Picnic food ideas

[GabrieleJ]

We're going on a picnic tomorrow. What should i make??? I'm going to make some of Delia's sausage rolls, coleslaw... No inspiration today any help please.

some biscuit / cookie things?

Will do thanks The other thing is we have a three year old daughter and i don't want her to eat just sweet things... She's not fussy. Usually i'm good with things like that just bit crap today with everything i think

could your dd make her own pizza to take along? The old face made out of toppings trick? ↲Cut up sticks of things to dip in tubs of other things? Fruit and skewers for make your own fruit kebabs/lollypops? that's it off top of me head! Hope you have sunshine!

Quiche?
Hummous and veg sticks
cherry toms to snack on
couscous/rice/pasta salad?

My fav picnic item is this...

Make some bread dough as normal. After it has risen, roll it out to a rough rectangle shape. Spread sun dried tomato paste over the middle, then layer ham, mozzarella cheese and boiled eggs. Throw in some basil and give it all a sprinkle of salt & pepper. Then bring one side of dough over, and then bring the other side over and seal it together (sort of like a big pasty!).

Let it sit for a short while then bake it as normal.

Honest to god it is gorgeous.

I usually slice it and then wrap it in foil to keep it slightly warm. The you can give it out in slices. MMmmmmmm

Thank you so much to everyone

I love picnics. My kids just want to eat and run (or play) though, so they're happy with a cob and some crisps. I'd have a frittata, personally.

Pain bagnat or some other kind of stuffed loaf is nice & better done in advance

Personally it'd be marmite & tomato sarnies for me, especially when they've been left to fester a bit in the boot of the car

Don't make your life overly complicated.

Just make some sandwiches, with everyone's favourite fillings, and whatever bread you usually use, and some crisps, biscuits and drink and fruit.

I'm making wraps filled with cream cheese, red peppers, olives, tomatoes and left over roast chicken (the cream cheese just sticks it all together). Then I am taking the fig rolls and crsips and bananas that are in the cupboard.

Jet I grew up in a very hot part of the world and when we went for dessert trecks my mum would make tomato and cheese baguettes and by the time we got round to eating them they would be all warm and soggy and the cheese would be soft and it was heavenly. I have still not got used to cold sandwiches served in this country!

Sounds lush omdb
