OK, here's what I don't understand. The group is made up of people so
passionate about cooking that they come to talk (mostly) about cooking here
and I see some of them in other places doing the same thing. The subject is
picnics.

Why are most of the answers about where they BUY readymade food to put in a
container and eat in some possibly buggy place?

I have a whole section of what I think of as picnic foods, but you MAKE them
even if sometimes there is a part that is a convenience food. What they
have in common is that they are safe to transport and eat in some possibly
buggy place in the open. Where are your pasties, cold pies and tarts,
muffellata, Asian cold noodles, etc.? Sandwiches, even. I recall my mother
had tupperware shaped like a loaf of bread in which various sandwiches could
be lined up ready for the picnic.
