A coworker asks what you’re bringing to the potluck. What’s the worst response?
Werthers originals
Blood. I dunno, I got it from some guy.
Fresh Durian
Durian smoothies.
These are good in a weird way, at least for a bit until I get sick of the taste
Clam chowder.
Maybe you like clam chowder, that’s fine, but even then, it’s going to stink up the whole office and you might go through a few little cups worth, but nobody’s grabbing a big bowl of chowder at a pot luck.
Just thinking about the smell is making me gag. Yuck.

Whatever those weird friggin casserole dishes I saw at the church potluck with corn or green beans mush with cornflakes on top… Or that time the lady got everyone sick but ‘making buffalo wings’ by just tossing a bunch of wings and sauce in a big pot in the oven.
Take that back, Green Bean Casserole (when done properly) is amazing! And FYI it’s French fried onions on top, not corn flakes.
Although I will grant you the wings thing sounds bad.
oh fam - this was no green bean casserole hit piece … I don’t know part of Dutch hell I fell into… It was just flavorless mush… the one time it had noodles and hot dogs in it too… it was always different and always awful. I always took a little just to see what it was this time. Seemed like some dish someone told them they make good. This was deep in Mennonite/Amish territory…
oh and it was 100% corn flakes not the delicious frenchie onions
Raised in rural PA. I know EXACTLY the kind of slop your talking about!
It’s essentially random shit you have laying around dumped in a pan and baked for 40 minutes.
“I’m a picky eater, so I’m just bringing a sandwich for myself.”
A can of green beans. Just going to warm them up in the microwave. (Going to take them out of the can obviously)
Or don’t! Watch the sparks fly
Potato Blumpkins
Two gallons of saurkraut, no lid.
Brownies, but I’ll make them “special brownies”. Don’t tell the others though. It’ll be fun

True story, a co-worker once brought a half eaten bag of Doritos and an apple pie his mum had made for him. Then he spent the whole thing trying to stop us from eating the pie.
Fish, I want it to be fresh so I’ll just microwave it here at the office right before lunch.
