my wife's Aunt would only make deviled eggs for potluck style family gatherings.
I like those deviled eggs
I was going to have a Booyhaa this year until covid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booyah_(stew) I am not belguim but I figured I would give it a try , I will probably make up a small one to try at home , maybe next year a real BooyaH it is the party , the stew and an exclamation of cheer al in one word what isn't to like about that
large meals served to groups is in my blood you could say.
our family gatherings on one side of the family have been fish boils for over a hundred years and on the other side Pig roasts
I have some news paper articles from the town my Great Great Grandfather settled in that he was feeding his timber crews Fish boil in 1880
when I was a kid my great uncles got me to eat the pigs head at the family reunions
lop off the hole head of the roasted pig , you have to work for that good meat but the jowles are great
you can not be squeamish about your food looking at you , some are , I am not
a friend of mine raises hogs , I have gotten a few half heads from him , they always cut them in half now and take the brains out at the processor now

I had a small fish boil for my family this year and have another one planned
when I do them at home we use lake trout
when we would have big extended family boils my great uncle repaired nets for a few fisherman in Door county and we would get white fish.

I like some of the buffets
The pot lucks I've been to require a special rule .......eat the packaged food only
Chips , rolls , crackers , soda can .......... Isn't that the truth! My wife worked as an accountant for a trucking company years ago. A lady dispatcher used to bring stuff she baked at home several times a week. Everyone enjoyed the cake, pie, cookies, etc. One day the lady's vehicle wouldn't start. She asked my wife for a ride. My wife stopped to pick her up and was shocked when she went into the house. The lady lived alone (divorced). The house reeked because she had 6 or 7 cats. Some were on the kitchen counter, kitchen table, and there were two cat litter boxes on the floor in the kitchen that looked like they hadn't been cleaned recently. The sink and counter had several days of dirty dishes, pans, etc. Needless to say, my wife passed on the "treats" the lady brought to the shop after that.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Our church still has pot-lucks two times a week. A bunch of us (14) have gotten covid recently over the past month, probably passed it around a bunce of various ways, most of us recreate, work, and hang-out together. What are you expected to do, crawl under a rock and not come out forever? I realize that's the Democrat plan, it's not my idea of living though. BTW everyone has recovered just fine, that includes a few old folks, the younger folks barely skipped a beat. Way over-blown imo.

I love potlucks we have had several around here . most are outside . There are very few people worried about covid around here . Some people wear mask come get food and leave . Some buffets are open some are doing take out some are closed for good . I dont like any of the Chinese buffets that are open
