Good in principle but in the world we live do not think we would want to eat what someone we do not know would make. Sad.

If there were no veal lovers, it would be beef liver only.
Lamb liver is nice as well. Baaaaaa!

No, that has never happened.

Many Villagers do not want to cook anymore. They are retired!

At all the potlucks I have been to, most of the contributions are purchased from a store, not home made. For a Thanksgiving potluck, you would get lots of store-bought pumpkin pies, and no turkey.

Some places last year were serving turkey roast, which is garbage. I know, I just retired from a large food dist, I sold to independent restaurants in Indiana.

The only accounts I had that bought turkey roast were low cost all you can eat buffets and some caterers.
Any quality restaurant should be serving actual turkey.
Correct!
The Sunday turkey dinner at Cane Garden is turkey roast, not a bird. You can get the same thing at the grocery store deli.

Why in the world would you take the time to write that when you knew your answer had NOTHING to do with what was asked? If you had no suggestion to offer as to where to eat out the normal action would have been to scroll by. Di you think your answer was amusing?

The OP was seeking answers to a specific question. Your comment is unrelated to that question.

There are many clubs and neighborhood groups that arrange potluck dinners at rec centers all year. You just need to reserve a rec center room.
