRV.

spring fed bottled water, right from a tap in brooklyn
I like appolinaris if I can find it any more. Jerry Water is pretty good as well.
