I often take Tamale Pie if I'm asked for a main dish.

meat loaf is popular. Take something you like in case there isn't anything that appeals smileys/smile.gif

Ummm, you can't be antisocial if you tried --- you're the one bringing the chocolate!
Although I'm probably too late for you, Maria, I'll add mine to the thread. Tuna-cheese appetizer...
Easy to make, easy to transport, and generally enjoyed by all except those who hate fish.
Also deviled eggs (how creative!), guacamole, quiche squares, corn and bean dip in little cream cheese corn cups. I try to avoid taking a dessert because I find that it usually what people bring.
Fun thread!

Me three. Typically, I was asked to bring a dish that wasn't duplicated. I guess you might say the
gatherings I attended were too organized.
Meryl, you're not an oddity either! Nah.... you're just eggcentric.

Not a main dish but
my Mother always took a really fresh and tasty tossed salad with her home made French dressing. It was always devoured.

Sarah, lately I've been doing the same thing...
since no one seems to bring salad anymore. And it's always very well received.

T&T for sure. Everytime I make that...
for family dinners, I'm always amazed how the sum is so much greater than the parts of this recipe.

so true!! I never would have believed that such a simple mayo dressing would be so delish---with
the combo of all the other ingredients. the bacon helps, of course. My salad layers usually consist of iceberg lettuce, sliced radishes, small shell pasta, green onions, thawed frozen peas, the mayo dressing, shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon. that's it. make the day ahead is even a bigger plus for this dish. the dressing is just mayo/sugar/vinegar/salt/pepper, as I remember. Not sure the amounts right now.
