as well picnics for four or five families are usually operative cooperative co affairs each family may supply its own lunch but more often each one provides one item in large enough quantities to serve the crowd one family might provide the salad one the meat and still another family the dessert which might be watermelon a luscious chocolate cake or a freezer full of old fashioned ice cream

prepared at home choose foods that permit beforehand preparation and that are not too difficult to carry or to serve 2 provide a fairly simple meal with plenty of everything but not so much variety
