Covered Dish Suppers
After a rousing sermon on the evils of drunkenness and vice, nothing is more satisfying than gorging at an old-fashioned fundamentalist covered dish supper. (Covered dish suppers are not to be confused with the liberal “pot luck dinner” since luck has no place the fundamentalist vocabulary.)
A drop of alcohol that sneaks across ones lips (unless concealed in mouthwash and immediately spewed back out) may cause irreparable damage to one’s testimony and spiritual life but thank goodness there’s no rule against devouring four pieces of fried chicken, two helpings of mashed potatoes, three spoonfuls of that green marshmallow stuff, half a tray of deviled eggs, and a piece of pecan pie.
The fundy soul shall be made fat.

What is up with you, fundy hater? Isn’t life short enough not to waste it on spewing your hatred and GOD BLESS THE FUNDIES!!! BOOYAH!
Really. This blog is so immature. Put down your beer and get out your Bible and stop trying to spend all your time justifying your drinking.
classic fundy cliche! put down the bottle and get back into the pew, haymen!
…says the guy (or girl) who’s spending his time responding to every single blog post on here…
More fun than a barrel of fundies.
You forgot the scalloped potatoes with ham.
I used to travel with a singing group in college (not a fundy Christian college BTW) and we used to bet on how many dishes of scalloped potatoes would be at the dinner after church. One time, that’s ALL there was. About 8 dishes of SPwH.
Aw, come on, how can you possibly dis potlucks (or whatever you want to call them)?!?!?
Where else can a single guy get home cooking?
BTW, there is a big difference between a preacher who might have a big belly, and some 4-sheets-to-the-wind drunk driver!
Good sin categorizing Joe! Fundy’s are great at that. Sure, if someone is driving drunk he is able to do more harm to others and that makes his actions dangerous and sinful. However, gluttony, well, that’s just what people do…..
Hey, whether you are for them or against them, fundamentalist throw down at church dinners. No better food this side of heaven.
Can you pass the penne a la vod. . . i mean grape juice this way please
Fundies make such a stink about the consumption of alcohol, but hardly ever do you hear a word about gluttony! A great percentage of preachers, preacher’s wives, and church members (as well as many other Americans) are severely overweight, yet no one touches the topic of the health risks involved. If I remember correctly, the body is the temple of God. I don’t think God would stuff his temple full of double cheeseburgers every day. But, of course, there are loopholes in every Biblical message, as long as the pastor is OK with it.
One more commment: I attended PCC for a semester back in ’08 (yes, I’m ashamed to admit it). While there, I took a Bible class, and the teacher of that class admitted that the wine Jesus drank at parties was most likely alcoholic. BUT, he continued to state that Christians should not consume alcohol. When students began to raise their hands for questions about that topic, he quickly stomped out the fire and told him that the topic was not up for discussion.
Bet he was fired
“Covered dish suppers are not to be confused with the liberal “pot luck dinner†since luck has no place the fundamentalist vocabulary.”
That, plus using the word “pot” is highly offensive when it refers to something a person can consume.
We had “dinner on the grounds”.
My church calls it “potluck” or “covered dish supper.” I personally always say potluck because it’s easy and short. I know people say that if you believe in luck you don’t believe in God, but I still say “potluck.”
