My response to this would be "Aww diddums!" and serve the strawberreis in
whatever size they come to me in. I'm not going to wade through several
punnets of expensive strawberries to serve only the smallest.
IMHO this person is being far too picky about what may ruin the 'feel' of a
feast Isn't a strawberry a strawberry enough? or has the task of
documenting strawberries become a whole lot more difficult, tracing species
and variety back to to whenever. To me...thats a task for a gardener, not
a cook.
Just my 2 cents worth
