I haven't been on a picnic for ages but the last time I did and provided food for all those there, for the meat component I took parmesan crumbed chicken tenderloins and devilled lamb cutlets both of which are nice cold.  Not TMX of course.

potato frittata,chicken and some bread rolls

Drumsticks or JD's mini chicken and vegetable loaves would travel well.

I really like doing curried chicken palm pies. Make any of the chicken curry thermomix recipes - but with a thick sauce not a thin one. Then make put squares of baking paper in muffin tins, put pastry in and fill with filling top with lid. Then bake in oven and just keep in muffin tray for transportation. Easy to take out when at picnic as just lift the corners of the baking paper .

Thanks, Bickie - a great idea!  Will certainly give this one a go
I've been thinking of doing some cooking with the TMX with some 12 year olds . .  I think they'd enjoy doing this, too . .
