I have heard of "potlatch" instead of "potluck"? Is that it?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I thought maybe a bring-and-share as a synonym for a potluck. or maybe a smorgasboard, but not in the south? Buffet?
Flavor of iced tea in my world can be strawberry (yum made with fresh berries of course) or passion fruit iced tea.
I didn't know Varsity and I couldn't think of another tailgating event. Or passed down recipes. But now that I think about it, I'd think pecan pie is a passed down recipe in my world.
I also put "sweet" for flavor of iced tea. Heh.
I put pie crust as a passed-down recipe, but who knows.
I put banana for flavor of Moon PIe--now, granted, I always get just the regular chocolate one, but I always gape when I see banana and wonder if anyone buys it...:)
We both had shitty enough days that we weren't up for company. Score?
So I'm home with Loki curled up against me and Bones.
I realized that my notions of tailgating are not UGA's notions of tailgating when the only dish I could think of at a tailgate was "cheap beer in plastic cups" and I couldn't think of anything else you'd tailgate for, period.
"iced tea" in my mind is different from cold herbal teas
HA! YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED.
Carbecued bratwursts!
More seriously, the "what cultures are represented" question felt really out of place to me -- it's a right/wrong trivia question, not a "survey says!"
UGA's notions of tailgating are EPIC. It is a lifestyle.
Huh, "iced tea" in my mind is different from cold herbal teas, for example.
Yeah, the only flavor sweet tea should have is from a slice of lemon or some mint. I will drink flavored teas, but I don't think of them as traditionally southern.
I have eaten at a Varsity! In Atlanta. I am ashamed that I put Paula Deen as a Southern chef, because I am not a fan, but I didn't figure anyone would know the other ones I would name (Mildred Council aka Mama Dip from Chapel Hill or Mrs. Wilkes from Savannah).

Pretty sure hot dogs are what you go there for.
