The word picnic appears to come from the French pique-nique, which was simply used to describe people dining in a restaurant who had brought their own wine.
Today, a picnic is food that is eaten outdoors, although not, for instance, in your own garden. The picnic is usually combined with travel to another location, such as an area of natural beauty or a park.
Picnics are generally eaten in the summer, when the weather is better, so April is a little bit early to be having one in much of the Northern Hemisphere.
Picnics range from the small, family oriented event to larger, group meetings and picnics, associated with social and community events.
Most food at picnics is eaten cold, but some may use a barbecue. Some areas are specifically designed for picnics, including picnic tables and perhaps more.
Any food can be eaten, but mostly food that is suitable for eating by hand is preferred.
