Are you stocked up and ready for the football and basketball season? Do you have a favorite game day tradition or foods that are a must for your sports* fans? We tend to have everyone bring a couple of covered dishes as well as drinks so no one person needs to spend the day cooking and cleaning during the big game. Those interested in the game head into a room set up for them and the rest of us play board games, card games and the children see it as a big party with plenty of their favorite snack foods and numerous cousins to spend the day with.

Corn was first domesticated 9,000 years ago in what is now Mexico. Archaeologists have discovered that people have to know about popcorn for thousands of years. In Mexico, for example, remnants of popcorn have been found that date to around 3600 BC.

The popping of kernels was achieved by hand on the stove* top through the 19th century. Kernels were sold on the East Coast of the United States under names such as Pearls of Nonpareil. The term popped corn* first appeared in John Russell Bartlett’s 1848 Dictionary of Americanisms. Popcorn is an ingredient in Cracker Jacks and in the early years of the product, it was popped by hand. Find out more about the history of popped corn here.

Gourmet Gift Baskets carries a large selection of flavored popped corn tins* and pouches with flavors perfect for even the pickiest of eaters, such as chocolate popcorn, cheese popcorn, and caramel corn just to name a few. And for those die-hard football* fans make sure you check out the Team Popcorn Tins*.

And for those of you with a sweet tooth, you should check out the delectable cheesecake* selection! Perfect for the holidays as a hostess gift and great to keep on hand by storing in the freezer and simply removing the number of slices needed. I really like the cheesecake samplers as this is the perfect way to meet everyone’s favorite flavor needs.

Don’t forget to shop Gourmet Gift Baskets during the holidays, Halloween*, Thanksgiving*, Christmas, and personal anniversaries and birthday gifts for those far away.

I don’t know about your game day traditions but around here we tend to have beer on hand when we gather together to celebrate and have a fun day. And believe it or not, most of us prefer a different type/brand of beer. I prefer a dark ale or lager and mister prefers a light beer, and my in-laws like to try a different beer quite often.

Gourmet Gift Baskets carries Beer Bucket* options for those who’d like to try a different beer from around the world or maybe a little closer to home. At Gourmet Gift Baskets they feel that great beers should know no borders. That is why they’ve sought out delicious brews from around the globe and united them in a fun Around The World Beer Bucket. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a cold one, they’ve brought together beers from many different countries and artfully arranged them in a galvanized steel bucket. And since nothing goes with a tasty brew like a great snack, they’ve added some tasty gourmet foods for you to choose from to pair with your new favorite brew.
