The World's First Luxury Canned Food Line

Filed under: Dining

When it comes to canned foods many are labeled "premium" or "top shelf," but there's really been no true luxury canned food line out there to choose from. Although I imagine that's due to the fact that people with money prefer fresh ingredients, there has to be some instances where something canned might come in handy? Well TASTE is answering the call and billing itself as the world's first luxury canned food line. Made from first class all-natural ingredients and packaged in a classy contemporary way, the line debuted in New York this month at the Summer Fancy Foods Show.

These canned goods sure sound good, but has anybody had the "luxury" of trying them yet?

A Caviar Taste Test

CNN's FSB magazine compiled a panel of two caviar experts - Ricky Estrellado, executive chef Nobu New York and Jean-Luc Kieffer, chef at NY's Picnic - and one "civilian" - their editorial director, Brian Dumaine - to taste test some farmed caviar to see how they stood up to beluga from the overfished sturgeon of the Caspian and Black Seas. Three of the tested caviars were American and one was French. Eggs from an American river sturgeon found in the Midwest were disliked by everyone and opinions were mixed on white sturgeon roe from California and the baeri Siberian sturgeon from France. They all loved the caviar from the wild American Paddlefish, though. And at only $20 an ounce, it's definitely an indulgence that won't break the bank.
