Potluck meals

A potluck meal is a communal gathering where each guest contributes a dish to share with the group. It promotes variety and shared responsibility, often used for social events, parties, or neighborhood gatherings. Participants typically bring homemade or store-bought items, covering different food categories like appetizers, main courses, sides, and desserts. This format encourages diversity of flavors, reduces the host’s burden, and fosters a sense of community through collaborative participation. Proper planning and communication are important to ensure a well-balanced, enjoyable meal for all attendees.
