 Food & Spirits: Don't worry. We think fruit baskets are a bad idea too. What it is about a basket full of oranges and apples that anyone thought would make a good gift? As if we couldn't load up on produce at the local grocery store ourselves and arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing collage in a hand-woven basket. But what about gourmet cheeses? Igourmet.com specializes in imported gourmet food, including specialty cheese-over 600 to be exact-from England, France, Italy, Holland, Spain, Sweden and pretty much every other cheese producing nation in the European Union, not to mention caviar, paté, escargot, smoked salmon, extra virgin olive oil, chutney, fresh fruit preserves, aromatic teas and coffees, marinades, vegetable spreads, and handmade pastas and sauces.
So, you'll not only save face by not giving the gift of ordinary fruit, you might even find something your own family will enjoy-like cheesecake or chocolate. We hear they go over better than apples that have been sitting in a warehouse for a week. But you don't have to take our word for it-just don't be surprised when your friends and family mysteriously stop returning your phone calls.
