Potlucks are great because you get to try a whole bunch of different foods while only making one dish. I frequently organize them with my work colleagues, and our most recent potluck was “heritage” themed. Everyone was encouraged to bring a dish that they associated with their family, upbringing, and/or culture – ideally they would be dishes that were a bit outside the mainstream. We had a fabulous time and I ate a bunch of food I’d never even heard of, let alone tried. My contribution was my family’s “secret recipe” peanut butter deviled eggs (sorry but I can’t share the recipe on pain of death). Being me, I also brought two additional types of deviled eggs – traditional, and these breakfast deviled eggs that I invented spur of the moment. I guess my heritage is WASP/Midwest United States?
