Appreciating French Gourmet Specialty Food Gifts When You Get Them
French food is delicious as we all know and thus can easily be used as gift to give to someone. Instead of running around the malls looking for something special, why not consider a French gourmet specialty food gift? French food and gift may not be an association that people might think of when in need of finding a gift, but if you consider that a gift is the expression of love or friendship from one to another, and that it doesn’t necessarily need to be in the form a an object, then it is easy to consider French gourmet specialty food gift. So what kind of French gourmet specialty food gifts exactly can you give?
One of my all time favorite French gourmet specialty food gift is a chocolate fondue. True, Chocolate fondue is not an object you can give someone to keep and treasure, but as an expression of friendship or love, there isn’t much, in my books, that comes anyway near it! It is more of a serving dish than it is a cooking dish and it is also a piece of French culture right in your living room. French chocolate fondue is simply the process of melting French chocolate into a bowl and then dipping other foods like fruit or cake into the chocolate. French chocolate fondue is traditionally served with very expensive French gourmet chocolate and the whole experience is one filled with sensuality and even intimacy. If you are dating and want to impress your potential mate, you will be hard pressed to find something more suitable to set the mood than a gourmet dish and chocolate fondue may just be your favorite French gourmet specialty food gift.
Say Cheese
Cheese comes in all shapes and form. Some don’t smell much, others have a pungent aroma that can be an acquired taste. This extremely popular French gourmet specialty food gift is the gift of French gourmet cheese. You have read around these pages that the French take their food seriously, but none more than French Kink Louis XIV who actually banned Dutch cheese from being imported into France and so paved the way for the creation of the Mimolette, a semi-hard cheese that has it origins in the traditional Dutch cheese with a French twist. There is also a French cheese called Abondance which is a very popular French gourmet specialty food gift.
And course, who hasn’t heard of the French gourmet specialty food gift called the Amandine almond cookie. The Amandine almond cookies have a very long history that dates back to the 19th century and have become quite a popular gift all over the world. Amandines have been known to be enjoyed by the British at tea time or by a number of cultures all over the world as a buttery sweet cookie that comes from the famous and rich gourmet history of France.
