On top of that there are people who don't like them because they believe you have to COOK something.
I have even heard that some people do NOT like potlucks because they don't like to eat stuff from another's kitchen if they don't KNOW the person.
This born in Ohio girl is really surprised by negativity toward potlucks...so gonna ask you...
Did you go to potlucks a lot where you are from...and do you call them potlucks? When we lived in Indiana they called them "pitchins".
My favorite dish to bring to a potluck because the bowl goes home empty is Johnny Marzetti. It is a hamburger, noodle cheese cassarole.
Did you do potlucks growing up and what do is your favorite thing to bring...or do you not like 'em???

YUMMO! I grew up in Ohio and this was a staple in the school cafeteria. Love pot lucks and I sure am glad our neighborhood driveway parties and social group at the rec centers here in TV have them. The whole idea is to socialize at these events and a shared cost makes it affordable. The bonus is that you might make a new friend over a shared recipe. If I were having something in my home, then I would provide all the food. That's just me. But, if someone was having a gathering in their home and asked all to bring a shared dish, I don't have a problem with it. Let's EAT!
