Marek holds his stick near the glowing coals and watches as his marshmallow browns around the edges. He follows my lead as I wait a little for it to cool and gingerly pull off the outer crust.

He puts the whole thing in his mouth and chews thoughtfully on his first taste of the grilled sugary treat.

'This, I totally get,' he says, happily, reaching for another marshmallow to toast. 'The attraction of chocolate is a bit of a mystery to me,' he continues as I roll my eyes, 'but this is so worth it.'
