A potluck is a gathering of people where each person is expected to bring a dish of food to be shared among the group.

Synonyms include: potluck dinner, Jacob's join[1][2], Jacob's supper, faith supper, covered dish supper, pitch-in, carry-in, bring-a-plate.

Folk etymology has derived the term "potluck" from the Native American custom of potlatch; the word "potluck", however, is actually of English origin. It is a portmanteau word formed from (cooking) pot and lucke. The earliest written citation is from 1592: "That that pure sanguine complexion of yours may never be famisht with pot lucke," Thomas Nashe.[3] As this shows, the original meaning was "food given away to guests", probably derived from "whatever food one is lucky enough to find in the pot", i.e. whatever food happens to be available, especially when offered to a guest. By extension, a more general meaning is "whatever is available in a particular circumstance or at a particular time."

Today is the 2ND Annual Sacramento Food Blogger's Potluck. Pictures of the event coming soon..

Thank You Garrett and Elise. Megan and I had a very nice time and we're just about to take a nap from the food coma we're in but I had to blog first. I think the Biggest treat was the Wild Duck, duck sausage and Antelope from
http://www.honest-food.net/blog1/about/:"Hunter Angler Gardener Cook." And the biggest surprise was how much my 12 year old daughter enjoyed his BBQ and kept going back for more wild duck! Phenomenal! The event today has inspired her to cook and blog more about her journeys with food.
Everyone was so down to earth and really quite lovely. It was a perfect afternoon. I loved all of it. The Salt Cod, The flour less chocolate cake, the Philippino cake (yummmmmmeee)oh and the best Meyer Lemon Lemonade EVER!
