What are some good ideas for picnic food?

Answer 1

Fruit/fruit salad, Salads all types (potato, pasta, lettuce), hummus w/ pita or carrots, sandwiches, fried chicken wings, tabullah (not sure how you spell it), chips, cookies, or pound cake.

Answer 2

sandwiches (make 'em fancy with croissants or some other kind of yummy bread)

**Make individual bags for your picnic. If you go to the dollar store you can get pretty gift bags or those Chinese take out containers and pack everyone an individual bag. Be sure to include plastic silverware, napkins and straws. It will only take a few extra minutes of your time to make it extra special.

Amish Picnic Sausage

This is a picnic sausage, similar in taste to salami. Nylon netting is available in any fabric store.

Original recipe yield:

INGREDIENTS
3 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground spicy pork sausage
1/4 cup curing salt
2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch dried sage
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
4 (12x18 inch) pieces of nylon netting
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, pork sausage, curing salt, liquid smoke, garlic powder, peppercorns, paprika, sage, and onion flakes until well blended. Cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal pieces, and form each piece into an 8 inch long log. Place each log onto a piece of netting, and roll tightly. Twist the ends and tie with string, or fold under. Place sausage rolls on a broiling pan with a rack.
Bake for 5 1/2 to 6 hours in the preheated oven. The internal temperature of the sausage should be 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove and cool. Remove nylon net, and wrap sausage in foil. Refrigerate overnight before slicing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months.
