Not necessarily. A friend who is always entertaining keeps a bowl of
wursts and meatballs cooked in Classico marinara sauce. A killer
dish when enjoyed with a good beer or red wine.

Just don't get fast food. I quit going to company potlucks because
too many people were showing up with buckets of KFC and boxes of
Chinese take-out and bags of pre-prepped salad greens and a bottle of
Kraft dressing. Screw that.
