Even a quick last-minute picnic will have delicious picnic food ideas... and a bottle of wine. And often a lovely rug, or fun table cloth on a picnic table. It was always a mug of tea or water back then... no picnic wine!

A big part of a good picnic, has to be the picnic food...
So, questions for You..
1. Who is supplying the food… you?
2. Or are you sharing… and if so, how?
3. Maybe your picnic is being catered for and you don’t need to worry about all these things… not as much fun though!
After pondering those questions... the TIPS below, will make your plans so much easier when organizing a picnic and you will know exactly what part of the picnic menu you are responsible for.
Run the ideas by your friends, things you, or they, might not have even
thought of.
TOP TIPS... so which picnic menu for you?
- We often share food ideas
for a
picnic... every group or family, taking food, then pooling it. This can
turn
into a magnificent feast.
- There are times when we delegate courses…
someone to just take easy appetizers, or just main course, someone else to take dessert and so on... you will find this
works really well too and can take away the pressure of thinking of all the
food. It gives you a chance to be really creative and to work on something
special.
- Of course, in these strange Covid-19 times, in many areas you will find sharing food is not allowed, so here is a chance to make a special picnic with individual baskets or containers full of interesting treats... like this parcel. Think of the clean, healthy, fresh air too!
How about special parcels of picnic food wrapped in a cloth, or clean, pretty tea towel tied up with string... for each person individually, when you’re not sharing platters. Fill with fun picnic food... everyone will have their own table cloth from this picnic basket... delicious picnic food ideas with a surprise tucked in too.
Individual picnic parcels when you can't share...
a great way to picnic in Covid-19 times.
