Best Answer

A potluck dinner is one where everyone brings something to eat, usually a cooked side dish. There is no planning or organization so the meal is a mixture of several different tastes and flavors and it is served buffet style so each person's meal is a "pot Luck".

The English word "Potluck" is when people have a gathering and each person brings a dish to share and eat with others. However, "potlatch" comes from the Native American (Chinook), which is a ceremonial feast where participants share their wealth with others in their community. Even though these two words look like they have started off in the same place...they have no actual connection.
