The word potluck dates back to the 16th century when it referred to the luck of unannounced guests showing up at mealtime. Since the hosts hadn't had time to prepare a special meal, guests ate what was simmering in the pot. Later it was known as a supper or luncheon where each guest brought a dish to share. The luck then was how good was the dish that the guests prepared. |
