  • Tagged as: Caracas, EasyJet, Lufthansa, Paris, PaxEx, podcast, Spirit Airlines, Venezuela
The image shows a plate with toasted bread slices, a small pile of black caviar, and finely chopped onions.

There is also a yellow and green wrapped item, possibly a lemon wrapped in a cloth. The setting appears to be a dining table.
