Pack the Perfect Spanish Picnic: Food, Wine and Picnic Essentials
Hurry! Before summer slips away, you must plan a delightful outdoor event or two (or more!) with family and friends. And what could be more perfect than a picnic? So we’re kicking off our next exciting series, focusing on picnics inspired by the cuisine and culture of different countries. Guess what’s up first? A Spanish-style picnic with all the luscious flavors and goodies that Spain is famous for! See what we suggest to fill your picnic basket. Then, it’s time to get packing!
Fill Your Picnic Basket with these Specialties of Spain!
Start with a lovely, roomy wood basket with liner (1), and be prepared for handy outdoor serving with a bamboo cheeseboard-and-knives set (2).
Then pack in these delicious, must-have food products—from cheese to cured meats to sardines to turrones (nougat) to gourmet truffle potato chips to rosé wine—that promise flavors of Spain in every bite and sip!
Oh, and how fun would it be to have everyone play a picnic game of Spanish Scrabble (10). After enjoying such superb treats from Spain, you just may find yourselves fluent enough to piece together some winning words!
