  • Paté Paysan: Les Trois Petits Cochons (The Three Little Pigs) have created a perfect combination of chicken, pork, parsley, garlic and spices. "Paysan" connotes a person of the country, reflecting this paté traditional and rustic roots. (6.5 oz.)
  • Malagon with Rosemary: This rosemary encrusted sheep's milk cheese from Spain pairs well with almost any meat. (8 oz.)
  • Beemster Classic Extra Aged Gouda: This 18-month Dutch masterpiece has been enjoyed in Holland for over 800 years. (8 oz.)
  • Grafton Village Maple Smoked Cheddar: Bathed in cool smoke from smoldering hard maple wood, it develops a sweet, smoky flavor. (8 oz.)

Substitutions not of equal quality
By Retired Home Cook from Bakersfield, CA on 1/6/2008
Pros:
Arrived on time
Cons:
Cooling inadequate, Items lost flavor, Substitutions poor
Best Uses:
Snack, When cooking delayed
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Diner, Health Conscious, UCLA MBA
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Most of the meats were of high fat content. The lack of adequate cooling packets in shipment led to "slight greaseness" of meats and cheeses. Wife now disabled so I have taken up cooking again. I am not as fast as her in preparing her holiday dishes, so meats and cheeses were purchased for guests waiting to eat. Idea was great, and some items were a hit. Best looking items had lesser quality substitutes. I noted them on the printout of the gift basket list, but was unable to locate it in preparation of this review. I will purchase snack items locally next time.
