Food you can rely on for a decent picnic
Scotch eggs, fresh baguettes, arancini and tinned fish are all dependable dishes that won’t hamper a feast at the park or beach
TL;DR
- Scotch eggs, especially Thai-style versions with sai oua sausagemeat and panko, are recommended for their structural integrity.
- Jambon-beurre sandwiches, made with a good baguette, butcher's ham, comté, cornichons, and salted butter, are best constructed on arrival.
- Paté, terrine, and rillettes are ideal for picnics, complemented by jars of grilled artichokes or stuffed peppers.
- Arancini, such as a cacio e pepe twist, are suggested as a sandwich alternative, kept in the freezer ready to fry.
- High-quality tinned fish like anchovies, sardines, or tuna, served with red onion, crusty bread, and olive oil, provide a simple yet luxurious option.
