For those of you who aren`t familiar with a potluck it`s just everyone who is invited brings a different dish and you feast! It`s great. So I was wondering, how often do you guys potluck with friends and what types of dishes have you brought in the past to these parties?
I never knew about the potluck thing until I started culinary school. Most of us were in a new town with no family for Easter so somebody suggested a potluck, new idea to most of us. I was pretty broke at the time so I just threw together a corn and broccoli veg dish with clarified butter and some herbs and spices, don`t remember exactly what I threw in there. We had another at the end of the year, this time the only food I had in my house was pasta so I didnt bring anything. One guy brought cream cheese bavarians in seperate little plastic dish cups, that was my favorite thing there and I thought was a great idea if you knew the general amount of people coming. Just make a couple extra just in case. One time at school I was let take home a raspberry chicken glace and sour cream pork glace sauces I made that day, it sparked the idea of a Sunday football and potluck Barbecue Potluck. I had bell peppers marinating in oil and herbs and some red pepper flakes as well as some steaks ready to fire up the next day but we got rained out which blew, I was excited for that one, mostly cause everything was gonna be grilled. It never got off the ground again, got too cold out.
I`m hoping to do another potluck sometime soon, they`re a hell of a lot of fun. So share your potluck experiences here with us.
