Picnic Information
Whether in an olive grove in Greece or simply your own backyard, an outing coupled with a charming picnic basket is one of the great warm-weather pleasures. When enjoyed out of doors, just about any meal seems to taste better.
Originally the
word "picnic", from the French pique-nique, meant "a
fashionable social entertainment in which each party present
contributes a share of the provisions". Around the middle of the
18th 
century, these
outings were arranged by the English and French aristocracy.
Servants, chairs, fine china and crystal along with picnic
baskets of wonderful delicacies were loaded into carriages for a
trip to the lush woods where the
festivities took place.
