Wow. While I know there is some tongue in cheek going on here... bad
blanket statements...

I am a born in the South Southerner. I do host formal dinners as do several
of my friends and family. I do have friends that do the pot luck too but
that really hasn't been the norm in any of the areas that I ever lived in.
