Forman & Field in the press – What Foodies want for Christmas
Caroline Boucher of the The Observer’s latest feature on Christmas gifts chosen by the great and the good of the the food scene is a good source of inspiration if you’re stuck for what to buy this year. It also shows that when it comes to the ultimate gourmet gifts (or gifts for the ultimate gourmets?), we have everything covered!
Stichelton cheese: Chosen by Michel Roux Snr, chef
“I would like an unpasteurised Stilton. They have a much creamier taste.”
Find a wedge of the creamiest Stichelton in our Speciality Cheese Selection.
Trealy Farm charcuterie: Patrick Holden, food campaigner
“Charcuterie from Trealy Farm’s range of salamis and air-dried hams made from their traditional breeds of pigs. And organic apple juice from Ragmans Lane Farm.”
Trealy’s Monmouthshire Air Dried Ham is our favourite too, as good as any prosciutto.
Formans smoked salmon: Giorgio Locatelli, restaurateur
“Formans salmon is wild and only slightly smoked – the deepness of the flavour is great. In Italy you have smoked salmon for Christmas. It’s my father’s favourite, which makes it a must every year!”
Did we mention we Smoked Salmon? Just as we have done for 105 years!
Neal’s Yard cheeses: Adam Byatt, chef
“I would plan to enjoy these on Boxing Day, but would no doubt crack the box open at about 8pm on Christmas Day itself!”
All our cheeses come from Neal’s Yard Dairy, they are undoubtedly the best maturers in the country.
Bespoke tea: Annie Bell, food writer
“I can never find my perfect breakfast tea, so I would love to be given a bespoke tea blend from the Tea Palace. You describe your dream tea and their blenders design a brew to suit. They came up with a fantastic blend for me – Annie’s Dream Cuppa – a blend of Assam Harmutty and Ceylon Rilagala, with Castleton Second Flush Darjeeling.”
Find a tin of superlative Tea Palace Earl Grey in our refined Afternoon Team Hamper.
