Whoooo hoo! It is Monday and that can only mean ONE thing….Potluck.
Today I am throwing out the potluck handbook (you can’t prove I don’t have one) and diving into deep potluck analysis.
Let me begin by saying that the potluck has been a bit controversial among those who know me.
I don’t understand the potluck.
I just don’t get the potluck.
What is with the potluck?
I love the potluck! I have been doing a Monday potluck from almost the beginning of my blog. I live for the potluck. The potluck isn’t going anywhere dear friends and family…
What is to understand?
It is a potluck.
Does it have to make sense?
A very telling comment was made by Blogstedman’s brother-in-law in an email following last week’s potluck:
I โขm still not a big fan of POTLUCK, but then again I was never a fan of real potlucks
AHA!
*insert light bulb over head here*
Maybe psychologically the literal potlucks of our youth are causing my virtual potlucks to be viewed through chunky-jello-glasses. Maybe the word potluck has such garbanzo-bean-casserole connotations that it inhibits potluck digestion.
I think people are AFRAID of the potluck!
So, to begin healing the wounded potluck soul, I need your help.
I would like to compile a list of horrific food that I will promise to NEVER serve at the potluck.
I need you to please leave me a comment as to what foods would cause you potluck nightmares…
We will return to our previously scheduled potluck next Monday.
Thanks for playing!
I lurrrrrrrve a good Lutheran church basement pot luck. Having said that, I steer clear of the MEAT HOTDISHES (what kind of meat is that?) and the jello. I think that somehow makes me less of a Lutheran … but I make up for it by eating 7 people’s share of bars.
um, yeah, i don’t eat anything homemade at potlucks. you never know who is scratching his balls and then touching the food. EW>
That green bean casserole with the mushroom soup and the onion ring topping. Barf Barf Barf.
Anything that requires baking or cookin ๐ Yes, I am THAT mom!
Wait…the potluck is about food?
Anything that involves tuna. At least if it is a breakfast or brunch potluck. Yuck!
Oh, and I love the potluck. I always get a laugh.
ooops I used the wrong name thingy..*sighs*
See! That is what the mere thought of green lollies does to me..
mmmmm Green lollies (candy).. I don’t like any lollies that are green. I am not fond of orange sweets either but the green ones are just well too green..
*skips away eating red lollies*
Um, anything with Mayo.,,,,cuz most potlucks are for a picnic type thing around here…and well Mayo and the california sun just don’t mix!!!
I don’t know if you are familiar with this dish but it’s always normal in our country to bring this food: Pancit. I really do not like to eat this everytime I go to parties. ๐
