Seattle revisited: Memories of simple flavors...


maybe it was the wal(not) so pesto that reminded me of travels and tastes of seattle, actually i'm certain of it. 
Simple flavors tend to be the best of flavors, why attempt over the top sensational  too creative something new no ones seen before, when sardines need nothing more than walnuts, parsley and lemon.  The Walrus and the Carpentar, knows this very well, every plate brought to us was perfect.  Right down to the warm dates in sea salt and rich olive oil.  When people seem to be trying to so hard to be the next big thing, to reinvent the classics, when the classics are so good to start with.  Walnuts and parsley are so good together, they may be the Calvin Klein and Chanel of food.  Simple, clean flavors.
