How about a picnic in Africa?  That would be interesting.
Or perhaps South America.  That would also be interesting.
And then there is Russia.  And China.  And the Middle East.
And Alaska.  And Hawaii.  And American Samoa.  And Puerto
Rico.  And lots of other interesting places around the globe.

I kind of like Sicily.  That is a world all unto itself.
An island, in the middle of the Mediterranean.  Where
nobody speaks English.  And the Italian spoken there is
not really Italian, but Sicilian.

New Zealand is also very nice.  Since two picnics have already
been held in Australia, maybe a picnic in New Zealand could be
arranged.  I'll invite a few folks from that part of the world
to participate in this forum, and introduce the fine folks here
to Kiwi cuisine.

Japan would be nice, but the culture is radically different
than what most participants in this forum are used to.  I say
most, because some participants have actually been to Japan
and know exactly what I am talking about.  :)

The Philippines is also an excellent choice, being a crossroads
cuisine (Filipino, Malay, American).  Why limit a picnic to places
that are familiar to all?  Better to widen one's horizons, and
experience what other places have to offer.

In the Atlantic, there is the Canary Islands.  And Iceland.
Not just England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.  Not to mention
the Rock of Gibraltar.  And Malta.  Oops.  Malta is in the
Mediterranean.  That doesn't count.

Here's a great place for a picnic - South Africa.  Shoulda scheduled
a picnic there for the duration of the World Cup.  Imagine how much fun
that would have been.  A month-long picnic, with athletes from around
the world dropping by for snacks.  But hey. There's still time.  The
World Cup does not start until June 11.  So grab your suitcase and hop
on a plane...
