From as far back as I can remember there have been special church occasions when dinner on the church grounds was the order for the day. Far a lot more times I caught as person after person walked in with store purchased fried chicken. Whether the explanation for this was lack of time, lack of planning, or lack of ideas I was never quite certain. I was certain however, that this was not isolated to my church alone.
It may seem odd but I have jaunted all over the country and lived in many different areas of the culture. One thing that seems constant no matter where I live is that someone inevitably brings fried chicken from a local eatery or deli as his or her potluck offering. There is nothing wrong with this of course, but there are so so many great recipes available for Sunday dinner cooking that it seems odd that so many would resort to this tired old tradition rather than spicing things up with a spicy taco casserole or sweetening the deal with some delightf.
