Pizza and fairy tales

Speyside, Deveron

Tart gooseberry struck the panel first. Followed hard on the heels by vanilla choc ices, pink hubba bubba, elderberry jam, heather ale, hibiscus and prune flavoured toothpaste. A splash of water unearthed rosemary oil, mango flesh, steamed oak staves, damp bung cloth, maraschino cherries and the olfactory hug of a warm pizza oven. To taste we found white raisins and a milky Horlicks with wet earth, mixed herbs and curious notes of body lotion, shea butter and suntan oil. Reduction gave us a tooth cladding syrupy sweetness with star fruits, pink wafers, milk bottle sweets and cinnamon grahams.
