Positive Wellbeing During Self-Isolation
What do you bring to eat/drink on a picnic? Multiple choice.
Please select all that apply:
wholemeal breadsandwiches and fresh fruit such as apple chunks and grapes. Apple juice to drink
That sounds great! I love eating apples and grapes when I can get them.😀👍🌈
we havent been out with a picnic since COVID but we used to pick up a meal deal from Tesco which included sandwiches, a little bag of chopped apple and grapes plus a drink for £3 each.
That sounds like a wonderful idea and deal. When it's possible, I will have to see if a store near my house has a deal like that and go to the closest park to do a picnic. 
I could only eat watermelon and drink lemonade due to allergies. I would maybe take a ham or beef sandwich.
Both meats and watermelon with lemonade sounds great for a picnic.😀👍🌈
Corned beef sandwiches
I like corned beef in a sandwich or on the side.😀👍🌈
Other for me Leah, homemade spelt sourdough with vegan cheese and vegan mayo 😋😋.
Excellent poll👍
Sounds really yummy! 😀👍🌈
Thank you for saying that about the poll. I have a lot of ideas for the next few weeks coming up.😀👍🌈
I love it.
You're welcome. Ooh, I'm looking forward to seeing the polls.🌈👍😊🙏
Chipolatas, and crisps.
What are Chipolatas?😀👍🌈
There small cocktail sausages 🤭🌈
Like pigs in a blanket?
sausage rolls, cheese & bacon quiche and Irn Bru - I'm a Scot.
Let me know when you are having your next picnic, sounds good.
Aah - when lockdown is over - your favourite picnic place or mine??
This sounds really good!😀👍🌈
Chicken, cranberry, walnut salad s mall crisp rolls, bottle of wine, fresh fruit
What fresh fruit do you have along with the cranberry walnut salad?😀👍🌈
Usually sandwiches, crisps and fruit . Mine are spontaneous so whatever we have lying around then get coffee at a cafe as we usually have a long walk when we have food
This sounds like a great day planned for a picnic.😀👍🌈
Egg & tomato + cheese & onion sandwiches, small sausage rolls, sparkling mineral water.
These sound really great! Any dessert?😀👍🌈
Probably an orange...
An orange sounds really good! Are you going to add it to a fruit salad or just eat it on its own?
Keep it simple for ease of transport (Shanks' pony!). Also lazy!
Hmm good question whatever my mom makes rye chips 😋😍 some soda 😄 depends 😄
What does she cook for picnics along with the rye chips? 😀👍🌈
She cooks some shrimp and some potatoes 😄❤️
This is a great option. I eat shrimp in some salads when we had gone out for seafood.😀👍🌈
Yummy 😋
Thank you! Shrimp on salad is really good with Lemon Lime salad dressing. 😀👍🌈
Is anyone even allowed to have picnics yet? How about some, not so healthy like, hot dogs and hamburgers? Grand kids like to roast hot dogs.
Anything you like for picnics is allowed to be listed/mentioned.😀👍🌈
Fruit. And I’ve got a thing about egg sandwiches—- only ever eat them on a picnic or as a snack when travelling long distance.
That’s great to hear! I have egg salad at home and like fried cornflake chicken on picnics along with salads.😀👍🌈
Chicken wrap. Ginger Beer. Popcorn.
What flavor of popcorn?😀👍🌈
It has to be Butterkist Toffee. In my defence your honour I am underweight!
Awe! That is totally okay if you want those flavors. I like certain flavors of popcorn as long as they have certain ingredients that I'm allowed to have mixed in with the popcorn itself.
I like to bring pasta salad, chips, and sandwiches. Cookies, also soda. Watermelon and strawberries.
This sounds really good. What cookies do you bring for the picnic? 😀👍🌈
Chocolate chip of course that's my husband's favorite.
That's one of my favorites for flavors of cookies. The other is crunchy peanut butter cookies that are gluten free.
Beer.
I’m old school! I’d take ham sandwiches, small pork pie cut into quarters, cheese, tomatoes, yoghurts and a bottle of wine or some cold beers! 😋
That’s great to hear. I like some sandwiches with gluten free bread if I have one.😀👍🌈
Smoked salmon sandwiches with fresh lemon on the side, lashings of Earl Grey tea (has to be freshly made so a water heater is necessary!) cake and chocolate - oh, and some biscuits ... and some Vintage Cheddar cheese.
That’s fantastic! Sounds delicious!😀👍🌈

Old fashioned fried chicken , southern mustard potato salad, coleslaw, home jarred sweet pickles, marinated scallions and company apple pie. Gosh , I wish I was young so I could eat that stuff again. 💤💤
P.s. I forgot the sweet iced tea.
Do you use cornflakes for the chicken? 😀👍🌈
I use good old white processed flour. Buttermilk instead of milk. Can’t scrimp on the cholesterol! 😁❤️🏄♀️
That sounds good. Did your doctor suggest a low cholesterol diet?😀👍🌈
I haven’t eaten like that in decades, but that was the fare we had as a family of six for a picnic. I wised up up about cholesterol in my twenties. ❤️🏄♀️
Ham and cheese batches, sausage rolls, cake and a flask of tea.
This sounds really good. What flavor of tea?😀👍🌈
Nothing special just Typhoo with milk and sugar ☕
Dear Activity2004,
I would take Sandwiches made with Wholemeal, or Granary, Bread- containing Meat, Cheese... maybe egg mayonnaise, maybe. I might take wraps, either made myself or bought, I ' found' a lovely Hoisin Duck one once. Drink wise? well anything really, usually 'Cold', unless it's a Cold day- or it's an Inside Picnic. (I remember 'arguing', with someone, that it 'Can't Be A Picnic If It's In Doors). If I'm at the Coast then it might be Sea Food based, especially if there is a 'Tubby Issacs' (or similar) close by.
I have eaten Avocado dishes, a few times, but not really by Choice.... someone else's picnic and I'm Never 'Rude', if someone has made the Effort. (Honey & Marmite Glazed, 'Pigs Trotters'.... a family favourite😝😝😬🤢🤮......'Thank you, So kind!)
I'm almost 'tempted', to ask, What's a Picnic.... rather like What's a Cinema, Theatre, Pub, Café.....😢😭😭😭.

All this sounds great and sometimes, picnics can be done indoors depending on the weather. We’ve done that here and there depending on the time of season/holiday/weather. 😀👍🌈
different flavour quiches, pork pies, crusty bread, butter, cheeses
This sounds really good! What do you have in the quiche? 😀👍🌈
Cheese, crackers, fruit, pasta salad, wine, water
That’s great to hear! I love gluten free pasta salad for picnics and parties.😀👍🌈

Then I transfer all to a big baking bowl and add the breadcrumbs, oats, stirring it altogether. And add the beaten eggs, chopped herbs. And bouillon powder ( I use a knorr chicken stock cube mixed in a little water) . Blend all well together and put into an oven proof bowl lined with baking paper.) the mixture should be quite moist

I use fresh herbs, so add more than the recipe says.
There method is add everything to a large bowl and mix. .

Tuna & Mayo with a nice crispy salad
I had tuna with hummus mixed in for lunch today and a Greek yogurt on the side.😀👍🌈
Cooked meats, fruit pies
What cooked meats and fruit pies?
Chicken spiced with eastern spices and sliced or tandoori drumsticks. Use whatever fruit is in season for pies and cold custard.
Thank you for the information. I really appreciate that very much.
My electric travel kettle .......plugged into the car for a few minutes............great.
Jo.😊

Coleslaw
Baked beans

Yummmmm good ole Southern (Kentucky USA) comfort foods
EJ ♥️
That's wonderful! Those are some of my favorites to have even when not on a picnic.
Me too. 😊🌿🌸🦋
Cheese salad sandwiches, maybe a hard boiled egg, don't like taking meat if the weather is very hot. Crisps, fruit cake maybe lemon cake, apple or orange, banana, carrot sticks, flask tea or coffee and maybe a small bottle water.
This all sounds very delicious and wonderful to have at a picnic meal. Do you bake the cakes?
Yes I like to bake, mainly use the Bero book.
Who wrote the Bero book?
Salad and cheese rolls with a bottle of water does me.
What type of cheese do you use for the rolls?
Either Leerdammer Light or Dairylea cheese spread triangles. My favourite types of cheese. Salads are mix of lettuce or spinach leaves with peppers, red onion, cucumber, carrot, sweetcorn and tomato.
This sounds really good to me! I love eating salads anytime or anywhere.
My own food should I be lucky enough to get out for a picnic 😁😁
Healthy sandwiches
Homemade scotch eggs my absolute favourite. 😋😋
Cheeeseo or Ham filled rolls,crisps & white wine.
Orange,grapes/berries
That's great! What type of oranges, grapes and berries do you bring with you?
Dark chocolate or regular for the cake?
Thank you for saying this about the poll. I appreciate it very much.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Soup and sandwiches with salad and fresh juice sounds like a wonderful idea for a picnic.
Don't get to go on picnics
But your choices sound yummy.
Thank you! Some of them are my personal favorites!
Scotch eggs .sandwiches.green salad.fresh fruit.sausage rolls.
How do you do Scotch egg sandwiches?
Tea!
What flavor?😀👍🌈
Ordinarily chamomile but I am now on a FODMAP eating plan so would experiment with mint.
Depends on what I'm craving for the day but for the most part its burgers on a gluten free bread and fries. I dont normally eat this so I treat myself during picnics.
Sounds great! I do the same sometimes during picnics and cookouts.😀👍🌈
Yes without the bacon wrapped around, small sausages 😂🌈
That's great! Thank you for letting me know.
