Church Potluck · 教会聚餐

basic
You

Hi, I am new here. What is a potluck exactly? Someone told me to bring a dish.

你好,我是新来的。potluck到底是什么?有人让我带一道菜。

💡 美国教会经常举办potluck(百乐餐),每人带一道菜来分享。这是社交和融入社区的重要方式。

A potluck is where everyone brings a dish to share. It can be anything — a casserole, salad, dessert, whatever you like to make. We set everything out buffet style.

You

I am not a great cook. Is it okay to bring something store-bought?

Of course! Plenty of people bring store-bought items. A tray of cookies, a veggie platter, or even a bucket of fried chicken — anything goes.

当然!很多人带买的东西。一盘饼干、一个蔬菜拼盘,甚至一桶炸鸡——什么都行。

You

This is so much food! Where should I put my dish?

Set it on the table with the other dishes. Label it if it contains common allergens like nuts or dairy. Then grab a plate and dig in — no need to wait.

放在桌子上和其他菜一起。如果含有常见过敏原比如坚果或乳制品请标注一下。然后拿个盘子开吃——不用等。
