> A potluck is a gathering of people where each person or group of people may contribute a dish of food prepared by the person or the group of people, to be shared among the group.

It's not prepared by the person bringing it. It's disrespectful to the potluck gods.

Same thing goes for cheese platters, shrimp rings, and M&M frozen entrees.

I resent being the only person at a potluck that actually cooks something.

But what if you made a fuckwin homemade dip to go with the veggie tray? Like baked artichoke or something?

I like bringing a crudite platter, because half the time whenever people bring stuff to a potluck it's all desserts or fat people food, and nobody likes to cook with vegetables as much as I do, I have found.

I fucking hate that everyone these days just tries to go the easy route when it comes to potlucks. In my last workplace half the people just went to Costco to buy salads and whatever there. At least it was easy to please them, I brought a bean salad once and they raved about it like it was fucking foie gras :/

>> No.4382175

That would be acceptable. Anyone can cut veggies, but not everyone can make a good veggie dip. OP's picture is clearly the shit tier ranch dressing that comes with the tray though.

>>4383282
Riiiight. I get your point. I've brought veggies trays to parties (but I also usually bring something else, like a dessert or a meat and cheese tray too) But I make the veggie tray at home, myself, after selecting the veggies I want to include. The store bought ones are inevitably dried out and all come with terrible ranch dressing or some other god awful dip. When I do a veggie tray, I try to include several dips, that will appeal to most people. Like roasted red pepper dip, or homemade green goddess dip, or red onion-basil dip, or even hot artichoke-spinach dip.

When I bring veggie trays to potlucks I replace the ranch with ketchup.

I used to be like that, whenever I had to cook something for potluck I would just go buy something because it was too difficult to deal with. I got help and now I am better. I am now a fastidious neat freak in the kitchen since I am terrified that if I let myself slip I will go back to hoarder status. Now, I have no problem cooking for people.

I was going to make a thread similar to this, what are your thoughts on cocktails and/or mocktails being brought to a potluck?

With my group of friends, they all like to have a drink or two, so I usually pick an interesting cocktail drink (and a non alcoholic drink if I know any non-drinkers are coming) I supply the ingredients myself, I'm wondering if anyone else does this? and is it acceptable?

>> No.4383606

Amongst friends, sure. Make a sangria or some kind of fruit infused alcoholic or non-alcoholic lemonade. Usually cheaper than bringing individual bottles to mix and serve all night.
