Coconut Sandwich

A picnic is an excursion at which a meal is eaten outdoors, ideally taking place in a scenic landscape such as a park, beside a lake or with an interesting view and possibly at a public event such as before an open-air theater performance, and usually in summer. Descriptions of picnics show that the idea of a meal that was jointly contributed and was enjoyed out-of-doors were essential to a picnic.

Picnics are often family-oriented but can also be a good time between two people or a large get-together such as company picnics and church picnics. It is also sometimes combined with a cookout, usually a form of barbecue; either grilling, baking, or a combination of all of the above.

As my in laws are in town, we were thinking to have picnic at sea line beach in doha, and when Our foodiemonday team has decided to have Picnic theme, It was very very easy and nice theme for me !! My family, and two more family were about to join us but due to weather change we could not make it to reach there, It takes almost one and half hour to reach there from my place, On a Friday we were thinking to go there, Then a plan is changed and we went to Aspire Park, which is very huge and big park to hang on. we just took some food with us and just drop in to that Park. My Inlaws loved this park, They enjoyed this small picnic at Aspire and prisha was like in heaven, because there are so many slides, games and lot more for kids. She enjoyed the evening so much and thts a worth time spend at Aspire park. we took so many pics, and it was tough to make them wait to take food pics when they were so so hungry ;) I made this easy coconut flavor Sandwishes and they liked it so much :) I didnt grilled them because when we reach there, It becomes so soft and himanshu don't like cold grilled sandwich, so I packed them as they are. besides these sandwiches I packed some Fruit, muffins, Popcorns, Chocolates, Croissants, and Chocolate Rolls and juice.
