Recipe

Take one Bank Holiday weekend and a handful of friends.

First pop down to Borough Market to acquire perfect cheeses, cream, butchers' sausages, artisan bread, bitter leaves, sweet plum tomatoes, perfect potatoes and onions, fresh sweet herbs and anything else that takes your fancy.  Don't forget to help yourself to as many samples as possible as you go round.

Marinade for an hour or so in a nearby lunchtime pub - in a decent pint of bitter or two.

Go your various ways to prepare your purchases and leave to cool.

The next morning, pack everything up, travel to Hampstead Heath and find your spot (under the tree with the '18' certificate - or so we assumed when couples with children hurried away from us once the anecdotes started).

Spend several hours eating sausage pie, cheese and onion pie, dhal pasties, garlic & lemon roasted chicken, Asian slaw, tabbouleh, Sicilian lemon salad, grilled radiccio with parmesan, potato salad with fresh dill, olive/sundried tomato/mozarella bread and lots of full-fat cheese.

Wash down with frozen Sea Breezes and plenty of giggles.

That was some picnic.
