food that's good to take to a picnic/potluck

lower effort

• Strawberry shortcake
  • It's especially low-effort if you make the macerated strawberries yourself, and buy the shortcake and whipped cream at the store.
  • The macerated strawberries need 30-60 minutes to "develop", and the time it takes to travel to the party allows for this to happen.

higher effort

• Frijoles charros [wikipedia]
