Best picnic ideas

[SilveryFlowers]

Away for the weekend and need to prepare a picnic for 6 adults and 2 7 year olds.

I LOVE picnics but tend to do the same old same old. Usually cold chicken, potato salad and homemade ginger cake.

I would LOVE some ideas!!!!!

Home made scotch eggs
Quiches
Rice salads with spices
Chick pea salad with tuna
Cheese pre cut into wedges
Small individual tubs of leafy salad with lots of herbs and either feta, prawns or crayfish tails

Picnic loaf, I usually do meats, pesto, roast peppers etc

Mini sausages
Homemade sausage rolls with cheese/marmite
Quiche
Little bread rolls with eyes for the kids
Fruit salads
Cookies

This time of year you can add edible flowers to the salad to make it look stunning.

Oh my! This thread makes my ham sandwiches, capri suns & crisps sound so rubbish!

I want a picnic loaf!
I love dips so usually take on a picnic a couple of tubs of hummus with cucumber and carrot sticks, mini sausages etc
I'm loving veggie crisps too at the moment and they make a change from the usual although I do find pringles travel well!
Wraps or bagels instead of sandwiches.
Watermelon slices.

We often just take a French stick, block of butter, selection of cheeses, j tubs of pickled onions, gherkins and chutney. Grapes and celery.
Homemade sausage rolls.
Naice crisps
Crudités and dips
Strawberries and a cake/biscuits
And lashings of ginger beer!

The picnic loaf has inspired me greatly!

Oh such delicious ideas here. :)

I ended up doing a picnic life layered with pesto, cheeses, lettuce, marinated peppers etc. It looked amazing and tasted amazing too.:)

I also did my favourite potato salad- very little mayo, but with sliced dill pickle and boiled eggs also. Some marinated chicken drumsticks, homemade sausage rolls etc.

It was absolutely blissful. :) Thanks everyone for the ideas.
