[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want your potluck dishes to be finished, make things that are finger food or individually portioned and easily picked up and eaten.

Many people do not like runny, messy food that touches other food and mixes. 
Never bring a food that can’t be eaten with just a fork, while standing and holding a plate. No cutting. No spoon food.

Little sandwiches on King’s Hawaiian rolls
Pigs in a blanket
Pizza bites in pilsbury croissant dough
Mini muffin meatloafs
Meatballs with dipping sauce on the side
Things made in wonton or egg roll wrappers
Mexican taco “cups” made with tortillas baked in the shape of a muffin tin
Bruschetta
Items arranged on a toothpick to be eaten in a bite
Individually cut brownies or Rice Krispie treats - don’t make a pan that people cut their own
Any sort of cookie

A lot of god suggestions by this PP.

I still remember a pot luck at the office where I made a bit sized Indian appetizer that went quick and my friend made an Indian pudding and it sat there and she was begging the Indians in the office to take some home. We were of course glad to since we knew how much effort it takes to make that and it was yummy. But the runny thing trned people off.

+1 to making a Peruvian dish or bringing brownies

Other stuff I can think of:
Any filling inside pastry sheets cut into bite size pieces
Layered Jello with canned fruits like orange - set it in the tiny cups (bathroom cups).
