picnic
Lunch on grass
A picnic is a meal eaten outdoors, typically in a pleasant setting like a park or beach, with food brought from elsewhere: We packed sandwiches for a picnic by the lake.
The word extends to the basket or spread itself: a picnic of cold chicken and lemonade.
Informally, something described as no picnic is difficult or unpleasant: Raising three kids alone is no picnic.
