What kind of food for a picnic, please help?
My boyfriend and I are going to the park with his new puppy, buddy , that's the dogs name, anyways what are good food to take on a picnic?
Answers:
Well you need puppy proof food so don't lay out the food on a picnic cloth on the ground.
I recommend already fried chicken. Its always great cold.
Biscuits are always great with chicken.
Watermelon is a great dessert too for picnics.
And dont forget a good pasta salad:
Small dice some celery onions and tomatoes and bell peppers. Use some bow tie or rotini pasta that you already cooked. Add Italian dressing and your good to go.
If u like it a lil more Zesty add some lime or lemon juice (not much roughly a tablespoon) a touch of sugar (maybe a tablespoon) and some garlic a clove or two.
I like to actually grate garlic on the small grater side so its more of a mush when its done being grated. This allows it to be incorporated with the salad evenly.
chicken sandwiches
quiche
muffins
A hot chicken, salad and bread. The best picnic ever!
Sandwiches, fried bee hoon / noodles, snacks
sandwiches are good to bring, like a big one from Togos or subway.
I have always loved a good picinic and am glad to see others still do. I have always felt good about fired chicken, corn on the cob, some kind of salad or two, and rolls or biscuits. However sandwiches, chips and soup from a thermos is a classic. Eat what you like and have fun on your picinic. Don't forget the ice tea, lemonade, apple pie or spice cake.
Make a batch of pasta salad...you can eat it for lunch or as a side dish. Boil tri-colored rotini according to package directions. Rinse in cold water. Meanwhile, coarsely chop a small onion, a small green pepper, a small red or yellow pepper, a small cucumber, and a stick of pepperoni (from the deli). Halve a pint of cherry tomatoes. Toss this all into the pasta and crumble some fontinella cheese in there. You can either toss it all with some store-bought italian dressing, or make your own from olive oil and balsamic vinegar. If you're using olive oil & vinegar, sprinkle the salad with salt, pepper, and some oregano or thyme. I also like to sprinkle some parmesan on it. It's YUMMY. If you like shredded carrots and black olives, you can add those too. Leftovers can always be had for lunch.
Cold roasted chicken, french bread, cheese, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, good mustard, fresh strawberries and some Pelligrino.
salty biscuits,cocktail cheese grille rs,cheese(individually wrapped) cold meat eg chicken or ham, small tomato's, boiled eggs, small buns and a spread, provitas with tuna to spread and wine.
Cold fried chicken,potato salad,deviled eggs ,melon and iced tea.
Take some puppy treats for the puppy and have lots of fun.
FINGER FOODS, CHIPS,DIP, WATER BOTTLES,
ham sandwich chips pickle muffins ice cream
peanut butter and jelly sandwich!duh!
A good cheese and fruits, with a bottle of wine, this will be fine and romantic.
i have to agree with everyone else on the sandwiches, finger food or ckn, but to really impress your bf, bring some treats for "buddy" , after all it is a picnic for everyone, right?
plus your bf will adore you for thinking of the dog
not sandwiches anything but sandwiches
Sandwiches are good and fruit. Veggies with dips, chips, fruit juice, cookies or cupcakes, pasta salad. I particulary like strawberries and grapes
I'd say...cold cuts on nice calabrese bread, some red wine or lemonade. Fresh fruit is nice too and don't forget those treats and fresh water for Buddy!
Hear are some ideas:
1. fried chicken, potato salad or cole slaw
2. sub sandwiches, chips, pickles
3. cheese and fruit, lemonade
Don't forget to bring a treat for Buddy, he needs to munch
too!
cold cut sandwiches, fried chicken, potato salad, deviled eggs, wine, cheese, grapes,straberries, and crackers....
You can't go wrong with sandwiches and fruit/veggies. Maybe some potato salad .
If you are looking for hot food, chicken is always good with maybe mac and cheese with rolls. Maybe some strawberries and champagne.
Oh Yum! I love picnics!!! Lucky you!!!
I remember as a child, my mom would pack up fried chicken(nice & crisp & juicy). We had homemade potato salad or coleslaw, bread & butter pickles, a fresh jug of sweet iced tea, some chips and a fresh apple or cherry pie or summers first watermelon. Course we could never eat it all, but it sure was good.
She also packed some bread or cheese balls to feed to the ducks, squirrels & fish. So much fun on a lazy day at the lake or park.
Sometimes on school on picnics, we all brought a sack lunch & it was just as much fun eating outside in the spring.
Building good memories is nice. Enjoy!!!
