Potluck

Potluck

Potluck oder Potluck Dinner ist eine vor allem in den Vereinigten Staaten bei Kirchengemeinden, Sportvereinen oder anderen Gruppen verbreitete Zusammenkunft, bei der jeder Teilnehmer eine Speise mitbringt, die für mehrere Teilnehmer reicht und dann mit allen geteilt wird. So kommen ohne großen Aufwand für den Einzelnen mehrgängige Buffets zusammen, und je größer die Gruppe, desto vielfältiger die Auswahl.
