Any ideas for picnic food??

A nice dip that doesn't need a blender -

Soften 1 chopped onion in a little oil. Add crushed garlic, 1/2 tsp chilli, 1 tsp cumin and 1 tsp coriander. Cook for 1 minute. Now stir in 4 tbsp crunchy peanut butter. Then blend in 1/2 cup water (do this slowly), it should be thick but dippable. Finally add 1 tsp soy sauce (or tamari) and 1 tsp lemon juice. Leave to cool.

Brilliant with raw veggies.

Hello all you lovely lovely LOVERLY people!! :grinheart Please can you spare some time and give me loads of fantastic ideas for the following.

Ok, I have to cater for a group of 35 people (mix of adults and teenagers) going paintballing in a couple of weeks (13th July). We are going by coach so bear this in mind please. I have a budget of £50, I have a BM. What else can I do, that will store well as I can't leave anything in the bus - the driver is on another trip straight after dropping us off!

It's for my DH 40th Birthday - I suggested little individual kiddies lunchbox thingies but DH thinks its a silly idea.

I have Mr T, Mr M and a small somerfield within walking distance anything else is a 20 mile car journey.

Hi Ruthie,

This thread has lots of ideas that should help:

I'll add your post to that one later to keep all the suggestions together.

Bite size pasties? A large frozen pack of puff pastry (with 2 blocks in) costs around £2 and would make approx. 30 small pasties. I'd fill with a mix of feta cheese (1 packet, £1.50 to £2) and grated mature cheddar, with an egg to bind together, and another egg to seal and glaze them.

A filling I haven't tried yet, but keep meaning to, is corned beef. Maybe mashed with a little potato and chopped onion.

Whatever filling you choose, they're easy to transport and shouldn't spoil .

Fairy cakes/flapjacks/hobnobs?
Sausage rolls/quiche/mini frittatas
Pasta salad (but not rice, if it has to sit too long at room temp you may risk food poisoning)
Greek salad

Hi all,

I need some help :S

My mum and I are going to one of those outdoor classical concerts where you have to take a picnic etc, while our boys are away for the weekend.

I need to come up with a picnic tea/supper menu for 2, which is a bit special (in fitting with the evening) but also not budget busting. I'm also on the weight-loss thread, but could be persuaded to forget about that for sufficient inducement

So far I've thought:

Roast chicken
Fresh bread
Bucks fizz

Not sure its overly handy in our posh frocks ripping up a whole chook though...

All suggestions gratefully received!!

Corned beef pasties are easy to make and very tasty (especially if you use the ready made pastry)

Chicken pieces

Homemade coleslaw

Cherry Tomatoes

Cocktail sausages

Hope you have a lovely time.
