We just launched a new product series called “Huntington Village Gourmet Baskets.” I know, I should come up with a sexier name, but being trained as a scientist, I can’t quite get rid of my desire to be accurate and descriptive. :)

Anyway, the idea behind this “Huntington Village Gourmet Baskets” is simple. We want to make a gourmet basket with real meal prepared by local restaurants.

So, here’s our first of this series: Village Gourmet Basket with Soup.

This basket contains a 16-oz cup of soup prepared by a famous mom&pop soup restaurant in Huntington Village. They’ve been making delicious soup for over 40 years! Very good soup, trust me. It comes with a loaf of bread, cheese, and tropical fruits.

There’s a lot of gourmet basket Internet sites. But have you noticed that their baskets don’t really have anything healthy to eat? They just contain crackers, candies, chocolates, and so on. They are not “gourmet” food at all. They are basically a bunch of expensive junk food!

That’s because these companies have to use Fedex to send the basket. They can’t possibly include any real meal. All the ingredients in their baskets must be shippable by Fedex.

Because we hand-deliver each basket, we are not bound by such restriction. So now, first time ever (I’m sure this is the first at least in Long Island) that you have a gourmet basket containing real meal. See left for a picture of yummy Clam Chowder Soup. You see no fancy container here; just a plain old home-made style soup (with popover)!

We plan to expand this product line soon. We will be including home-made sausages, delicious sandwiches, and so on, all made right here in Huntington Village!
