Dry hay on a scorching summer’s day

The first impression on the neat nose related to the colour – yellow, banana, pineapple and dry hay on a scorching hot summer’s day. We also got ricotta, fig and sesame bagels, and strawberry jam. On the palate, there was a peppery spiciness next to the tartness of a granny smith apple before we enjoyed a piece of apple strudel with a pinch of nutmeg. Following reduction one Panellist imagined cycling in a desert without mouth protection, while others got spiced vanilla and a hint of mint. To taste, green pepper sautéed with chipotle was served with tortillas filled with Mexican rice.
