We have had potlucks at friends’ homes and for some of our family’s meals, but when I hear the word Potluck, I think of a church social. I have attended potlucks at family gatherings and family reunions. The food was great, and the fellowship was inexpensive entertainment.
They would have community gatherings and have soup suppers which fed large groups. In fact, I have heard that potlucks really became popular during the Great Depression because the people shared what they had, which gave them a variety. Potluck meals have a way of bringing people, families, and communities together. 1 – English Pea Salad (Brenda McDaniel).Church Ladies' Favorite Potluck Recipes Series.
