help?! Picnic stuff...

[Sparkles33]

Meeting a friend tomorrow and we're gonna have a picnic instead of going to a restaurant for lunch. Enjoy the weather and all that.

Now I nearly always go OTT with stuff, so a picnic for 4 people....what would you take? I have no idea other than sarnies, strawberries and tiny doughnuts....

 

[Keith W]

Salad bits and bobs, fruit, savoury stuff and liquid refreshments

 

[Haighy]

Pasties, pies, crisps, dips?

 

[Splog]

Beer

 

[Sparkles33]

Beer

that's my kinda picnic

 

[Digikat]

Quiche is good for picnics...

 

[towershot]

Hot water in flasks for tea or coffee, bottles of still water to drink.

 

[Marc]

Spanish omelette, cooked in advance (obviously) and cut into slices, pizza style. Delicious!

 

[cambsno]

Best bet is to pop to an M&S and get a selection of stuff - sandwiches, scotch eggs etc...

 

[ladysue]

Crusty bread ( buttered), pieces of cheese,baby tomatoes, crisps and a dip, flapjacks, cider.

 

[david1701]

vino crisps, crusty bread, cake

 

[Paulie-W]

Du pain, du vin et du boursin







Watch out for that harvester though

 

[Nod]

For an M&S raid. A selection of their salad tubs, maybe a bag of leaves, some sliced meat and/or fish, a couple of chunks of cheese, some bread/rolls, puddings. Don't forget drinks, brollies and something dry to sit on. If you can, set up your spot within a fairly easy walk of a coffee place and send someone for fresh rather than drinking lukewarm from a flask.

 

[2blue4u]

A crate of DAB gold top, a bottle opener and a carrier bag to take away the bottle tops.

Simples!

 

[C.J]

All this food talk has made me hungry.

 

[Yardbent]

chilled champagne of course ...!

 

[Jim.R]

some sliced meat

Chorizo, Salami, Parma Ham

Grapes to go with the cheese.
Pork pie & mustard.
For something a bit different, take some samosas, pakoras or chicken satays.

At this rate, you're going to need a shipping container rather than a basket to fit it all in

Did anyone mention wine? Every good picnic needs plenty of wine.

Thank everyone.

We had ham and pease pudding mini stotties, pasta salad, leafy chicken salad, mini doughnuts, cocktail sausages, strawberries, clubs, cloudy lemonade, caramel nibbles...I think that was all but we had loads left lol yummy.
