    Priceless! I mean, darling, who doesn't keep a stick or two of bottarga in their fridge?

    Oops- forgotten what bottarga is already. Must go back and have another look.

    Might be able to find some botulism if I take a swab to that awkward drainy bit at the back.

    What is wrong with you lot???? And you give the illusion of being organised and well-stocked. Honestly, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
    No bottarga indeed! Whatever is the average housewife coming to these days?
    Get down to the deli/ market/ erm, eh,wherever you buy your caviar from should do it, and get your store cupboard stocked properly.

    Dahlings one should always have a pot of caviar on hand to feed ones family in emergencies. How dare the rabble think that we could live on beans on toast :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
