Saturday, July 31st, 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. You will want to make sure that you get the right combination of snacks and drinks for your hamper rather than just some egg sandwiches and tea. 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. Something To Help You Cool Off – One thing that you will definitely need is something to drink especially on a hot day. The sort of drinks you serve will depend on the sort of people you are planning on enjoying your picnic with. 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 with a group or are having a romantic picnic then a couple of bottles of wine will go down a treat.
2. Some Tasty Cheese – Cheese is a tasty yet simple food to take on a picnic. It would be a good idea to get a selection of different cheeses for everyone to enjoy. The great thing about having a selection of different ones is that everyone at your picnic will be able to find something they like.
3. 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.
4. Salad – Salad can be a refreshing and healthy treat for everyone to enjoy. You might want to have a potato salad for any salad dodgers in your group as well as a nice Greek salad with some feta cheese.
5. Something Sweeter – Everyones favourite part of most meals let alone picnics is moving on to having a dessert or something sweet. If you have children at your picnic then a selection of confectionery will go down a treat. For those of you that are a bit older you could choose to pack some cake, yoghurts or even strawberries and cream.
