dinner on the ground
Dinner on the ground, usually, but not necessarily, around church events, is a southern tradition. Everyone brings covered dishes. It is like a homecoming, you probably don't know what that is either, where dinner is taken outside to eat under the trees on picnic tables, sitting in lawn chairs or on the ground in picnic fashion. A homecoming is a celebration of any kind, be it church reunion, high school reunion family reunion; where people gather back to their roots and of course have dinner on the ground.
