What 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. With that in mind here are some ideas for putting together a luxury food hamper.
1. Something To Help You Cool Off – If you are planning your picnic on a hot day then you are going to need something to drink. Your choice of drink is likely to depend on who you are with and what you are doing. 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 your boyfriend or girlfriend then you might want to enjoy a bottle of wine together instead.
2. Your Choice Of 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. A selection is a great idea if you have a group of people going and it is a great opportunity for trying something new.
3. 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. You will find a selection of different quiches available from traditional quiche lorraine to the more extravagant, which means you’ll be able to find something to suit your pallet.
4. 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.
5. Just Desserts – 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. For those of you that are a bit older you could choose to pack some cake, yoghurts or even strawberries and cream.
