February, the month of love, is defined by one important day: Valentine’s Day. It is a day for couples and romantic hopefuls to reconnect or get to know each other better. The day is synonymous with teddy bears, chocolates, restaurant outings, candlelit dinners, roses, and love ballads. Valentine’s Day cards with amorous sayings, ranging from the downright cheesy to the uber affectionate will be purchased this year, and there is really no end to the list of things that one can do on Valentine’s Day for their significant other. The day is characterised by grand gestures but, as we all know, the most appreciated displays of love are those that show that thought went into them. That is why this year, a romantic picnic with your loved one is just the thing to make this Valentine’s Day more special than any that have come before.

Source Food has partnered with The Perfect Proposal to create the most scrumptious and convenient picnics, packed with delectable goodies to tantalise every taste bud. The picnics are inspired by food and flavour, and capture the essence of romance. They do not require any preparation time at all; all you have to do is open one, enjoy the delicious treats, and spend some quality time with your significant other. You choose the place, and we will supply you with picnics that will be remembered for many years to come.

There are two options to choose from: the Petit Romance includes a selection of tasty cold meats and cheeses; fresh, crunchy bread; savoury snacks and sweet delights. For the Grande Romance, add a trio of salmon and a delectable sushi selection. Bubbles and roses are an optional extra for those looking to add a little sparkle to the celebration. Vegetarian options are also available.

Food is said to bring people closer and if there is anything that is guaranteed to bring you and your loved one together this Valentine’s Day, it is these picnics. If there ever was a culinary expression of love, these picnics would be it.

The picnics are made-to-order and are available exclusively in Cape Town. Prices include VAT, a picnic box with ribbon, cutlery, serviettes, and two bottles of still water. Vegetarian options are also available at the same prices.
