Toppings for blinis vary hugely, and may be sweet and savoury — caviar, mushrooms, fish, berries, sour cream, condensed milk, honey, jam, and caramelised apples.
Blinis and other pancakes are eaten year round, but become mandatory during Maslenitsa or " Butter Week " , a traditional pagan holiday that marks the end of winter.
So I had this, like, little caviar dish, which was like a blini, but it was, it was shaped like a crab and it was filled with cream and it had this caviar on top.
