I love italian food. My choice is #3. The other choices are for kids. That is my opinion.

My choice would be 3. Breadsticks and Mariana sauce, just because well YUMMY! Lol. I would be stoked, Yummy yummy yummy. Plus it is unique while the others sound like stuff that other people would bring. Plus they are all simple-ish thing to do. But Breadsticks would just be great. Now I want to go to your Picnic and eat Bread sticks with Mariana sauce. Lol, great I am hungry now.

Anyways some more thoughts about Picnics, Hope this is ok. Just wanted to give my two cents worth for others who come to this question looking for ideas.

Simplicity is seriously what picnics are all about. So it should be easy. Almost like snack foods. So remember to pack a simple meal, don't overwhelm yourself with choices. You are outside enjoy being outside and not worry to much about the food choices. I am taking a guess that you are going to be in a simi big or even a big group. Or just a group period. So, you must think what would be something that I could bring that others might not bring. Hmm, my first thought is something from a recipe... here is a good site that I came across. http://www.the-picnic-site.com/recipes-for-picnics.html
What I thought was cool about this site was it gives you a choice on the left hand side which has things like BBQ Picnic, Kids Picnic, Family Picnic, Healthy Picnic, and much more. I thought this was cool because you could look for ideas for the right type of picnic that fits you. I looked through the site and it basically gives you ideas on what to do. Oh my goodness, how funny, this site agrees with my simplicity thought. I hope you enjoy your picnic, Be Safe. (^_^)V

P.S. now I wanna have a Private Romantic Picnic with my boyfriend, but to many mosquitos where we live so he might not go for it lol.

Roast Beef and Blue
Start with whole-grain rolls. Smear blue cheese on one side and prepared horseradish on the other. Add red onion and thin-sliced roast beef, pork or lamb. Pack! lettuce and tomato on the side. Potato chips are mandatory

Hi #1 would be my choice Jello Poke Cake. Of course you would need to keep in ice chest until serving. Everyone will love this light cool dessert. I would not worry about it getting too warm it will be gone so quick it won't have time. Enjoy your picnic. Make it in a 9 x 13 inch pan and it will be easy to serve. Recipe follows:

Jello Poke Cake
1 pkg. white cake mix
1 pkg. (3 oz.) Jello, lemon or red
1 c. boiling water
1 c. cold water
Cool Whip

Instructions
Prepare cake mix as directed on package. Bake in 9 x 13 inch pan. Cool 15 minutes. Poke warm cake with a fork at half inch intervals. Spoon warm gelatin over cake. Chill 3 to 4 hours. Top with whipped topping. Serves 12.

My pick would be number 3 also. Breadsticks are not only delicious but can be made in several different flavors. One that I have found many people enjoying is a called a Bosco stick they are filled with cheese you can either make them yourself or purchase them. Here is a site that shows the many flavors and ingredients that are available. http://www.boscospizza.com/pages/bosco_sticks.html.
Not only do people love bread sticks and Mariana sauce , but they are very filling and delicious for children and adults.

Bring breadsticks with mariana sauce. I usually notice an overload of desserts at picnics. I love dessert but everyone seems to bring a dessert.

Also, bring some beer if your of age. Beer is always a good call.

Choosing the menu
or set of foods including snacks and drinks, again carefully, which your family may wish to bring along to the picnic site is another important consideration. Complaints about how the food tastes is almost always a sure spoiler. Your exciting day can turn drab instead. To prevent this, let your family, children included, have a say on what kind of foods would be best to bring to the picnic. This way you give your family members added stake in the activity, and therefore it should help enhance color and life to your family picnic.

Jello is over done; Chex Mix, you can just buy at the store now; and cookies are unhealthy. (Although I do love Chex Mix and chocolate, peanut butter cookies)

My choice is Bread Sticks and Marinara. I kinda feel that this choice could stand out as a favorite at the picnic!

I was gonna say the cookies but after I saw the Jello Poke Cake photo a ton of childhood memories came flooding back !!! OMG ! YUM YUM YUM !!! My mom used to always make that and I haven't had it in over 25 years. So my vote is for the Jello Poke Cake !!! Now I want some :)

Instead of the Jello Poke cake, you could bring a Better Than Sex Cake. It will outshine any other dessert at the picnic.

Breadsticks with marinara are an interesting choice as well-- as there probably won't be a duplicate.

Have fun at the picnic!

Chocolate, peanut butter cookies is the best option!!! Everyone has a sweet tooth and what's more perfect than cookies at a picnic? Food can get messy, it spoils easily and it stinks. Desert on the other hand is the perfect alternative. It's delicious and yummy. I would not pass that chance up!

PS:
Another option bring Fondue to a picnic, especially if you are there your significant other. It can create a very romantic atmosphere. You can get an fondue heater (inexpensive at Walmart) bulk chocolate, along with some fruits.
