Spring is a time to finally head outside and enjoy the warmer weather. It’s also a time to picnic with friends and family. Fortunately, social media users are quite vocal about their favorite offerings. These meal kits, snacks, and foodies accessories are all favorites on Instagram and other apps.
1. 17th Street Barbecue’s Chicken Wings
Raving fans seem to love these BBQ wings, which includes a pack of 48 pieces including drummies and flats. They are slow-cooked to perfection and then sent for you to grill and cook. Social media fans note how the sauce is quite unique.
2. Sumo Citrus
No spring picnic would be quite right unless you had some healthy products to serve. These mandarins are unique in how they have a zingy taste (not quite an orange but in the same league) and are easy to peel and eat.
3. Big Picture Foods Green Amfissa Olives
Another accent food for a spring picnic, these green olives have a distinct taste and come packaged in “the mother brine” to keep the taste as authentic as possible. I noticed the comments on social posts are all positive.
4. Chip City Cookies
The bright and colorful Instagram feed for this NYC cookie company hints at things to come. The cookies are tasty and come in eclectic flavors like Confetti and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
5. Balvanera's Empanadas 12-Pack
I was not even aware of this picnic-worthy product, which includes a 12-pack of corn, ham and cheese, and beef. Empanadas are like a mini pot-pie but with a European flare.
6. Zingerman's Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich Kit
This kit comes ready to prepare and cook for our spring picnic. Social media fans go nuts for this delicious sandwich — the shop sells 1,000 of them per week.
7. Kenny and Ziggy’s New York Deli Nosh Kit
This electric kit for picnics comes with hot dogs, extra meat, pickles, sauerkraut, and all the fixings and bread you need to feed a small army.
8. Hog Island Oyster Co.’s BBQ Oyster Box
It’s rare to find a company that can ship out a box of oysters and do it so quickly. This pack includes 36 of them along with the instructions and a jar of Chipotle Bourbon Butter. I love the social posts explaining how to cook them.
9. MeatCrafters Lamb Sausage
For cooking out on a grill, nothing beats these lamb sausages if you want to serve something unique. They are all natural and seasoned with paprika and garlic.
10. Breads Bakery Babka and Rugelach Combo Pack
As a smart dessert to serve, this combo pack includes rolls and loaves made from dark chocolate chips. You can warm them up in the oven or serve at room temperature.
