The whole idea of going on a picnic is that you have a great time eating outdoors. This takes a lot of things for granted. First of all,there's the food itself. If you have romantic ideas of candles and fine food,then think again! Unless you take all the contents of your kitchen with you (glasses, salt and pepper, etc.) or spend an absolute fortune on a picnic basket, chances are that you are not really going to enjoy your meal.
