Picnic suppers" were described in
1902 as new fashionable craze in
England. A list was compiled OF the
various dishes. each with number
against it. Then lots were drawn
by the party, and each person bad to
provide the dish marked with the
number he drew. Such suppers were
known in the time of James /. and the
word picnic was known to Lord
Chesterfield. 1t is supposed to come
from pick" to eat, and mick" a
