# Organ Meats for a Picnic for Women

Source: https://ancestralorganswomen.com/blog/organ-meats-for-a-picnic-for-women/

A picnic is the one meal where the old kitchens still win. No fridge, no stove, no second chance if you forgot something, and the food that works is the food that was made to travel: dried meat in a pocket, pate in a jar, a piece of hard cheese wrapped in cloth. The organs that travel best are the ones that were made for travelling in the first place, and the picnic is the place to remember that.

## Pate sandwiches are the classic

Liver pate on good bread is the picnic version of liver, and it is the one most women will actually eat. Make the batch the night before, as in [liver pate for women at home](/blog/liver-pate-for-women-at-home/), and spread it thick in the morning. It keeps in a jar until lunch, tastes better than it has any right to, and nobody at the picnic needs to know what is in it until after they have asked for the recipe.

## Jerky and hard cheese fill the rest

Dried meat keeps without a fridge and eats straight from the pocket, which is why hunters and herders carried it. A bag of jerky and a piece of hard cheese is a picnic in itself, and the same larder logic runs through [ancestral snacks for women](/blog/ancestral-snacks-for-women/). The camping version of the same idea is in [organ meats for a camping trip for women](/blog/organ-meats-for-a-camping-trip-for-women/), where the fire does the cooking instead.

## What not to bring

Leave the raw liver at home. Anything that needs a fridge or a fast fry belongs in the kitchen, not in a basket in the sun. The rule is one jar, one bag, one thing already made. A picnic that needs a full kitchen in a field is not a picnic, it is a chore with grass around it.
