Soaking up the warming perfume of a bowl of hot custard, we nosed orange and huckleberry taffy, vanilla ice cream and amber ale. To taste, huckleberry was sure to take the lead before we were gifted a mixed berry jam, lavender blossom honey, toasted fennel seeds and mint.
Water gave us aromas of Sicilian lemon meringue pie before, kitted out in our in new cotton clothes and holding a glass of white wine, we perused a flower shop's wares. The palate was now much like the nose; soft, with an apple purée and guava paired with neapolitan ice cream.
