Picknick Ideas For KIDS and Veggie Adults

egon

Hi all,

I need a bit of help. I am trying to find some easy to make picknick recipes.
We are having a birthday picknick for a 3 y old in July, where only family is turning up. Unfortunately, brother in laws kids are fussy eaters (they are 3 1/2 and 6 years old). Also, brother in law is vegetarian.

Any input would be welcomed!

Thanks Egon

You said vegetarian rather than vegan so, how about HM quiche (I like leeks / mushrooms .. but broccoli works too ).

HM pizza cut into small segments, served cold always goes down well with kids (and adults too ).

Carrot sticks / celery sticks / peppers with houmous.

Cheese straws

Cheese / pineapple on sticks

Cherry tomatoes ... my DD and her friends pop these like sweeties

Sorry, lacking inspiration, but I'm sure others will come by with ace suggestions

how about:
carrot sticks/ cucumber sticks/ bread sticks and dips
green salad/ cherry tomatoes/ coleslaw
sandwiches/ filled rolls/ filled pittas
cheese & crackers/ cheese & pineapple on sticks/ cheese straws
savoury muffins/ cheese flapjacks/ quiche
potato salad/ pasta salad/ cous cous salad
gingerbread men/ fairy cakes/ Twink's hobnobs
fresh fruit/ fruit salad/ pots of jelly

for the non vegetarians you could do stuff like:
cooked sausages/ chicken drumsticks/ sliced meat
scotch eggs/ chicken parcels/ tuna puffs/ Cornish pasties

Thanks ZED42 and Nikki,

Half the stuff you have said, the kids wont eat!!!! (Mine do though)
I am thinking, maybe they just have to live with what I make!?!

How about asking Bil to bring something for his fussy kids to eat:rolleyes: If i was going somewhere with my little one i would expect her to eat what was given to her, and i wouldnt expect the host to cater to her whims

Sorry i havent given you any constructive recipes etc, the above posters have covered pretty much all the bases i think:D
