Exhibit A of:
We're rapidly unlearning how to cook. The US and Canada have progressed quite far on that path, but many countries are following.

    Are you familiar with what average US cuisine has looked like over the last century or so?

    The 1950s-80s were especially atrocious.

    Speaking of, our signature dish is strawberry jello salad. Strawberries, strawberry jello, cool whip, and a smashed pretzel base.

    Idk I cook a lot, but potluck food has different constraints. It has to be easily transportable (so stuff like soups are bold choices), it has to have mass appeal, it's best to be easy to have small portions (so things like enchiladas aren't wise), it should stay good as it approaches room temperature, and it should be something you can throw together between work and an event. And within all that you don't want everyone to bring the same thing, and eventually you wind up with something you like, you know is popular, and you can throw it together and let it cook while you get dressed. And you get the added bonus of not having to stress about it
