Clue Chain 3

[Hazlinny]

Miser has kindly asked me to start Chain 3 so here goes ...

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.

My clue:  Lightly touch a seabird would indicate a design. (7)

Gar is a fish = GAR

tongue = lick, sounds like LIC

garlic is a spice (but some folk regard it as a herb, some as a vegetable, hence my enormous hint)

Was thinking tongue as a noun!

In E.Kent find the Aries sign, go south and on through the entrance.  8
