Eating Out In The Country
Saturday, July 24th, 2010What better way to enjoy a warm Summer’s day than by grabbing a blanket and heading out to the countryside for a picnic. Whether you are enjoying a picnic with a loved one, your family or with a group of friends you want to have a picnic hamper that will impress. Getting the right combination of food and drink in your hamper can be tricky and if you want to impress then home made sandwiches might not cut it. Below are a list of a few different ideas for food and drinks you can put in a luxury food hamper of your own.
1. A Quiche - It is important to make sure you have a decent bit of food to eat and quiche is a great accompaniment to most other snacks. There are a great number of different types of quiche out there for you to enjoy. You could have a quche lorraine or something that is a bit more unusual just as long as it is to your taste.
2. A Nice Salad - Salad can be a refreshing and healthy treat for everyone to enjoy. A nice Greek salad can be quite refreshing but if you are a salad dodger then a potato salad might be more up your street.
3. Cheese - Cheese is a tasty yet simple food to take on a picnic. You might want to buy a couple of your favourite cheeses or you may want to get a selection. A selection is a great idea if you have a group of people going and it is a great opportunity for trying something new.
4. Something To Help You Cool Off - There is nothing better than enjoying a nice refreshing drink on a hot Summer’s day. What you choose to have really depends on the situation. If you have children then you will want to make sure that you have some healthy soft drinks that will keep them refreshed throughout the day. If you are getting together with a group of friends then you might want to have a selection of beers although make sure you include some soft drinks for whoever is driving.
5. Something Sweeter - After you’ve stuffed your face with the rest of your picnic then why not finish off with something sweet for dessert. For children you will want to have a selection of different sweets, just make sure you don’t give them too many. If your tastes are more mature then you will want to have some muffins, cookies or perhaps a chocolate torte.
