We often have a get-together lunch at the church where we are attending. Each family will bring their own food. Most of the foods from the other families are meat and only a few bring vegetables. I taste a bit of everything from the food on the table but I normally eat what we have brought.

Now I’m thinking about parties, do you bring your own food and share it with everyone? Or do you just attend and hope that there is something you can eat there?

I have done both but I still end up running around asking people how they prepared what they brought in case I want a little nibble. For close people to our family they understand the reasoning behind it and I seldom need to explain.

I never thought of bringing food to a party. It just seems awkward bringing food for the party I am attending. But I have to applaud you guys for you have the guts to bring your own food. I would love to try it but I’m so embarrassed to do it even with friends.
