Top Tips For Food To Eat Outside
August 11, 2010 – 2:14 pmOn a warm Summers day there is nothing better than some good food and drink to enjoy on 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 luxury food 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. 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. 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.
Schott’s Food and Drink Miscellany
From the mind that brought you Schott’s Original Miscellany comes a collection of vital irrelevance and uncommon knowledge surrounding the worlds of food and drink. Schott’s Food And Drink Miscellany is a snapper up of unconsidered trifles (in both senses of the word) – from food history to cooking terms; cocktail recipes to dining etiquette; grace before meals to after-dinner toasts. What other book can tell you the accepted procedure when drinking from a Loving Cup; which potatoes are best for mashing; how to fold your napkins into a variety of pleasing shapes; the correct technique for lighting a cigar,…
3. Your Choice Of 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. The great thing about having a selection of different ones is that everyone at your picnic will be able to find something they like.
4. Refreshing Drinks – 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. Those of you that are planning on spending the day with the family would want to have a selection of different drinks to suit both young and old. If you are with a group or are having a romantic picnic then a couple of bottles of wine will go down a treat.
5. Sweet Sweets – After you’ve stuffed your face with the rest of your picnic then why not finish off with something sweet for dessert. 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.
