Adult picnic food.

[RosieLemonade]

Fancy an adult picnic to use my new picnic basket. I’ve not been on a child free picnic in years!! What should I pack that’s indulgent.

Penis pasta ?

I'd go with nice snacks bits
Posh cookies
Nice crisps
French bread
Good cheese
Grapes and other fresh fruit
Prosecco
Crackers and hummus
Scones? Cake?
Rollitos

Basically anything that looks good in the supermarket!!

smoked salmon quiche
proper homemade scones

Go to M&S food shop. Buy finger food that takes your fancy. Done!

Penis pasta ?

My faves are:
Pork pie
Nice ham- iberico belotta if I can get it, Parma if not.
Selection of cheeses
Little quiches
Salads- potato and green
Fresh crusty bread
Wine/Prosecco
Fruit salad
Scones

I’d do Greek theme with posh olives, spanakopita, houmous, pitta breads, tabbouleh, Greek salad, tsatziki, dolmades, grilled aubergines, gigantes beans etc etc etc...

Soft cheese, crusty bread, bit of fruit, jar of those grilled peppers in oil, nice olives, posh lemonade, coffee.

Baguette and butter or pâté
Pork pie but nice ones from butcher
Artichokes
Cheeses
Homemade quiche
Salads
Champagne
Homemade chocolate eclairs (kept cool)

I forgot just crusty bread

Strawberries
Wine
Pasta salads
Higgidy pies

Oh yes definitely pate and crusty bread
Sun dried tomatoes and selection of sliced meats - mortadella maybe

I really fancy some tasty adult picnic food now

Keep it simple.

At Uni we had French stick, Brie, green apples and Asti.

Hard to beat. Add some grapes, cherry plum toms and olives if you fancy posh.

I made these lovely salad jars when my adult stepsons and partners came for a picnic a couple of weeks ago. They stay nice and crunchy as the dressing is on the bottom then you just pour them out onto a plate. Plus we had crusty bread, olives, tabbouleh, nice cheese (Camembert when it's warm tastes so much nicer!) and a summer cake, plus a good couple of cool bags, we took lots of cold bubbly.

Damn, I fancy cheese now and I'm on the 16/8

I can do the cheese and artichokes atm but not the carby stuff. Does sound nice in theory though.

I want brie

Just anything you enjoy, and particularly anything you otherwise don't get to eat due to fussy children/husband or because they gorge themselves on all your favourites before you get a look in stares hard at DD1 . Personally I tend to head to the nearest Waitrose or M&S to pick some nice stuff someone else has gone to the trouble of making Before DCs I would make everything from scratch, but those days are now long gone.

For me, good crusty bread, strong gooey cheese, crisps, olives, marinated squid rings, and a dip are a good combination plus anything unusual that catches my eye.

Some Boursin

Thats a brilliant idea, I'd add some skordalia to that list and probably knock someone out with my breath afterwards.

We do tapas picnics on occasion, very easy to get all the bits from Waitrose and I found a lovely tortilla recipe.

All sounds lovely ! I’d add in proper cutlery/plates/glasses/condiments - makes all the difference if you can transport them safely (perhaps your basket has them included and strapped in ?)

Go to a nice deli and a nice bakery instead of the supermarket. 2-3 nice cheeses, same of meats, pate, maybe nice baby quiches or sausage rolls, fresh berries, home made cake/cookies, bottle of white wine (for me, a Sauvignon Blanc) in a chiller.

Dh is off on Monday, might suggest a picnic!

@sqirrelfriends it’s basically what we had for tea. It’s warm and sunny here so I didn’t really feel like cooking much. I opened a lot of tins of really nice things! I was thinking how nice it would have been as a picnic. Skordalia is an excellent addition.
