A woman on TikTok had some interesting opinions on potluck etiquette, and TikTok let her know that she had the wrong idea.
Katie K (@Katiekcomedy) made a video regarding a potluck she recently attended, specifically a fellow attendee’s choice to bring a single pizza.
“I didn’t think as a person in my 30s, that I would need to say this to other people in their 30s, but here we are,” she started.
She went on to explain how someone brought one pizza for the entire group to share at a potluck, which she disagreed with.
This magazine editor's closet is packed with chic, eclectic and bold pieces from metallic jackets to shimmery chunky heels “That’s not how a potluck works,” she said multiple times. She felt the need to provide more food on behalf of that person. “I had to order four more pizzas so that everyone at the potluck could eat pizza.”
Although she felt that there was a problem with the person’s potluck strategy, not everyone else did.
“I don’t think you quite understand how potlucks work,” replied @hollyfleming165.
“The whole point in a potluck is everyone brings a little thing and it turns into a bunch of things. You’re wrong,” said @unfiltered_me7.
Nevertheless, she had a response to people arguing with her.
“If you’re the person thinking to yourself, ‘There’s no problem with that,’ then you are the problem and everyone at the potluck doesn’t like you,” @Katiekcomedy said.
She further clarified her point in a separate video, responding to the opposition.
“I don’t think that you should bring something for 30 people,” she said. “I’m saying maybe more than one pizza that one person, maybe two, can eat off of.”
Still, the comment section was not buying her explanation and still sided with the person who brought the single pizza.
“The pizza guy was the only one who understood the assignment lol,” said @charaallandis.
Unfortunately for her, @Katiekcomedy could not sway the minds of her viewers, and her opinion on how to attend a potluck remained unpopular.
Your meat aspic, with hot sauce and a side of vodka represents a potentially perfect culinary moment. Especially for an American in Eastern Europe sidled up to a little street shop that only serves aspic, hot sauce, and vodka who has only about $2.50 worth of local currency. Especially if the plates and silverware are chained to the bench in front of you, and the hot sauce is enclosed in a steel container that also is chained to the bench. Literally one of the best meals of my life.
I am not at all averse to congealed beef, seeing as how my wife is Dutch, and we love the Bitterballen. But chaining up the Hot sauce? Things must have been kind of edgy there.
I’m confused, but then, I’ve never seen a potluck event. If I understand this correctly, she’s saying everyone should bring enough for everyone. In that case, given 30 people, is everyone expected to eat 30 different portions, right there and then?
She’s just upset he didn’t bring any Bud-Light.
One person bringing one pizza is perfectly fine. You are supposed to bring as much as you and one other person would eat. I’m a Baptist. I know these things.
There was a time I would have hammered that at 3:00 a.m. after a case of beer.
