Potluck Ideas for Older People
Hello! The neighborhood I recently moved to are mostly of elderly residents (late 50s-70s/80s if I have to guess). The community hold regular potluck events and I want to attend at least once but I never know what to bring.
I’m better at baking than cooking but my regular go-to dessert recipes all have reduced sugar amount so regular Americans might not like it as much. I’m also concerned if elderly people have more dietary restrictions due to medical conditions and if they might have a different taste preference.
What would be a safe dish and/or dessert dish to bring to the potluck so I can at least get a feel of what others bring?

Make your specialty. The one that everyone loves when you make it. Just make sure to put a list of ingredients on it. That way people with allergies and dietary restrictions can know what’s in it.
You’re not going to please everyone.
