Any tried and true potluck recipes or things to buy at the store?
Preferably shelf-stable since it's a late afternoon work potluck. I could also go out right before the potluck and pick up like, a deli platter at the local grocery store. |

| Who wants to eat in the late afternoon? Is this an appetizer kind of thing? |

| I have so many! Greek pasta salad (omit the feta or have it in a small cooler to add right before serving), many different kinds of bean/chickpea/lentil salads, sesame noodles… I could go on and on. |

OP here: do you think adults would like munchkins? If so how many for a group of like…30?
And yes I know it is such a bad/weird time for a potluck, but I wasn’t on the party planning committee |

Sure - I like munchkins. 50? If you're not the only one bringing a dessert? Sometimes I bring drinks if I can cook - not sure if they need drinks. |

For late afternoon, I would not bring munchkins. Buy some small cookies or brownie bites if you want something bite sized. |

What's the difference? I'm no more or less inclined to eat brownies than munchkins, and the time of day is pretty irrelevant. |
