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.
