Picnic food

Im going on a picnic tomorrow but i cant think what to make! What are your favourite things to take?

I saw a great recipe in BBC good food magazine last summer. You buy a cob or cottage loaf (or any round loaf) . Slice the top off a bit like on a boiled egg and scoop out the bread, leaving about 1cm of bread inside the crust. (freeze it for making bread crumbs later). Then fill the inside with layers of cooked meats and salad items until it is just a little over full. Then cram the top lid back on and wrap it tight in clingfilm and refrigerate with a weight on top (e.g. upturned plate) for at least 8 hours.
At the picnic, just slice it like a big pork pie.

Hope the weather is ok for you. It is pouring down here in the South West.

I particularly like to have hard boiled eggs, whole tomatoes, cocktail sausages and cheese and iceberg lettuce rolls.

You could have quiche, scotch eggs, pasta salad, rice salad, pitta bread filled with tuna and mayo, crisps, homemade cookies, sausage rolls, vol u vents, cold salmon that has been poached and topped with holandaise sauce, cold pizza, chicken nuggets, cheese and crackers, cold new potatoes and not forgetting the champange and caviar.

I love my food. Enjoy yourself
