Picknick

A picnic is a meal eaten outdoors, often in company, and may take place with items such as a picnic basket and a blanket. The term has French roots and is made up of "pick" (to pick at) and "nick" (a trifle). The first documented use dates back to the 17th century, while the practice of eating outdoors had long existed in various cultures well before then.

Cultural Significance

Historically, picnics were often significant social occasions, especially in Europe and above all among the nobility. Picnics are also a recurring motif in the visual arts, which underlines their sociable and cultural significance. Today they are popular as a leisure activity in parks and gardens, where catering services are also offered.

Picnic Traditions Around the World

In Japan the tradition is deeply rooted in the cherry blossom season, with each participant often bringing their own food. This tradition emphasises the importance of communal food culture.
