';An upper-class English ritual traditionally confined to rural French life, the picnic has been rebranded.'The Economist

';The great charm of this social device is undoubtedly the freedom it affords. . . . To eat cold chicken and drink iced claret under trees, amid the grass and the flowers.'Appleton's Journal of Literature, Science, and Art, 1869
