Invited to a last minute picnic, what should I take?

[whoopwhoopbib]

I won't have time to make anything from scratch sadly so I will only be able to take food I can buy. It also has to be child friendly but as I'm not yet at the weaning stage with my DD I am unsure what would be suitable.

I was thinking along the lines of rice cakes/crackers, cubes of cheese and some grapes but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'd probably take some little cakes, maybe fondant fancies or that type of thing.

Grapes/Strawberries/Cherry Tomatoes are all good.

Thing with crackers/rice cakes is flavour, you can't really eat them plain unless you buy flavoured ones. I guess something like mini cheddars, or you need to get some dips or cream cheese and things to go on them.

What about things like mini scotch eggs/mini sausage rolls (I buy the quorn ones which are nice).

Or there are big bags of things like dried mango and apricots.

I don't know if the picnic is for adults or children so am struggling a bit.

M&S do a nice line in finger food like mini cooked sausages and sausage rolls. Would be suitable for children or adults.

Ready cut carrot sticks and hummus? Pork pies? Cold still lemonade- the fancy ones?

Child friendly stuff - If toddler then def the rice cakes etc as you said. Plus some plain biscuits eg rich teas and soft fruits.

Also breadsticks and hummus.

Fruit salad
Carrot, celery, tortilla chips, bread sticks and dips

Thank you for all your suggestions I can now go shopping!
