Quandry:

Why is it with POT LUCK suppers everyone comes away thinking the meal was
cheaper then a full serve meal, yet there is always enough food to serve 3
times the number of participants? :*)

At our CTR this past July west of Calgary Alberta, we did a modified Pot
Luck supper. We, the ride management, provided BBQs and fixens (butter,
buns, catsup, mustard etc, etc.) everyone else brought something for
salad/desert and their favorite sacrafice to the BBQ god. The variety was
astounding, and everyone had fun standing around and participating in the BBQ.

For that matter, a group of us always pot luck on friday evenings. We have
up to 15 people, and end up with quite the selection (Moose stew, Ostridge
Steaks, chilly, Pickled Eggs) Yummmmmm! Lunch time, gotta go!
