ideas forponcey food hamper

[jooseyfruit]

want to put together a hamper for dh.
he loves food and cooking, but due to being very skint all year, our cupboards are full of tesco value stuff!.

have so far bought him some belazu olive oil and gentlemens relish.

have been saving up and have 50 quid-ish.

any ideas?

does he like olives? you can them in a nice jar of something
nice chutnys, jam, marmalade
bottle of champers
smoked salmon
cavier

have a look in Waitrose maybe

for poncey hamper

bottle of champers -good

hates olives.

i'm not sure if there is a waitrose near york.

do you want foods that are ready to eat, or ingredients for him to use in cooking?

bit of both really.

That Dulche du leche stuff (caramel) Its in with the ice cream tpooings and stuff

Don't think I have even remotely spelled it right

Artichoke hearts (jarred ones)
Nice bread sticks
um....

posh christmas pud, some nice mince pies, posh chocolate, crackers for cheese, nice coffee or tea.

I would get some
Saffron
Selection of nice spices

sainsbury's have those 'posh food' end-of-aisle sections which are full of interesting goodies

nice set of oils- you can usually buy a set with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil etc, marmalade or jam

ooh..ooh some duchy of cornwall crackers.
he gazes longingly at those!
am getting some nice ideas ladies!

nice oils- you can usually buy a set with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil etc, how about some nice marmalade or jam, pate.

Belazu Balsamic - it is in another league to all others!

yum

thank you!!

oh, and dont forget posh chocolates. have a few sites if you would like links

Posh sundried tomatoes

fancy beers - just for a bit of a difference - we're doing one for FIL with fancy beers and nibbles.

Lidl and Aldi both have plenty of stuff you could file under poncey, so it doesn't have to be pricey. Their chocolate is particularly good & they do lots of nice deli stuff.

yep, i get the aldi 'mosher roth' dark chocolate and it is very nice.

just been and bought him Marmite with champagne . but he loves it. and some posh braaahn sauce!!

thanks again

tin of foie gras (if he doesn't have ethical objections)

real good bottle of red wine or some Belgian beer (made by one of the speciality brewers)

some really good quality stilton, rocquefort or truckle of organic/traditionally made cheddar ....

foie gras is a great idea, cheers.

Truffle Oil
Expensive French Sea Salt (very thick, grey grains)
Saffron
