The last potluck I went to, several people became ill. Have you seen the cats crawling all over the counters on RVs where this food is prepared. No thanks. Once was enough for me being sick. No more pot lucks. If I want to socialize, I will go and not eat.
Got to go with this.....and my personal paranoia: I know how to cook, the wife knows how to cook, DIL knows how to cook....all in a safe, clean, manner. At a potluck, one never knows if the prep was done in anything like a sanitary manner.
Even though I recognize that most public eating places would be 10x worse, I can't enjoy potlucks for worrying about tht sort of thing.
