picnic for two
I am going on a date to the beach with a girl. I am looking for some suggestions of food to bring since I wont be able to heat it up. Something surprising! She doesn't yet know I am planning a picnic for dinner. Please and thanks!

Hey I'm from the UK and omg picnics are like our thing when the sun comes out annually for ten minutes-- [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If you scroll down this webpage, on the side by pictures are recipies and "styles" of picnic you could try like meditarianian, "romantic" and middle eastern.
If you want vegetarian healthy and delicious:
Cheese and lettuce and tomato sandwiches (Beautiful ,really)
Tuna mayo sandwich ( ou may like it)
Crisps. (potato chips?)
Cold pasta salad is always a win.
SCONES. SCONES SCONES SCONES. Jam, cream and SCONES. (Google their recipie, they are amazing and simple to make)
Oh and complete with Ice tea. So posh and girly, i know.
As was suggested below, watermelon. Fruit salad. Grapes, tomatos. Actually, a salad in general- you can make some really exotic ones.
Dont forget quiche.
Or pies- apple, etc.
Orange juice, Pimms, or vodka, what the hey.
Stay away from meat unless its cooked ham. Or cold chicken.
And other than tuna mayo, stay away from fish and sea food. Thats dangerous for food poisoning when its not absoulutley fresh.

I'm glad you added you are a vegetarian, is she also a vegetarian? If not you may or should include a meat for her to eat.
One thing you want to avoid is anything with mayonnaise in it as even in the late afternoon and evening with summer temperatures and no refrigeration the mayonnaise can spoil and give you both food poisoning. Not a good idea to make your date sick, not if you want to date her again.
If she is a meat eater fried chicken even if it is from KFC is always a good picnic item. Then watermelon slices or fruit salad which can be found in most grocery stores prepackaged. For dessert nothing from the refrigerator case as it could actually melt or spoil before you have a chance to eat it.
As for vegetarian here again stay away from anything that has mayonnaise in it. You could start with a vegetable and cheese plate with crackers and nice refreshing dip. Followed by veggie burgers with condiments of lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, relish, ketchup and mustard on a nice Artisan Bun. Fruit salad again would make for a nice accompaniment or chips. Dessert again anything you like just stay away from the refrigerator case.
Some supermarkets sell non-alcoholic wine. If yours does this would be very nice to go along with your picnic. Based on the menu I proposed I would suggest a white as I believe it would be more fruity.
Have fun and enjoy your picnic.

Watermelon for sure, already sliced of course... or a homemade fruit salad for dessert. Maybe some kind of crackers, cheese and dip spread, pickles, olives like a platter of stuff... think finger snacks - nothing complex you don't want sand in your food! You could even do veggie wraps without the dressing and just bring it on the side - quick and easy. Jug of lemonade, and water to keep hydrated. Hope I gave you some ideas? :) Have fun!
ou know what, I thought of chocolate covered strawberries after I meesaged you and I didn't know if you were legal drinking age :P good luck.
