Encounter the exotic

We went exotic – how about Malaga ice cream (raisins and sweet wine) garnished with salty smoked bacon, or a roasted pear with blue cheese and chocolate sauce, or indeed fresh Thai galangal? The taste was much closer to home with Dundee orange marmalade, a cheddar cheese board with roasted grapes and wafer biscuits. A bit of a shapeshifter with water as on the nose we now have a steaming casserole dish of fennel sausages braised with lemony potatoes and bay leaves, while to taste; honey glazed ham, blackberries in a ginger spiced yoghurt and in the exotic finish, an iced matcha green tea latte.
