Stratford picnic tradition helped
by The Cheese House
We can quite confidently say, that the
diningroom we chose this month is
unequalled in its atmosphere. It's certainly
spacious and it's colourful. It's relaxing
and it's well airconditioned.
The praiseworthy diningroom is not a
room at all. but the beautiful parkland
running along Lake Victoria below the
Festival Theatre in Stratford.
What about the food? Well with the
heavy air of a late -May heat wave upon us
we decided to try what has become almost
a traditional Stratford event in the.
summer: a picnic supplied by the Cheese
House.
Stratford visitors have for many years
made a point of going out to the Cheese
House on Erie Street to get essentials for a
picnic lunch. In recent years the Cheese
House has aided this trend by packing
special picnic lunches. We decided to get
'the top of the line picnic box: the gourmet
picnic box for two. Don't expect to just
walk in and pick one up. They need three
hours advance notice in order to get
everything prepared.
It's also not super cheap at $10 but you
can get sandwiches for a lunch if you're not
in the mood tor so big an expense. The
wide variety of cheese and meats at the
counter in the Cheese House will make you
want to pick up something extra anyway.
The picnic lunch comes in a specially
designed. multi -sided box. Inside you'll
find a cornish hen, glazed with cranberries
and cut in half for easy dining. The bird is
stuffed v: ith an orange dressing. There's a
plate of salad greens with a cup of salad
dressing. Another large plate contains the
almond -rice salad garnished with orange
pieces. It makes a tastey cool, finger-lickin'
meal (not to worry a table cloth, paper
plates and plastic knives and forks are
included if you've got something against
using your fingers.)
There's a dessert for you too and if you
want to stay away from things too sweet, it
will be a delight. There's a fresh fruit plate
and a pastry. And of course, as you'd
expect from the Cheese House, there's a
cheese plate with five different cheeses
and biscuits. It makes an ample meal.
To go along with the package and wet
your whistle there's a bottle of imported
Spanish grape juice. about as close to wine
as you can legally get. for in the Park

dining. Of course the Stratford lakeside
diningroom often seems to have more than
a few wine bottles on view too so perhaps
you'd like to chance the real thing
somewhere else.
The picnic tradition at Stratford will
likely be even more of a tradition with this
picnic box idea from The Cheese House.
