NBR: Picnic?

tmadden

We are doing a fancy picnic thing Saturday - linens, china, candles and flowers, etc. I am bringing the entree and am at a loss. Right now I am thinking grilled marinated vegetables, couscous and either panini sandwiches or mini quiches. Does anyone have anything more brilliant? Apps include crostini and spreads, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, and I'm doing an antipasto salad, plus my friend is bringing some sort of fabulous dessert.

Actually, I agree with Super!  Team quiche!

I love the quiche idea as well, but if you do want to do sandwiches, I've had some that were basically ham and melted cheese (and Dijon or something) on croissants, chilled - they were delicious and seemed fancier because it was a croissant instead of regular bread.
Count me in as well, a fancy picnic sounds awesome!

Personally I like grilled shrimp for picnics.  Nothing fancy, just a little lemons and herbs, but summer shrimp are so sweet and just as good cold.

I live in the Twin Cities and it is a pop up picnic. I think they sold 1,000 tickets. We won't know the location until Saturday at 3, you can go to set up at 5, and dinner starts at 7. There is music and dancing and stuff. The rules are everyone has to wear white, and you dress up, bring fancy dishes and glassware, etc. I don't know if it will be fun or random or both, but we have a good group going so it should be fun.
