What we need for the picnic? The Autumn can be an interesting season to the last picnics. The Sundays are not so hot but there still is the sun and the opportunity to go and to collect the chestnuts to make then the castagnaccio (recipe to my post http://www.learnitalianow.net/2012/07/what-to-eat-salame-di-cioccolato.html). I love the picnic, sitting on the grass eating sandwiches = panini. What should I bring? A blanket = coperta to sit on, a tablecloth= tovaglia (maybe you can choose it checkered red and white),the paper cups = bicchieri di carta, the paper towels = tovaglioli di carta ,the bottles of orange juice = bottiglia di aranciataand the fruit juice= succo di frutta.
The sandwiches are a fast solution for your picnic convenient to eat and, but if you love the sophisticated picnic then you can made a Russian salad = insalata russa, a pasqualina cake = torta pasqualina or a rice salad = insalata di riso ( see my post http://www.learnitalianow.net/2012/06/what-to-eat-insalata-di-riso.html). Do not forget the rubbish bags = sacchetti per la pattumiera because the fun does not preclude the environment! Have a nice picnic!
