I'm going to a potlock dinner tonight & what should I bring?

Question

I don't have time to cook. I don't want to bring dessert. Is there something cheap that I can buy bring to this potlock dinner I only have $25. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Stwaztkee:

Sliced ham, cream cheese, chives, toothpicks.

Lay the ham out. Spread cream cheese covering surface and no thicker than 1/4 inch. Sprinkle chives to liking. Starting with one of the long sides roll it up. Now take a knife and cut into 1 inch pieces. Stick a toothpick in each one.

You can make 100 or more in 10 mnutes. These are always a HUGE hit!

Roasted tomato optional....

Answer 2

Take some nice dinner rolls, with butter.

Answer 3

I know you said no dessert, but root beer floats are easy and require to only buy the ingredients.

Answer 4

DELI SALADS,,,AND A LOAF OF FANCY BREAD..

Answer 5

Buffalo wings .... the deli section of your grocery store should have buckets of them there, fresh.  Or, they'll have fruit platters....  or trays of roll-up sandwiches

Answer 6

goat cheese and a bottle of wine actually any form of alcohol really

Answer 7

I would take some flowers from the floral dept. Nothing fancy, just something you can put in a vase.  And some type of bread.. A long loaf of French bread would be good.  Or a bottle of wine.  We had guest not long ago, and another lady brought flowers and cheesecake.  I was very impressed by the flowers.  Good luck!
