If you saw this at a covered dish supper, would you try any?

Yes, I made it to take to a covered dish function and hardly anyone took any and I noticed those that did took one taste and didn't eat any more. It is campanelle pasta, shredded provolone cheese, baby spinach, sliced salami, black olives, shredded carrots, sliced orange and red grape tomatoes seasoned with salt, ground black pepper, garlic and onion powder, dried Italian herb mix and basil vinaigrette dressing. On top of that, somehow the serving spoon I brought with it got misplaced an nobody knew where it went! I like to try different things. Everyone here is stuck in a rut making pasta salad with bow tie pasta and creamy dressing. Maybe that's the reason?

Is that the same food function which was cancelled the other day at a days' notice because of impending rain?
 
True, some people are afraid to try anything new. Sometimes they might say I don't like it, even though they have never even tried it. It does look good and they don't know what they are missing.
 
Yes, it was the same dish I made for the function that was cancelled. I made a lot because it was for a large group, too much for me to eat by myself, so I brought it to this gathering. It was a day old, but kept in the fridge and still good.

That's the way I am. I will try anything at least once. If you don't, you get stuck in a rut with the "same ole same ole". Back when I DID cook, I loved trying new recipes. It was so much fun to just try different things.
 
I have a theory why the pasta salad wasn't popular. I noticed that the store-bought donuts disappeared. Maybe the people at that function thought pasta salad was not an appropriate dish to serve at a coffee social. Maybe they were looking for more "breakfast" type foods, but I was trying to get rid of the salad I made for a larger function and was too much for me to eat and wouldn't keep very long.
 
You might have a point there Deb, if it was a coffee social, folks are more likely to go with cookies, cakes and doughnuts...things that normally are eaten with coffee.
