Help me name my speech/short story potluck event!
Friends, I'm thinking of having an event at my apartment wherein people come over with food (hence the potluck) and we give informative speeches and/or read short stories to each other. Each speech or story would last about five to ten minutes.
The problem is that I need a catchy name to get people interested in coming (I'm going to make flyers to hang up, etc.)
So, hit me up with your best catchy event name!
When my friends used to do this, is was called "Speeches and Spaghetti," but I find this lacking for several reasons I won't go into.

How about "dish"? Connotations of both food and stories. Something like "Dish: Plates and Patter" would work.

The Autocrats of the Dinner Table, with a motto from Saki, "To be clever in the afternoon argues that one is dining nowhere in the evening." If you're meeting in the afternoon though, god help you.

Bite & Recite
I tried and tried to come up with a word to go with "prose" but I couldn't. Maybe someone else can!
