pita with hummus is spectacular, along with some fresh fruit and a good Irish cheese. and can't forget the wine, any kind really.

barbituates, hard-boiled eggs and dom perignon. this was marilyn monroe's favorite picnic combo. it causes the most horrid farts, which can be used to ones advantage in the event of any obstructed views.

Anything that has involved the Magic Bullet Blender (TM) in any way, shape or form. That thing is amazing! I recommend the guac.

The Westside Club from Whole Foods, a killer sandwich. Order without onions if you don't like onions, freak. A bottle of red wine to go with it (Mirasou label, around 9 dollars), but it's important to bring a picnic basket or something to hold the wine in when the show starts because nothing is more annoying than the sound of wine bottles falling and rolling around after the show starts. This will happen but at least you won't be contributing to it. No appetizers, because you need to leave room for dessert and it's too many little bits if you're eating in a box or in a row. For dessert, something precious and special and small and chocolate, like the great desserts from Jinn's Patisserie in Venice. Teresa Ortega, In Sequence weblog

I have a cooler bag that holds 30 cans of beer. Wine is good too but, come on 30 cans of beer always wins. Just that and a roll of fresh french bread. Obviously, then a Super Taco stop on the way home...

My favorite has been a caprese sandwich from Bay Cities in Santa Monica, grapes and something bubbly. A nice brie with bread/crackers is always great to start and anything sweet is a good way to top it all off.

Brie and Red Wine all the way. Now GIMMEE THOS TIX! Thankyou!

Mine would be figs and goat cheese rolled in prosciutto; cave-aged Gruyere and crackers; dried figs stewed in rum and cinnamon; and a decent bottle of red wine. And next time I won't forget the prosciutto rolls in the fridge, either.

Ok, I'm all about fruit....so fruit salads and fruit kabobs galore. Sparkling cider and water top it off nicely. Is it lunch time already?

Ok, I know this isn't DC (dietary correct), but I'm all about the fried chicken, potato salad and corn bread! Beer or wine, depending on the mood.
