How does the world's most expensive twinkie sound to you, delicious or disgusting? Would you eat a caviar twinkie with a whopping $125 price tag or would you rather take a pass on this bizarre culinary combination of the world's most and least expensive foods? While it might sound like a billionaire's eccentric recipe come to life, the caviar twinkie has many ordinary people reacting that they would love to have a bite, if only they could afford to. It's being called the food that could "break the Internet" with the number of views it is receiving. It just might be the modern day forbidden fruit, a delicacy that straddles the fine line between ritzy and gross. The only thing we know for sure is that if price wasn't an issue, we'd probably all be lining up for a taste of one, if only out of curiosity as to how it feels and tastes to be able to put caviar on just about anything.

Throughout my life, I have never really had the desire or the means to eat caviar, and although I've had the opportunity once or twice the notion of eating fish eggs just didn't sit right with me. I know a lot of people who don't even like fish to begin with, so I take it a lot of people would be revolted at the idea of devouring fish eggs to begin with. Adding in a twinkie, one of the most unhealthy and notorious of deep-fried foods, doesn't seem to make it any more appealing. Yet in the end it's not a question of taste but of people's interest in living the high life and feeling like a million bucks that creates some of the huge draw around this expensive yet intriguing culinary experiment.

Caviar is a delicacy that consists of salt cured fish eggs that are part of the Acipenseridae family. The roe can be fresh (non-pasteurized) or pasteurized, with pasteurization reducing its culinary and economic value. Traditionally, the word caviar refers only to roe from wild sturgeon in the Caspian and Black Sea (Beluga, Ossetra and Sevruga caviars). Depending on the country that you come from, caviar may also be used to describe the roe of other fish such as salmon, steelhead, trout, lumpfish, whitefish, and other species of sturgeon. Caviar is expensive, as it is considered a delicacy and is eaten as a garnish or a spread. The four main types of caviar come from the Beluga, Sterlet, Ossetra, and Sevruga. The rarest and most expensive type of caviar is from beluga sturgeon that swim in the Caspian Sea, which is bordered by the countries of Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan. Wild caviar production was suspended in Russia between 2008 and 2011 to allow wild stocks to replenish. Azerbaijan and Iran also allow the fishing of sturgeon off their coasts. Beluga caviar is prized for its soft, extremely large (pea-size) eggs. Caviar can range in color from pale silver-gray to black.
