Tilly Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Having mentioned the 7.52 Glasgow to Penzanze and sometimes having to make long train journeys I thought it would be interesting to find what are peoples favourite picnic foods etc, I know if I use a train I don't like the stuff you can buy on board and am a firm fan of picnic's even when it only involves winding a window down and looking at the view, although that may just be a British thing.

Eagle Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 I don't think sitting in your car counts as a picnic, however pork pies, cheese & onion, ham & tomato sarnies, crisps and a bottle of water (tap) was OK for me. I think it was around 1954. Quote
Tilly Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 I think sitting in the car and winding the window down comes from us having naff weather in this country especially on bank hols, but I know I wasn't the only one when I was younger taken out for the day and when we got there is was pouring down and so we made the best of it and had lunch in the car. Maybe you're right and it doesn't count as a picnic, I'l check my dictionary ..... Quote
Steve the Original Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Sandwiches(cheese and pickle) and PORK PIES but nowdays i just go to McDonalds or Burger King lol.. Steve Quote
Mary Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 My fave picnic is: some french bread - a bit of good mustard and some nice white cheese - and either ice tea or water. Great for the beach, a park or just anytime, for me. Gre up doing picnics and we always had - potato salad, cold fried chicken and fruit!! Quote
