Ideas for your picnic
How did the idea of the picnic come about?
The history of the picnic dates back to the 17th century. In those days, people would meet up outdoors and everyone would bring along their own favourite recipe. The word originates from French and consists of “piquer” (to pick or take) and “nique” (a little thing).
The concept of the picnic, eating together in a park or garden, therefore has deep roots in different cultures. Today, we enjoy picnicking in scenic locations with family, friends or on a romantic date.
