WHEW... that was close!

This is a great topic for this forum as many of us go to parties out of town. Always a little awkward for me.

Coleslaw is ok if it is homemade, fluffed up in your grandmothre's antique glass bowl and garnished with some edible flowers!

My "gay potluck" contribution is always iced latte's. I make really strong coffee the night before, chill it and mix it with cold milk. Then it goes back in the milk jugs and I keep it on ice. At the party, I pour it into a glass punchbowl (that I bought at a thrift store) and set out fancy platic cups if there is not loads of glassware available. I also bring sweetners and stirrers, etc. so the host doesn't have to scramble.

Always a big hit. When I lived in the SFO area I would bring small jugs of decaf latte's and regular with lactose free milk. People here aren't as PC.
