I can fancy that no thrifty or loving housewife allowed the man of her household to go to market with too meanly filled a mitchin-box, but took an honest pride in sending him off with a full stock of rich doughnuts, well-baked bread, well-filled pies, and at least well-cooked porridge, which he could devour without shame before the eyes of his neighbors.
This kind of itinerant picnic was called "tuck-a-nuck " a word of Indian origin, or "mitchin," while the box or hamper or bucket that held the provisions was called a "mitchin-box."
