[quote=Anonymous]My crowd is mostly in their 50s. When we all get together, it's definitely potluck. Even though we can all afford the cost of hosting the entire crowd, we didn't start out that way and potlucks allowed someone to host without the burden of provisioning - and back then it would have been a burden. The point is to enjoy each others company and spread the work so no one is fussing in the kitchen while other's are socializing. My crowd also tends to clean up afterwards as well. We also gather at someone's home after a baby is born (not many now that we're in our 50s). 'Guests' brought the entire meal (sometimes cooking it in the home of the 'host'), put away/froze the leftovers and cleaned up. I love those people! FWIW, when it's just a couple people over for dinner/the game, it's not a potluck. The host provides all the food but most guests bring a bottle of wine or a 6 pack - those are consumed/opened while guests are there.[/quote]
