We're off on a jolly to the park tomorrow.

What yummy things would you pack in a picnic?

I'm pretty sure cocktail sausages are standard issue picnic grub

Pasties, pies, scotched eggs, sandwiches. Dips, crips, drinks, pâté, bread.

Those sort of things, oh and cut and come again cake.

Sausage rolls. Strawberries.
All in a cool box.

Strawberries and some bubbly is a must.

Not sure on all the pastry food, was thinking more fresh stuff such as salads, cold meats, olives, nibbles etc.

Only 2 of us so won't be going over board.

Hard boiled eggs and a twist of salt and white pepper

Cold meats, olives, sundried tomatoes, mozerella, fresh baked focaccia, rocket

Pate · 23 Mar 2012 at 13:40

Salami, fresh bread and beer*

Wine or champagne if the situation or lady dictates.

haha I did all that planning, all that cooking, all that chopping. Left most of it in the fridge when we went for the picnic.

Carrot sticks, sweet chilli homous, mint and green pea houmous, strawberries, sausage rolls, olives. All left behind.

We did remember to take the alcohol, crisps and pizzas so that was ok.

Smoked salmon/mackerel/some form of fish pate would probably make it onto my list.

Antipasti stuffed bread loaf if you have the time to prepare it ahead of time. I can't find the usual recipe i use but the one below will give you an idea of what i mean (although the one i have used before uses a longer shaped loaf and has different ingredients inside):
