Euro Wide Parcel Exchange

Across Europe bloggers are planning a little foodie exchange. It's such a fun thing to do (and I know there have been Canadian versions) where five or six little food related items are carefully selected and packaged for shipping out to a fellow food blogger.

The anticipation of receiving a parcel in returnis hard to explain - but as you don't know from who yours will be from just adds to the fun and excitment. There are the nerves that yours wont arrive in time or in one piece (such are the vagaries of the postal services) but invariably they do and then the anticipation over what you will be getting in return. Sometimes it is a blogger you read, other times it is someone new. It certainly broadens the on-line community spirit. In the past I have received fresh lemons from a bloggers garden, a delicious cheesecake (tricky sending fresh stuff in the post though), jams, spiced bread and more. Others have sent magazines, ingredients and recipes, homemade jams, speciality chocolates - all sorts in fact.

This is the fifth time a UK blogger has hosted such an exchange. This round sees Cooksister organising the list. She has selected a Summer theme for the goodies. What joys await!
