This Rare ‘Caviar’ Comes From Lemons
ฝัง

- On a farm in Eus, France, where the sun shines 320 days out of the year, Etienne and Perrine Schaller grow lemon caviar. This special fruit, native to Australia, is known in the English-speaking world as finger lime. Lemon caviar is full of beads of deliciousness that look just like caviar. And, like caviar, it’s pricey. The Schallers sell theirs to top chefs like Daniel Lutrand, who invites us to Le Pastis Restaurant in Montpellier, France, to sample one of his elegant dishes.

Everything's ordinary and affordable until french found out.
Japanese too.
Just put gourmet in front of it and you are done.
Exactly
Its called French hegemony, killing the sources
They mysteriously they go endangered from original source 🤔
World: *lemon caviar* = $1
France: *L'lemon du Caviar* =$100
Omelette du fromage
Actually "Le Caviar du Citron"
@@eduardohernandezrodriguez3236, the joke is in the incorrect way it's been said, as per the infamous scene from dexter's labratory :

Ahahahaha
would be more like 100€ though
Pretty sure the Aussies are laughing somewhere around here....finger limes are native there after all
Emaline L. I have two finger lime trees in my back garden in Western Australia... guess I’m a millionaire now pfff
@@hesterhenrietta261 there's a business idea, might as well take advantage of it.
Hester Henrietta just like any other food in france. They are hyping it too much so people will think its fancy and worth the high price. Lol.
MidnightFUn12 totally agreed ! And fact that their food no where near as good anymore, now just some fancy thing on top of another fancy thing and some "michellin star" for seasoning ... boring as hell
decadent west and their indulgence, welcome to the 2020 great depression
Shh, don't tell the French that Australia has had this for years...
Okay
We own you Australia, GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!🇬🇧
The Royal Foundation of Britain, UK bro shut up, you are the owner of infinite debt now that you left europe 💀
Jordan LMAO ikr
The Royal Foundation of Britain, UK this isn’t the 17th century sorry
French - taking common things from somewhere else, giving them fancy names and crank their prices up to the heaven since God knows when.
AKA cultural appropriation LOL
Isn't that Japan?
@@chrono-glitchwaterlily8776 nah that's french.Dont know how you think that's Japan.
Magma 09 they’re saying japan does the same thing
Yes. Its all in the marketing and exploiting the market
They don’t mention that it actually comes from Australia originally
anything they find fancy - its theirs
@@popcorn0038 oui.
It’s in the description but most ppl don’t read that
Ah yes my favourite Fish
*_L e m o n s_*
Just A Dio Who's A Hero For Fun lol
Lemon fish is a name they use for shark I think!
Lemon shark
So you're the new justin y
Wtf is with that prof profile picture lmao
Ahh, the French. Making everything sound exotic and expensive.
yeah la
Wtf ? Australia is literally the other aide of the world to France. So yes things that are grown there are not easy to find and consequently expensive until enough peuple know about it and buy it to make the price lower. It's logical.
@@anne-laurebrun7034 why you spam every comment with same shit 🙄
@@SaretGnasoh because there are people who thinks it's that exclusive and it's just the French being mean. Don't y'all see how bad the mankind made the environment into and then complain about the price to pay for it.
When life gives you lemons...
You make fishinade
You make money out of it
You use it as lube
Make em produce less fruit and call em caviar. Then let rich people buy it.
... don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Sooo.. everyone just vibing and watching lemon caviar cause they have no other work to do in the quarantine?
Well actually anything that pops out and it seems interesting 😁
I actually have a lot of work to do, but I just don’t want to do it.
@@DennisChainsawman same here giorno
Nah, this is my daily life
I’ll ruin the 69 likes haha
This "rare" citrus was literally sold at Costcos in Phoenix everywhere...
Ok but not in most places... you are unaware of anything outside phoenix or other store...🙌👏👏👏 argue with me
@@jryde421 you're*
@@jryde421 did someone hurt you?
Is it expensive?
Man wish i was in Phoenix
"That you can't find on the supermarket shelves"*
*Unless you live in Australia
*Meanwhile in Australia:* Finger Limes! Get your Finger Limes here! Only half a buck per lime, people!
Yall stay safe during quarantine. Have an amazing day everyone
Thanks
Wash ur hands
You too. I'll try my best. My industrial job is considered essential so I'm still around people. Thanks!
No u
U too bruda
I feel like this was a desperate attempt at making something more interesting as well as expensive than it actually is
Got that vibe too
These finger limes are Native to Australia and have been around for thousands upon thousands of years.
May be worth mentioning this in the video, rather than France laying claim to it. Still use it, however, state where it comes from.
Can you send me some seeds! I’ve never need them and obviously never tasted them! It would be cool to have
that's a key point. Having a brief history of the plant was essential to this video
For some reason
I get the urge of wanting to squeeze those little beads with my fingers just by looking at them
Same
How’d you get your name like that?
They are like popping jelly from bubble tea.
Literally an orb full of liquid
They remind me of pomegranates.
Pikamoomoo but with pomegranate you have the seeds inside of the fruit , which interrupts the caviar feeling of the fruit
You can eat the seeds lol
th-cam.com/video/OlI8r3nNUVw/w-d-xo.html
NO POMEGRANATES!
@@MrBones-yc1jg NO NO NO NO NO POMAGRANITS
Every French thing is expensive.
LØVe or are they?
Or so the germans would have us believe?!?
It has to be imported, flown over to the USA.
Try Japanese things 😄
LØVe I know lmao I literally have a finger lime tree in my backyard
If Lemon can make Caviar
That mean
Fish can make Fishenade
Hunter Knife underrated comment 😂
They can - it's called fish sauce!
"The trees aren't fruitful"
10 second before, watches owner pluck a flower...
That was actually not a lemon flower that was a species of lemon, it’s called Buddhas Hand. It’s looks similar to a hand or a flower.
(citrus flowers are mostly very small and white)
@@ohboilien REEEEE Buddhas hands are not a species of lemon, they are just a species of citrus. Why does every citrus fruit have to be a lemon???
And also lemon were man-made they're hybrid of citron and orange
Last time I was this early, we weren’t in a pandemic
arent we all
Mandy Hahahahahahaha 😐
@@lil_sixxo lmao
"We charge more cause the work is physically tedious." Farmworkers in the US are like🤔
Awesome. Never knew there were lemon beads that look just like caviar.
Cue The More You Know PSA music
B C Nasty surprise when you bite into them and they are sour. 😖😖😖😖😖😖
Its depend on the dish, I love sour *drooling*
You know they're like all over the place in Australia, you can get them a lot cheaper
1:22 Those would be called *_"Buddha Hand,"_* being mostly of fragant zest.
I have had this lemon; it was a trip.
It tastes just like a lemon, but the texture is fascinating.
I am now just rewatching all of their videos bc they are all interesting and it makes me feel as if they aren’t gone
When life gives you lemons...
Eat it like a caviar.
Well thats just pulp
This is exactly the type of video I want from GBS, great job!
Imagine a cold Corona with one of these limes 😩😎
What?
Dook larue they means the drink
In this troubled times, you should probably precise "Beer". XD
We have the giant version of that "caviar ",we called "pomelo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And it's sweet too 😉
@@nuralisya7209 yeeaahh
When I come in that 5 star resturant I want my plate full......tf am I gonna do with 3 lil piece of salmon😤😂
Caviar comes from seafood only.
Lemon: hold my pulp
I love finding episodes of GBS that I missed!
Could’ve sworn I saw these at The Fresh Market for dirt cheap 👀
They remind me of those little things
When u remove the little thingy on the orange
Those capsules that contain the juice?
That's a great description.
Yes I'm one of people who eats orange like that remove all the skins then eat
good to see Australian flora all over the world
p.s macadamia nut
Everybody stay safe during quarantine!! ❤
these lucky ass living in cou tryside dont have to worry
OMG I CANT HEAR IT ANYMORE...SHUT YOUR FACE
Shawol Potterhead no
When you buy $1690 and 90 C for something you could have bought for 5 bucks at a Walmart 😕
last time i was this early corona was just a beer
Love Is All You Need lol😂
Nice story but no mention of where it comes from: the tropical rainforests of North Eastern Australia. Now thats the really interesting story
11 person and i just luv it
I was camping at Lamington National Park this past weekend and came across a fruiting finger lime tree on a walk in the rainforest where they natively grow.
2:20 Keith?? 😂😂
He looks kinda like Zach tbh
Oh look something eatable and rare! Chefs: IT'S RARE SO IT'S AUTOMATICLY DELICIOUS I MUST HAVE IT!!"
But its not rare?
Its a native plant here in Australia so it struggles to grow in the cold European climate, thats why their plants are not fruitful
Wow delicious story !
*TH-cam suggestions* : lemon caviar
*Me* : alright there we go
I don’t know how that lemon caviar tastes but I really wanna put it on my greeting card!
theyre so prettyyy
Tbh, I would have liked it more if it actually tasted like lemons because ima vegetarian so vegetarian caviar is something to try...
It does taste like lemons tho, they said it was acidic in the video
The comment section in a nutshell
0.00001% : talking about the video
99.99999% : ClaSsiC fRenCh MaKInG EvEryTHinG ExPenSIve (which I actually agree about)
You can't pay for the vitality of the experience nor the expression you developed from experiencing something that somebody delivered to you with theirs
Everybody gangsta till the French people starts to bring out lemon caviar.
To everyone in the comments saying "I grow these in my backyard why is it so expensive there" maybe it has to do with the growing conditions? The climate between France and Australia must be drastically different, so of course growing conditions would be difficult, and the harvest wouldn't be as plentiful. Not to mention the fruit could also be weak and not very hardy, making importing difficult, as with many expensive "exotic" fruits. It would be hard to import to another country, but in that country it's plentiful.
R/woosh
The French be taking toilet rolls and calling it coronavirus cure and selling it for some huge ass price
I never expected that we could have vegan caviar 🤣😋👍
Fun Fact : Finger Limes are indigenous to Australia and are a native delicacy! And then everyone else stole them }:(
It’s the Macadamia Nut situation all over again, the foreigners finally fine a native Australian food that they actually in joy and then all of a sudden the majority of production is moved over seas! And not only that but then people start talking that the food is native to the foreign country, completely forgetting it’s Australia origins!
I'm not trying to offend anyone but I think one of the biggest reasons it is expensive is because they have put "caviar" on its name. If its worth is close to the real caviar's price then damn, they are overpricing it too much.
I'm going to try to order some. Or a tree! I've never heard of this fruit until now! And I've seen a lot of fruits.
Agribusiness, how Scalable?
Exponential.
New Wave of French Revolution. My Name is in Hakka.
I gotta have one now
I mean I am not surprise if a group of people can make bread expensive they would make lemons expensive.
It looks like the dipping dots in the drink bursties in hungry jacks
If life gave me these lemons, I would never complain again😂😂
People : snails
THE FRENCH: *EssCarGgotT*
Aussie mates :finger limess and rise up lights
The French: *CaViiaRr* lime
Slavery
The French: labor paid off in food and shelter
This is the kind of Caviar I would support... I hate ppl murdering fishes for caviar
mmm i wanna try this now
that grilled fish on toast looked amazing
Reminds me of a grapefruit. Pomelo in my local language 😂
The owners look like they're about to burst out laughing in the beginning
Who else salivating while watching them eat the lemon? 🤤🤤🤤
My mouth is salivating 🤤
Super rare, chill out cob..
*teleports to Australia then proceeds to laugh in english*
I never seen this but wow wat a wonder god is marvelous for creating this 😳😃👍💪😎
Finally! The one that I've waited for 😍 but still didn't get my hands on them 😷🙏
nice vid. nice to see people doing something that isnt unkind.
nobody gonna talk about how that chefs hands were so dirty...
you can get the same exact thing by deskinning a segment and separating every single piece of a grapefruit with a fork
THERE!! thats your "caviar" and it only cost 29 cents. its free if you live in texas, california or florida
29 cents (USA) vs $70.00 (France)
The only thing my brain was thinking of when I was watching his coronavirus!
When life gives you lemons, make caviar.... apparently
This is literally just pomelo but smaller lmao
I want to try this.
Great french's story
Brilliant! I want to try! I have a feeling it may be overrated tho.
"It's expensive because the trees aren't very fruitful..."
And that's MY fault, Pierre?!
They should call this *Vegan Caviar*
I want some of those
I have 2 trees that are loaded with them right now...I can’t wait to try them!
I hope to try them one day!
Cool i like lemons
so this is nature's version of popping boba...
Ah yes, *F R E N C H*
It is common in india too french can buy from anywhere in the world it will be cheap for them .
It's always the French, or Japanese who discover some livestock or produce, and then create some new process for growing and harvesting it that somehow justifies a 100% plus increase in the original value.
so basically they are citrus fruits without the skin but of course they are extrodianry because their FRRRRAANCHHHeee lol
When life gives you lemons, grow caviar
Marks and spencer in uk have started selling them!
You know you're rich when you prefer to buy something with the same flavor of something 70 percent cheaper.
how convenient
i saw a gif of finger limes earlier today
