While the weather pleases us with warm days, you need to use this to the maximum. So, long live outings with a bonfire, singing with a guitar, active games and delicious food. Is it possible to come up with a weekend better than in the fresh air, and even with a fun company? Probably not. To have a good rest, take care in advance how to organize and plan your pastime, what events to come up with, and most importantly, what to take for a picnic from food and other necessary supplies. So let's go!
We distribute responsibilities
It’s difficult to spoil a picnic, but it’s possible. Especially if you are not traveling together or three together, but a large company. It is necessary to carefully plan who and what will take what everyone will do, in addition to joint entertainment, for which he will be responsible. It is better if for one point (for example, food, games, comfort) 2 people will be responsible. So there is less likelihood of forgetting about something important, and it’s more convenient to organize people.
Appetites in nature: barbecue and snacks
The first and most important question: what to take for a picnic from food? There are several options here. If you plan to make kebabs, then the task is easier, as the rest of the products can be selected as additional to this main dish. It is good if one of the men is responsible for the frying of meat. Then the women will have to take care of the appetizers. Here's what you can take:
- fresh vegetables and greens, fruits (wash and put in advance in a convenient container);
- mushrooms, bell peppers, bread (all this can be fried at the stake);
- small potatoes (to bake in the coal);
- water, juice, tea, alcoholic drinks (if you are planning a drink);
- snacks (nuts, dry cookies).
This will be enough to have a bite and serve at the barbecue. You should not take a lot of excess, for example, sweets, sausages, chips and the like. After all, you are going to relax in nature, the best food here is fresh and natural. It is good if there is a cooler bag where you can put drinks and spoiled (melting) products.
What else can you have a tasty snack?
However, not everyone wants to bother with barbecue, so you should consider another menu option. Let's think about what to take for a picnic out of food in this case? All items listed above (vegetables, fruits, bread, drinks) are left. But we have no main course. Perhaps it is not necessary? Meat can be replaced with homemade sandwiches or sandwiches. Prepare them in advance and pack each in foil - so it will be much more convenient to take and eat them. Take an interest in everyone who likes what fillings. It can be chicken, cheese, mushrooms, vegetables and lettuce. Sandwiches can be made both cold and hot (for example, in a special sandwich maker). Do not skimp on the amount, because in nature the appetite is good.
What can I take for a picnic instead of barbecue? Sausages that can be fried on a fire, eggs are perfect. If you want, you can bake a big delicious cake, just make sure to deliver it in integrity. Do not forget about sauces (ketchup, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce), which are useful for meat, potatoes, and vegetables. The rest is at your discretion and desire.
Essentials and Essentials
Now a few words about leisure. Think about what you need to take on a picnic to have fun. It can be a guitar, games for large companies (mafia, monopoly, imaginarium), tennis rackets, ball. Or maybe you want to fly a kite? Or read aloud stories and poems sitting by the fire? Focus on your tastes and interests of your friends. Do not forget about such trifles as matches, a lighter, paper and napkins, a bedspread and rugs, mosquito repellents and a small first-aid kit.
