običan (redovit) obrok
Bujasov riječnik daje ovakvo objanjenje: "običan (redovit) obrok, jelo koje nije naročito pripravljeno za neku svrhu, npr. will you take potluck with us? hoće li doći k nama na ručak (večeru) i jesti to bude?"
Zapravo u hrvatskom jeziku ne postoji jedna riječ (ili barem meni nije poznata) koja opisuje taj pojam donoenja vlastite hrane na ručak (vjerojatno zato jer mi niti ne poznajemo taj običaj odlaska u goste s vlastitom hranom :-)), pa je opisni prijevod u ovom slučaju najbolje rjeenje. U vaem slučaju: "Evo to ja mislim donjeti. Konačno, svatko će donjeti neko jelo!" ili neto u tom smislu.

piknik
"Piknik" bi mogao odgovarati po ovom objasnjenju iz Wbster's Online Dictionary:
"Formerly, the term picnic described an entertainment at which each person contributed some dish to a common table (potluck) in a public fashion. The first usage of the word picnic was traced to a 16th century French text, describing a group of people dining in a restaurant who brought their own wine. A theory has it that the word picnic is based on the verb 'piquer' which means 'pick' or 'peck' with the rhyming nique perhaps added in half reminiscence of the obsolete 'nique', meaning 'trifle'.
