My favourite was a semi-regular trip to Hastings. Buy a couple of large baps from a supermarket along with a bottle of champers and some salad, get a freshly boiled crab from the shops on the front and head for the beach. Prepare salad, remove meat from crab and butter baps. Add salad and crab to baps. Open champers as loudly as possible so nobody notices and scoff. Joy !

Just posted this on last nights dinner but it is perfect for picnics.



My all time picnic favourite though is lentil bacon and avacado salad

Onion Tart.

300 g Onion sliced
80g cheddar
3 tbsp parmesan
200ml single cream
2 large eggs.
Balsamic vinegar
Butter
Pre made shortcrust Pastry

Blind bake a pastry case in a flan/quiche tin.

Cook onions in butter, for a couple mins. Add good splash of the balsamic vinegar ~2 tbsp.

Mix the cream, cheddar, eggs, some parmesan in a bowl.

Place onions in pastry case, spoon on cheesy mixture, top with remaining cheese (or more). Bake 25mins 200 deg. Serve hot or cold.

I have it in a packed lunch.

A nice roast veg pasta tends to go down ok;
Corgette
Eggplant
Peppers
Whole Cherry tomatoes
red onion

all drizzled with olive oil and balsamic, roasted for 30 minutes or so and tossed with pasta.

Pop some fresh basil in the container.
