Picnics

Did you know?

Picnics originally described a meal where everybody contributed and shared food; it was only later that they became excursions to the great outdoors. The earliest English picnics were medieval hunting feasts where they would roll up a fox in a bap and use swans as hats. The Japanese arrange picnics to admire naturists and the changing seasons, while the Chinese visit the graves of their ancestors with mainly Scotch Egg based picnics to honour the dead.
