[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make a Peruvian dish!  I would much prefer trying that than traditional American potluck fare.[/quote]

+1  Bring something you know how to make that can sit out for a couple of hours.  Don't try to recreate 1950s American dishes.

As a bonus, this way if nobody eats it you can just tell yourself they're provincial, not that it was bad.   :lol: [/quote]

THIS!  I only bring things to pot lucks that I'm happy to have leftovers of.  Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.  Once I brought an apple crisp to a thanksgiving pot luck and didn't even get to try it; another time I took tea eggs to a friend's party and no one ate any so I had them as snacks for a few days.  You can never predict what the other attendees will be in the mood for, so I recommend pleasing yourself.  I would probably have tried both your dishes, but maybe not eaten a ton just based on my tastes.  I also never eat other people's devilled eggs because I'm weirdly picky about them.  If you really want something that will disappear, though, it's hard to go wrong with fresh sliced watermelon.[/quote]
