Potluck dinner
A potluck dinner (百乐餐) is a meal to which each guest brings a dish of food prepared by the person, to be shared among the group.
You should always bring enough food to feed all the people in your group, plus food for one or two extra people.
It is considered inappropriate to bring store-bought or restaurant food—you should try to bring something you made yourself, even if it is something quite simple, like a salad.
Announcements
Work in pairs and make a conversation about dish(es) you will take. The following questions may help you.
What food/snack from which area/ethnic group will you bring?
Who invented this kind of food?
How is this food special?
Imagine you are invited to a potluck dinner at an American friend’s house.
