Last time it was truffles.

This time… it’s fish eggs.

Caviar, one of the most expensive foods in the world, didn’t start as luxury.

It started as leftovers.

In this episode of Out of My Budget Origins, Rab Greeson dives into the strange history of caviar, from struggling fishermen in ancient Persia… to Russian tsars… to French aristocrats… to billionaires today.

Why do people eat it with special spoons?

And how did fish eggs become a global status symbol?

From leftovers… to luxury…

This is the story of caviar.

Where shame becomes legend…

and luxury starts as yesterday’s leftovers.
