I would love this! I hate going to potlucks and having to pretend to like eating a bunch of cheap store bought stuff. People should put effort and good ingredients into what they bring.

Maybe it is the host’s way to minimize chances of guests bringing over Costco crap to share

Isn’t that often the case for a potluck though? If it’s interesting to the attendees that’s what matters.


In that case, the secret reveal at a potluck is generally cat hair!

Baked Brie en croute or chocolate covered strawberries.

Pepper shooters if you don’t want to cook.

Mochi?

Balls of burrata surrounded by veggies or whatever you like, then you break it open so the cream pours out to create a sauce?

Interesting idea!

If you want to give the hosts a hearty FU for putting their guests through this ordeal, bring the jelly belly beanboozled game. We are still traumatized from 5 years ago.

Yup, I would decline the invite.

I am not the OP, just a person following along. I thought it seemed overly ambitious too, at first. Then I realized if I was tasked with this, I could just stop by taco bell on the way to the event and pick up 20 bean burritos. Or stop by a Chinese takeout place and pick up 20 egg rolls. Or pop in to the deli counter of a grocery store and get 20 jalapeno poppers. After that I decided it is kind of a fun concept.
I assume the event is a gender reveal party.
