What does CAVIAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
The salted eggs of the sturgeon and some other large fish, eaten as an expensive delicacy.
True caviar comes from sturgeon of the Caspian and Black Sea regions, and the finest kinds are among the costliest foods in the world. It is usually served cold in small amounts on toast or blinis, often with sour cream. Cheaper roe from salmon or lumpfish is sold under related names but is not the same thing. The English word reached us through Italian and Turkish forms, and the spelling caviare is also found.
