We have come a long way in over two hundred years of history. Our country has invented many foods, cheeseburgers, fried chicken, buffalo chicken wings, the rueben, even chinese food and pizza were revolutionized in America. Yet there is one food out there that truly says what it is to be American. The Hickory Farms gift basket!

Hickory Farms comes in many different forms. We are not going to mention the fruit baskets. Every company makes its mistakes, and we can only hope someday Hickory Farms will wake up and drop them from their line. But who are we to judge, what a man wants to eat in the privacy of his home is no one else's business but his and his life partners.

The Hickory Farms we are talking about, the Hickory Farms that has become a part of America, is the Sausage and Cheese Gift Set. The Hickory Farms Sausage and Cheese Gift Set, comes in many different shapes and sizes. It can be a box or a basket, and comes in over 38 different combinations or you can create your own. With so many sausage and cheese options, there has never been a product invented that has been more of a testimony to the American value of diversity.

But out of all of these many options, out of all the many meats and cheeses that were good enough to make it into a Hickory Farms gift set, there is one that stands above all else. And that is none other than the Summer Sausage. Summer Sausage has been a staple in the Hickory Farms gift sets since the beginning, and is truly an iconic food. The mere sight of unwrapping one on Christmas morning is enough to make a grown man swoon. Not only is it delicious, but it is packed with enough preservatives to last until at least mid July.

Some nay sayers out there may pooh pooh the unhealthiness of a gift basket filled with ten unrefrigerated sausages and cheeses. But the Hickory Farms gift basket is a welcome refresher in today's overly health conscious society. Be that as it may Hickory Farms is always the one to please customers. One should note on the back of its mustard there is a mailing address for those that wish to know the ingredients. Simply send out a written request and in two to three weeks you will find out what you just ate.

To think there are so many still out there that have not tried Hickory Farms, that have never had its delicious cheese logs in their mouths, or strawberry candies. As loyal Hickory Farms customers we must all work together, to spread its beefy flavor across the globe, one gift basket at a time.
