In contemporary usage, picnics are defined simply as a pleasure excursion at which a meal is eaten outdoors, ideally taking place in a beautiful landscape such as parks or caravan sites, beside a lake or with an interesting view and possibly at a public event such as before an open air theatre performance, usually in summer. Picnics are often family-oriented but can also be an intimate occasion between two people, or a large get-together such as company picnics and church picnics.
If we speak about romantic and family picnics, a picnic basket and a blanket is all you need. A romantic picnic is a great way to show you care, whether you’re at the beginning of a relationship, or you’ve been married for ages. Find a picturesque surrounding, for example a hidden recess with a nice view or the noise of running water. But be careful, it is not a good idea to try out a place where you never been before for a romantic picnic, because it might not turn out to be quite what you think. In the end, you don’t want to share your picnic spot with a herd of cows.
Some picnics are a potluck, an entertainment at which each person contributed some dish to a common table for all to share. When the picnic is not also a cookout, the food eaten is rarely hot, instead taking the form of sandwiches, finger food, fresh fruit, salad, meats already prepared on toasters and accompanied by chilled wine or champagne or soft drinks.
