    It was the hit of my Christmas party - not one lick left in the dish! Added horseradish as suggested plus a couple of drops of Tabasco and it was irresistible. Thank you.

    I omitted the lemon juice and added a clove of garlic. Delicious on bagel chips.

    Easy simple and good.. if garnishing with caviar the black ink seems to bleed in Bring out of fridge about 30 mins or so before so it can soften up a tad.
