I think that a bowl of strawberries is a perfect dessert, and that sometimes we are so busy looking for something complicated that we forget the true beauty of the ingredients themselves. It is great we are reminded that a strawberry is sweet and taste the sun that has nurtured it. I personally would NEVER pay 37 dollars for 4 scallops, but I do like the simplicity of the dish, and would remind myself that at home I can prepare something so simple, pure and delicious. I am a little bit of the Alice Waters school of thought. But I also like to experience something that has taken an artist to create, and could not be duplicated. But I still would not pay 37 dollars for 4 scallops, even if they were "fussy food".
