Caviar bumps have now gained popularity in Europe too, but would we see caviar appear in desserts here as well? That seemed uncertain, until we discovered a similar dessert at restaurant R21 in Amsterdam. Their creation, a combination of Asetra caviar with crème fraîche ice cream and feuilletine, sounds absolutely delicious!

To mark the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam, Heineken has unveiled a specially brewed beer: Heineken® Studio Mokum750.
