The Four Flavours Of Delightful Devon

The delights of vacationing and eating have shared attributes both tempt the senses

. In many ways, the variety of tastes and flavours on offer when you sample wonderful cuisine reflect the diversity of stunning sights and rich landscapes that you can sample in the English countryside. The Devonshire South Coast, the Moorlands, the North Coast, and Exeter offer a veritable buffet to satiate the diet of even the most demanding bucolic traveller.

Sweet - The South Coast

Devonshire tea is one name for traditional English scones, topped with ripe jam and sweet mounds of cream. A stay in any of the southern holiday cottages in Devon provides you with a chance not only to sample this delicacy, but also taste with your eyes the sweet sight of cute little fishing villages dotting the green coast like sugar on a bun. As red as the jam, the sandstone cliffs combine with the briny bays to make this coastland idyllic, sweet and tempting as you gaze on the floral wonderland and smell the vigorous sea breeze.

Bitter - The Moorlands

Bitterness is often synonymous with rancour, but when it refers to the sharp tang of dark chocolate or the balanced bite a bitter flavour adds when mixed with something sweet, it is a fierce pleasure. Likewise, the bleak and lonely moors around some holiday cottages in Devon can appear brooding and harsh, but as you wander the granite hilltops, traverse the rushing rivers and trudge past the mysterious bogs, the bitter taste of Dartmoor or Exmoor becomes vital, exhilarating and invigorating. Amongst the desolate menhir stones and secretive wildlife of this unique habitat, you will appreciate how well this rough landscape mixes with the pretty sweetness of the countys greener vales.

Salty - The North Coast

Many holiday cottages in Devon give holidaymakers the chance to stretch their lungs and draw in the salty, briny sea breeze of the north coast. Just as salt is the essential spice, touching the palate with an immediate amplification of taste to sting the taste buds with pleasure, upon your arrival at the rugged cliffs, imposing bays, long sandy dunes and crashing waves of the north coast you will be immediately stung by their raw, potent beauty. Assigned as an Area of Outstanding Beauty in England, a trip to the stunning north coast is a prick of salt to the calming stew of the surrounding landscapes.

Umami Exeter

Umami, while a less well-known acquisition from Japanese to the flavour lexicon, is considered one of the five basic flavours along with saltiness, bitterness, sweetness and sourness. It translates to a pleasant savoury taste. Small yet vibrant, quaint yet entrepreneurial, historic yet modern, the primary city in this county, Exeter is a landmark of umami for the traveller. If you should stay in one of the nearby holiday cottages in Devon, a trip to this charming little city with its Roman antecedents, modern accompaniments and peaceful streets is one to be savoured.
