Best Answer

If you mean having your lunch outdoors on the grass, it was probably long before anything resembling modern man started eating indoors.

If you mean something resembling what we call a picnic today, they began in France in the mid 18th century. At first they were like pot luck dinners where everyone brought a dish but later become more associated with eating out of doors.
