Summer in the city and no beach within driving distance means parks become the go-to hang out spot. They are where people lay on towels and try their best to get a summer glow going. They are the location where families come to spend time together in the sunshine.
Playing a variety of sports. And of course bringing bags full of food to enjoy throughout their slumber on the grass. This atmosphere inspired me to create a picnic menu which will be shared each day this week, beginning with these simple ham coleslaw sandwiches.
Picnics conjure up last minute plans and a trip to the supermarket to buy pre-packaged, pre-prepared food that means as little time is spent as possible on getting food so that people can meet together quicker because the weekend and sunshine in London are two very fleeting things.
Picnics also conjure up relaxed people and easy conversations with bright blue skies above. With simple meal fare the main goal, sandwiches prove to be a simple and quick option to keeping people well fed and preparation time short.
