That's like saying that Trabant is a much cheaper alternative to Bentley. Technically it is... but not quite.
Edit:
I don't know how to be any more clearer here, but "Olive tapenade as a beluga caviar alternative" is straight from the /shit-the-hn-says department, it's beyond ridiculous. "Ketchup as a San Marzano tomato alternative."
- Nursie 7y agoI'd have more sympathy for your viewpoint if caviar actually tasted as good as olive tapenade ...
- orthoxerox 7y agoWell, olives are revolting to me, while caviar tastes great.
- SomeOtherThrow 7y agoThe only thing ridiculous here is the level of snobbery people will go out of their way to express without any prompting.
- L_226 7y agoLooks like I was spot on with the signalling analysis.
- pvaldes 7y agoIs an interesting comparison. Salty taste and color could relate in some ways, but tapenade don't has the "exploding in your mouth" part, neither the strong fish oil taste. Is perfectly good in its own terms even if is not caviar.
- dllthomas 7y agoWhile by no means required, it's not unusual for a tapenade to incorporate anchovies or anchovy paste which gives some measure of fishiness.
