Can't say I have ever been to one, but probably my Swedish meatballs.
What is a "potluck"?a kind of picnic?.. In this case, one of my famous "quiche lorraine"!and some good pies..
Bon appétit! :)
Are these people going to a potluck dinner or a garage sale with these cardboard boxes? hahahaha! As for the 'potluck' item, I'd defer to the fabulous cook I live with on that one. I wouldn't even try. Stay tuned!
A potluck dinner is a dinner in which each guest brings something to eat (or drink) to be shared with all of the guests. Most people who are competent in the kitchen bring a dish they are known for doing well. Those who are not cooks often bring some sort of elegant store bought cake or pastry (and sometimes ice cream). The host usually prepares a main dish and all the guests arrange their offerings like wonderful satellites circling round it. The guests in this image are foreign exchange students, perhaps experiencing a potluck for the first time. People in Vermont generally bring their contribution to the potluck in a lovely basket, not boxes, but I loved the novel approach here.
Can I bring some greek wine..?
Costas
Are you sure they are going in, not out?
New word and idea for me, looks great relief for the host, and makes guests' links stronger.
Tortellini with pesto and chicken. And Birdman....
Yummm, Elenka. I hope there will be enough for seconds.
Greek wine would be a perfect contribution, Costas.
Steffe, your swedish meatballs would be devoured immediately.
Malyss, bring on the quiche and the pie!
I'd bring pie (apple), unless the hostess asked for something else.
Never heard the word potluck before, hope I don't forget it now! :-)
Good grief...that is one big family or it is a very big potluck! Cute.
Re your question on Florida Fotos: Yes, I thought the shot was rather boring so I did a little manipulation...
Re your question on Ocala DP: Actually, I think the yellow was green grass...one never knows what one will get with that Triqui Paint action (for Photoshop)...it's fun, though.
I usually bring a pasta and shrimp salad, or potato and egg salad, or a broccoli, cranberry and walnut salad.
I love to create salad, can you tell? LOL

We love to eat salad, Sunny, so bring it on.
Sharon, Mr. Brattcat's fav is apple pie.
samosas?!!!
Mmmm, yes, yes, magiceye, bring the samosas!
Bringing a dish to a potluck in a box is indeed a novel approach. Hope everyone had a good time!
I have never heard of the word "potluck" either. In the Netherlands we call this an "American" party. Everybody has to take some food or drinks to share. I suppose we have ever seen it in the States and copied it.
Last night I brought cheese and crackers and tabouli.
A big dish of scalloped potatoes and some home grown tomatoes. Am I invited too? MB
Interesting that potluck is called an "American Party" in the Netherlands.
Sharon not only brought wonderful food to our potluck last evening, but she brought an excellent bottle of Argentine wine, and she arrived before Julie did, so she helped set up all the food items brought by others and helped me get the gathering started.
We have a potluck gathering at our house about once a month of a group of friends who must also bring an original piece of art that embodies the same theme. A few of our group are artists, but most are not. We then critique each other's work, after eating each other's food.
Those are the best, with the spirit of sharing and enjoying!
God bless you!

Sharon, one time we had a potluck and EVERYONE bought tabouli. Mr. Brattcat has refused to eat tabouli ever since.
MB, I have a seat next to me reserved for you. Anyone who brings scalloped potatoes AND homegrown tomatoes will surely be welcome.
Dave, I love the idea of a regular potluck dinner but I think it would not aid my digestion to critique and be critiqued after dinner. Especially if inhibitions are lowered with a glass or two of wine. You all must be marvelous artists and critics to pull this off with grace each month.
I always bring something EASY, but tasty.
I guess me it's not enough...
Lol @ VP!
Home made quiche, home baked olive and ham cake, maybe a chocolate and orange cake... And a bottle of red plonk. Is that okay?
V.P., of course you can come empty handed. We wouldn't mind at all. Just come and enjoy yourself.
Ciel, you're working so many hours in the kitchen for this little potluck. But your offerings sound splendid. Are you trying to make up for V.P.?
What interesting comments on this one. I think I would bring a pasta salad...doesn't need to be chilled.
They seem to have a lot of things to bring to the potluck ... Big feast?
That looks like an awful lot of food!
Cream puffs, sherry trifle, and Dutch apple pie...
Au and Target, come any time!
:))))
With all what your readers will bring, we'll have a potluck for a full week!!
