Probably at some relatives house on Thanksgiving or Christmas, sliced up on a platter of smoked cheeses, table water crackers, grapes and those meltaway mints. Now, as a "grown-up" Hickory Farms is one of my holiday entertaining staples. With a wide variety of gift packs to choose from, including just buying a … [Read more...]
