[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah this is so awkward. There are some people who want you to leave the food and will eat it. There are some people who are annoyed if you leave your leftovers. Sometimes it's awkward to suss out what they want me to do.

DH and I love leftovers and we eat them all. We freeze turkey and use it later for turkey soup, turkey pot pies, etc. [/quote]

You need to have potluck rules in your potluck group.  We have a monthly potluck with a group of familes.  Our rules are -
- everyone takes turns to host. 
- container sizes are predetermined.  Yes, to aluminium foil containers that fit the chafing stands.  
- people need to bring food that is already at serving temperature in the container that it will be served (usually aluminium foil containers of specific size.  Icebaths and chafing stands are provided. People need to put their dishes at the provided stands. 
- host provides the basics such as - starch, one entree, one appetizer and drinks. 
- all leftovers gets divvied up equally. 
- food is served buffet style. 
- host discusses with the group and gives options for menu items for each category. Attendees pick what they want to bring. Menu is then finalized.
