Switzerland--Way Beyond Fondue

It is very possible to spend several days in Switzerland, and not eat any fondue. Here is a sampling of some of the extraordinary dishes I got to try, while visiting Switzerland. Food glorious food.

Yes, this is a cheese dish, and one of the cheeses is soft and runny. It was all divine. 

                          
Scallops.

                             
Gotta love it when the waiter finishes off the caramelizing of top crust of your creme brulee
at the table, with a mini-flame torch.

                                           

Gazpacho and a cube of jellied beet atop puree of carrot.
