Gourmet food
A gift basket can benefit greatly from the addition of gourmet food.
The word gourmet was originally a term given to someone with a sensitive
or discriminating palate, but it has come to encompass all food/beverage
items with upstanding quality – especially fancy meats, cheeses
or fruits.
Some of the most well-known gourmet foods are:
• Brie (cheese)
• Calabrese Hot Salami
• Pomegranates
• Foie Gras
Gift baskets are often very boring; often filled with common food found
at the grocery store. But who wants a basket of groceries for a gift?
Visiting exotic markets and perusing their gourmet food selection can
be very eye-opening and provide some excellent ideas for gift baskets.
