Ideas for picnic food

[MiaWallace]

Going to an adventure park tomorrow, where no doubt the food will be overpriced.

Thinking of taking a picnic instead.

Bearing in mind that I'm trying to lose weight, anyone got some good suggestions what to take?

(I'm so unimaginative when it comes to food )

the easiest thing to to is make sandwiches and take some fruit and cartons of juice

maybe a salad in a tupperware with a fork?

cous cous & roasted veg
pesto pasta & pine nuts
avocado mozzerella & sun blush tomatoes
cold roast chicken
nice ham
nice cheese
good bread
fruit salad

nic eham?
rofl

lullabyloo, OP is going to an adventure park, not Glyndebourne

yum and some nice champagne to wash it down - sounds lovely. Would just add olives for nibbles and maybe some salami.

can I say again, adventure park

As it's an adventure park and not a posh picnic you are after:

Sarnies for kids - grated carrot and cream cheese
some fruit
maybe some mini babybells and cherry toms and carrot sticks?
packet of biscuits to share out between them or a packet of crisps.
bottle of water each

for you
a salad and ryvittas in a plastic tub?

losing weight picnic -
green salad in tupperware (loads of chopped up veggies)
brown rice or pasta sald with tuna etc
baby tomatoes
pot of hummous

mrsB....normal picnic food?????
No??????

normal for a picnic that is the event with baskets and rugs etc, yes
not for dragging round Thorpe Park in a rucksack and scoffing perched on a bench somewhere

I have a good line in event picnic food (v like your list ) for Henley etc, but there are times when you do just want to refuel and carry on with the minimum of stuff to carry.

the cous cous might get thrown about a bit on the roller coaster

Some good ideas ladies.

I might even treat myself to some of the 'posher' stuff.

We had a picnic today. Lovely sunny day.

Cheese, ham rolls
walkers sensations crisps and a dip
apples, satsumas,
mini sausages
lemon drizzle cake (from m+S not the MN speciality)

juice cartons

I wish I had a flask but it was in dh van.

I'm hungry..

get some strawberries if you can,they always go down well.If you get the kids to eat loads of fruit first,you don't feel so bad if they pig out on icecreams!
