Sweet biscuit regatta

The nose drifted like a sea breeze through pineapple yoghurt, mango lassi and heather-infused cream, brushing past brambles, blueberries and violets on the machair. The palate set sail on waves of liquorice and sherbet, the voyage brightened by marshmallow meringue and lime cordial zest. Adding water, melted butter and samphire mingled with salty crushed shells and driftwood, while chewy liquorice sweets and white icing on wormwood charted a course through coastal sweetness. The finish anchored us among sweet scallops and fruity jelly sweets, watching marzipan launch the rich tea biscuit lugger with a smashed bottle of orange liqueur.
