"Steves, an avowed "picnic connoisseur" writes in " Picnic Like a Pro in Europe" that "the best way to feast like a European - enjoying tasty local specialties economically - is to picnic," adding that, "there's no better travel experience than a picnic sourced from local markets and grocers, eaten outdoors with a lively square, peaceful park, or rejuvenated harborfront as a backdrop.""
"Picnics let you experience a genuine taste of local life and flavors by shopping at a local market and will help you save money since picking up provisions will be cheaper than dining out at a restaurant. You also have more control over the food you consume, which is particularly important if you have any dietary restrictions. Plus you can combine your picnic with a bit of sightseeing by picking a spot where you can people watch or gaze upon scenic sights as you eat."
Picnicking in Europe allows travelers to feast on local specialties economically by shopping at markets and grocers and eating outdoors in squares, parks, or harborfronts. Picnics provide a genuine taste of local life and flavors while offering more control for people with dietary restrictions. Planning improves the experience by ensuring proper supplies: a sharp knife with can opener and corkscrew, a plastic lid usable as a plate or cutting board, reusable cup and utensils, and sealable plastic bags. Bread is a budget-friendly, filling staple. Complement with meats, cheeses, and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Picnics can double as casual sightseeing and people-watching opportunities.
