Picnic Food for 100
I am attending a picnic for about 100+ people. I was asked to bring something for vegetarians. We are staying overnight at a hotel. (I will contact the hotel to see if I can use a fridge, if needed.) I would like something that does not require heating or refrigeration. I am thinking either stuffed breads, focaccia breads, (which I can do a few on the weekends and freeze until the day before) or if I can use the hotel refrigeration then perhaps Tabbouleh Salad. I am also bringing cookies. Does this sound weird - a vegetarian scone?

If you can use a refrigerator at the hotel (or maybe bring a cooler?), Spanish tortilla makes excellent picnic food. I also like viniagrette-dressed lentil salads as picnic foods. There's one in Ottolenghi's Plenty for a lentil and asparagus salad, dressed with a vinaigrette with herbs and watercress pureed into it. I use it as a loose template, swapping out different herbs, different greens for the watercress, and different vegetables for the asparagus.
They're an easy picnic food.
