Pretty silly really, thing is they probably don't care if anyone buys it, it's just free advertising. I prefer cheap but well cooked food.

Sevruga caviar is the common Russian caviar available as the sevruga sturgeon is much more common than the beluga or osetra. But the taste is still outstanding none the less.

The sevruga sturgeon weigh less than 100 pounds. Servuga is the smallest grained of all the Sturgeon Caviars and ranges in color from light grey to almost black. It has a full, robust flavor.

It's a bit of a waste of the caviar and lobster to throw in 6 eggs. Who would want a 6 egg omelette anyway? :shrug:

I looked up how much 6 eggs weigh & it is about 14½ ounces, for large, but that includes the shell, so reduce 10% gives about nearly 13 ounces of 'egg'

It didn't say how much the lobster weighed, assume 16 ounces

Including the 10 ounces of caviar thats a total of 39 ounces - nearly 2½ pounds - just slightly over a Kilogram.

That wasn't a 'meal for one' :D

The only time I would spend $1,000 on a meal is if the money goes to charity.

Fish eggs? No thanks. I don't even like regular chicken ass-fruit.

I'm surprised that they didn't drench it in truffle oil; could have upped the price even more, then.
