Potluck Luck

Write about a St. Patrick’s Day potluck where each dish somehow brings good or bad luck.

Imagine a St. Patrick’s Day gathering where every food item–from the usual corned beef to the greenest shamrock cookies–carries luck. How would each person’s fortune change after eating? Would some dishes bring good luck and others bad? How would this affect the dynamics of the gathering? This prompt allows for unique character and situational development, while exploring the notions of fate, chance, and destiny.
