How is this a slur word? Not trying to provoke, I just doubt that the guest poster meant any offense.

Please stop using the bad word eskimo,it is as bad as using the N word for blacks or calling a white person a cracker.
We prefer to be called Inuit, I know most people do not care about us native Inuits and like to use the slurr, but I would appreciate it if you would not use it on a site that is supposed to be friendly. I know mostly whites use this site,but some of us are of other races and it would be nice to not feel racially attacked.

In reply to Jenny. Taramasalata can be made with mashed potato instead of bread.

I noticed that you use water to soak the bread. Ive seen recipes that soak it in milk instead. Have you tried that? Wondering how it changes the final product.

I have a question, I have an opened jar of tarama for a few months but it hasn't expired yet. It is still good to use/eat?

My pantry is also stocked with canned sardines, mussels and salmon! For a quick lunch I fry up an egg, cut up some veggies and open a can of sardines (sardines in mustard sauce are my favorites).
I used to eat taramasalata when growing up, I should be getting it again at the polish store, or maybe find some tarama too!

Karen -

If you're grain-free, I'd eat taramasalata on vegetables. Sliced cucumber, over fried or poached eggs, carrot sticks would all be good. Taramasalata typically contains bread crumbs, though, so you might want to subsitute something else. I've heard of white beans being used, but I'm not sure if you're also legume-free in addition to grain-free.

I finally found the tarama in the refridgerated section by the horseradish and other stuff like that. I had (wrongly)assumed that it was shelf-stable. This store carries a lot of Kronos and other Greek products.

I don't eat bread or grains. Any other ideas on what to eat the taramasalata on? Carrot or celery sticks?

hi Jenny,
I wondering where you buy your fish roe? Its $13 dollars for 1.75 oz here and I'd like to eat more of it, but its so expensive. Do you have a good online source you use? I know you live in Colorado. I live in Fort Collins. Do you know anyone in the area who sells it? Thanks,
Amy
