Lamb. Best to fry. Only you need to eat right away in the heat of the heat, lamb has one unpleasant property – it quickly freezes.
Beef. Suitable for barbecue.
A hen. Of course, . You need to be careful with white chicken breast meat: it is easy to dry out.
Offal. From: they can be cooked very well on a wire rack, or even on a skewer.
Any meat, like offal, is better preliminarily pickle… It’s good to do this at home, in advance. One option is vegetable oil + acid + onion. The oil covers the pieces of meat with a film that prevents them from drying out during the frying process and remains juicy on the inside. Use any oil without a pronounced aroma, for example, olive (but unrefined sunflower or mustard oil is not worth taking, they interrupt the taste of meat). Acid is lemon juice, dry wine, or natural vinegar (one thing, not all at once). Onions enrich the taste of barbecue like nothing else.

2. Prepared meat products and meat dishes
Other meat products can be cooked very easily on the skewer and wire rack.
If you do not intend to cook meat on charcoal, take ready-made (it is quite acceptable cold) or bought in a store for a picnic. It is better not to take boiled sausage – it quickly weathers in the fresh air. It’s another matter if you are going to fry it over coals.
On a picnic, they often take a variety of sandwiches and sandwiches… It is best to cut all the ingredients at home – bread, meat, cheese, and so on – and put them in separate bags, plastic containers, wrap them in special plastic wrap or foil. The sandwiches themselves can be made right in nature – so they turn out to be much more attractive.

3. Fish and seafood
to prepare grilled fish oily fish with dense meat is ideal –
You can skip the extra vegetable fat for marinating fish and just use white wine, soy sauce, or lemon juice. The fish will remain juicy if, when cutting, you try to preserve the skin as much as possible (without scales, of course). For larger fish, it is better to use fillets or cut the steaks for grilling. Wipe the fish before cooking – it should be as dry as possible.
On skewers you can cook large ones, on a wire rack they are good.

7. Champignons
On a wire rack, and in some cases on a skewer, mushrooms turn out well – in spring it is easiest to use Champignon… The main difficulty lies in the fact that mushrooms, as a rule, very quickly lose moisture and dry out. But if they are pre-marinated for 1 hour in olive oil with spices, they will retain all their juiciness during the baking process.

8. Greenery
There should be a lot of greenery. – whatever your heart desires. It is better to wash it in advance, then dry it and pack it. In place, the greens will only have to be beautifully laid out on a plate or tore for a salad.

9. Cheese
It is better not to take semi-hard, melted and white-mold cheese with you: it quickly loses its attractiveness in the sun.
In nature, soft pickled cheeses go well (from suluguni to feta, from chechila to mozzarella), hard cheeses (like parmesan and cheddar), some types of smoked cheeses – those smoked “pigtails” that are usually bought for beer do not spoil much in the heat … Cheese is good for sandwiches, for salad and as a stand-alone snack. It is better to break hard cheese, grate or cut in advance.

It is possible that for salads, potatoes and grilled dishes you will need vegetable oil – for example, olive oil. You should not take a liter bottle with you – it is better to pour the oil into a small, tightly closed container.

11. Bread
If we are talking about loaves of white bread, take it at the rate of 1 loaf for 2-3 people. If it remains, it’s okay: it’s much worse when there are still a lot of goodies, and the bread has already run out. In general, various cakes “work” better than any loaves on a picnic.

12. Fruit
Fruits, washed in advance and packed in special plastic containers, are also appropriate for a picnic. The best “transportation” for groceries is a large basket – this will not only look more stylish and appetizing than a pile of bags, but will also guarantee that the food will not be wrinkled. And it is more convenient to get a large number of products from the basket.

14. Tea and coffee
If you can’t imagine a picnic without hot tea and coffee, take it with you in a thermos. Rinse the thermos with boiling water to keep it warm. Tea lovers can take a thermos with pre-brewed tea – or with boiling water and tea bags separately. If the company has a coffee with milk lovers, heat some milk (but don’t boil it!) And pour it into another small thermos. Iced tea is also good!
