Today is...
International Picnic Day
It’s
International Picnic Day! Today we celebrate one of the greatest ways
to enjoy the summer season—an outdoor picnic with friends, family, games
and activities, and delicious food.
During
the Victorian era, picnics were very important social occasions. They
offered the rare opportunity for young men and women to spend time
together in the great outdoors. They were also quite elaborate. A picnic
for twenty people might feature cold salmon, lamb, veal, chicken, ham,
pigeon pie, sandwiches, fruit, a selection of cheeses, and a variety of
baked goods! The modern-day picnic is much less complicated. In fact,
the phrase “it’s a picnic” means “it’s easy.”
To
celebrate International Picnic Day, invite your friends and family to a
summer picnic. Find a suitable location at a local park or field, and
sit back and enjoy an al fresco meal in the company of your loved ones.
Happy International Picnic Day!
