-
Sweet Corn: Boil or steam some corn, add in a pinch of salt, sugar, lime juice and pepper. What you have before you is a bowl of bliss, especially when had outdoors!
-
Cookies: For every person with a sweet tooth, cookies are a delight. Whether it is chocolate chip cookies or oatmeal raisin cookies, carrying a bag of them for a picnic is bound to make you everybody’s favourite!
-
Samosas: Hot samosas packed carefully in a warm casserole are an ideal picnic snack! Serve them on paper plates with a dash of sweet chutney at the side.
