WHAT IS POTLUCK?

by Keith Busch 31 Mar 2022

What is a potluck, really, but an excuse to share good food and conversation with friends and family? A potluck is more than just a dinner party: It's a collaborative meal between the host and guests. Of course, once you've decided to host one, you'll need to tell your guests what to bring to your potluck.

 

A potluck is different from other planned food-centric get-togethers. Most of us think of potlucks as a dinner party in which every guest brings a dish to share. And that's not wrong, but the word has a more nuanced definition, too. Merriam-Webster defines "potluck" as a "regular meal available to a guest for whom no special preparations have been made," or "whatever is offered or available in given circumstances or at a given time."

In other words? Casual is in! Formal is out! And thank goodness for that: We've all had a tough year. As Candie Anderson, a lifestyle and entertainment expert, explains, "Our standards for parties are a little lower after COVID-19— and that's a good thing!" Potlucks originated during hard times; there's historical evidence that they originated during the 1930s, during the Great Depression. This makes potlucks perfect for today's tough moments: as Anderson explains, they are a low-pressure way to find a little joy.

In order to enjoy the potluck events, it’s important to set the right ambience and that can be done using the best dining sets of 2022.
