Country Picnics
Barbecues can be improvised, but
picnics have to be organized. Simple doesn't mean effortless.
- Provide plenty of tender, fresh vegetables, cleaned, peeled and ready to eat.
- Raisin bread and herb bread are delicious with pâtés and sausages kept safe in the cooler.
- Pizzas that can be eaten cold.
- Nothing says summer like salads: pasta, potato, rice and vegetable salads. Add herbs just before serving for maximum flavour and eye appeal. If necessary, keep salad ingredients and dressings in separate airtight containers.
- Cubed cheese and crackers.
- Hard-boiled eggs or a light, tasty, cold spinach omelette cut into individual pieces.
- Fillets or thin slices of smoked trout, sturgeon or salmon.
- Very thin slices of cold cuts because using a knife and fork while sitting on the ground with your plate precariously balanced can be awkward.
- Instead of the traditional cold chicken, why not serve cockerels, whole or split in two, that your guests can eat with their fingers.
- Finish off with fruit...in crush-proof form-individually wrapped tarts, or individual ices in the cooler.

If only a barbecue will do and you have a portable grill, go for
it! Sausages, beef ribs, beef, pork, lamb or chicken kebabs can be
prepared at home, brought in the cooler and barbecued on
site.
