Potlucks are ways of sharing food and time with friends. Whether you are having a meeting that ends with a shared meal, an old fashioned covered dish social or even a BBQ, all involve bringing and sharing food.

It's a fun and cooperative way to spend time together while sharing a meal and introducing friends to new and fun dishes. But any sport lends itself to sharing a meal together. You work up an appetite so why not get together and eat.
