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???

I'm from New England, now PA and moved around the country. We've always called them potlucks. Also have heard of Johnny Marzetti. My sister in law (PA) made that often. We used to have them monthly at work and now monthly at our health club in PA. If I'm not up to cooking, chips and salsa works. That's potluck. I almost always get a new recipe when I attend one. They're a great social time.
