Picnic Ideas?

Question

Im planning a picnic this weekend... any ideas for what to bring? Sure, id be easy to do basic sandwiches or chicken or something but anyone have a new idea for me? thanks!

Answer 1

I'm actually planning a picnic this week. I decided I was going to go to Panera bread- order some sandwiches and cut them up until finger sandwich sizes. Then I was going to order one of their yummy pizzas to take along also. Then I was going to get some yummy fruits and veggies. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I have a idea for you got the chinese food place and buy some of the empty paper containers that they sell there and then make a vegetable salad what ever vegetables you like and toss with Italian salad dressing then you could individually wrap them and then make some hot chicken wings and in another one of those little boxes put some blue cheese in the bottom and a few pieces of chicken with a few sticks of celery and then you can also make a cake of some sort and cut individual pieces and wrap them in wax paper and bring a blanket and what ever drinks you would like you could also bring a loaf of nice Italian bread and bring some bottles of water but freeze them first and use that for your ice and then it will keep you food cold and it will also make for a nice cold refreshing drink well it melts. Or just do fried chicken or finger sandwichs that type of stuff and have fun!

Answer 3

Have you thought of doing sushi? If you don't eat sushi, then it's probably not the best idea. But if you do, and it won't be a million degrees where you are going, it could be fun.

Lots of grocery stores sell the little packages of 12 or so rolls. Just pack them in some ice (or the freezer packs) and you should be good.

I always take a bunch of sliced fruit on my picnics too.
