What food should I take to the picnic?

Question

I am taking a date on an outdoor picnic in the park tomorrow. The date was arranged at the last minute so I l have had to organise it on the fly. What food should I take to the picnic?

I am thinking KFC and strawberries and creme?

I now have more time to plan the perfect picnic as the date was posponed.

Answer 1

sandwiches, chips, veggies and dip, cookies, fruit, drinks...

Answer 2

Easy solution - a sub shop/deli for a couple of sandwiches, chips, cookies, etc. - you can have her go with you when you do this if you want so she can pick out what she wants. Depending on your age/tastes, you can pick up ahead of time some soda, water, wine, or beer.

Maybe a little classier would be some cut fruit, fresh bread, cheese, veggie sticks, maybe some cold cuts, and any other odds and ends like pickles. Being in a rush, you can probably get some pre-made platters or assortments at a deli or grocery store, but you should repackage those so they don't look like you just stopped at the store to grab a couple of things.

Some nice thoughtful touches will go far, like a decent blanket/tablecloth, cloth napkins, real glasses, a little mood music. Try and think of what might make it a fancy treat for you (or what you know of her).

NOT KFC unless you absolutely know that's about the only thing she likes.

If you're sharing your thought's and feelings and put yourself into it, anything will work. I had a great picnic once that just featured hotdogs over a campfire along with toasted bagels and hot apples. But it was at one of my "secret" spots in the woods, and the day and place just came together.

Good luck, have fun!!

Hello:

I would take some of the following things that would taste really good for a picnic:

Fried Chicken

Baked Beans

Potato Salad

Pasta Salad

Fruit Salad

Sandwiches

Chips

Brownies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Taco Dip

Cheese and Crackers

Deviled Eggs

Pop or Lemonade

I would take anything that you like and that is easy to carry,and doesn't require refrigeration. If you do want to take things that have to stay cold,make sure to pack your ice chest with ALOT of ice,and put the foods that have to be kept cold at the bottom of the ice chest and pack alot of ice on top of it,or all around it! I hope you have a great time at the picnic and good luck!! ;-)

Answer 4

You need to consult a higher power. Check out the website below for picnic foods. There are many to choose from that are easy too.

Also add to your menu some cheese and crackers, with some grapes and watermelon. This will make it a lovely fresh treat.

Enjoy and I hope that it will be romantic for you!

Answer 5

Go to the bakery section of you supermarket. Get them to make you a hero/sub sandwich to your specifications. When you get it home, slice it at an angle so it will look nice. Take some fresh pineapple slices, strawberries soaked in 7up overnight. Keep you side dish simple. Like fresh veggies with dip. Tea is always a great beverage for a picnic.

Answer 6

Everybody is saying no to KFC, but I think that would be an awesome picnic. I love fried chicken! You might want to ask the girl what she likes to eat.

Strawberries are always great at picnics too! : )

Vegetables Croutons Hot sauce Chips & cheese Beef jerkey Pizza Turkey salad Baked potato Prunes Peaches Salmon BBQ sandwich Taco fruiting Biscuits gravy eggs and biscuits Bacon .... Pie!

Answer 8

A simple yet romantic picnic:

A loaf of good french bread, several sliced cheeses and meats (or soft, spreadable cheeses like brie), a bottle of wine, and chilled grapes & ripe pears or peaches.

Don't forget napkins, something to sit on, paper plates & plastic knives, and one sharp knife. A couple real wineglasses would be impressive, too.

Answer 9

Hmm...

I suggest you go to the supermarket and have a look at what they have got (eg things like dips, scotch eggs, sarnies, quiches and so on). Surely a KFC will be cold by the time you eat!

Remember kitchen towel or paper napkins - and spoons and bowls if you are serving strawberries and cream! Oh, and drinks (thus glasses!) - and something to sit on!

Have a nice time!

Answer 10

Your idea sounds nice but remember that KFC is greasy. What about buying pasta pots and some salad with a french stick. Then also strawberries and cream for afters.

Maybe a peach spritzer drink for afters or coke.

Answer 11

Strawberries and cream is lovely. You could try smoked salmon sandwiches, cold roast chicken drumsticks, tiny vol-au-vents, slices of quiche, some prepared mixed salad leaves, a container of Gourmet Pringles, something really classy to drink.
