H
oliday gift season can be
stressful for many, as the
idea of finding the perfect gift
for friends, family, co-workers,
and even the friendly neigh-
borhood mail deliverer can be a
trying task. Food gifts are more
thoughtful, and certainly more
decadent, than the standard gift
card or pair of holiday socks. Most
importantly, food is something
that brings people together, no
matter what their tastes may
be. There is undoubtedly a food
gift for everyone on the holiday
gift list, from cookies, fudge, and
flavored syrups, to sea salt, artisan
s'mores, and even robust simmer
sauce with grits. As the saying
goes, there is no sincerer love
than the love of food. Here are
some notable food gifts available
this holiday season.
