I would like to comment that the term pot-luck is within
the timeframe of interest for the Society.
OED lists :
'pot-'luck. One's luck or chance as to what may be
 in the pot, i.e. cooked for a meal: used in
reference to a person accepting another's hospitality
at a meal without any special preparation having been
 made for him;

The earliest quote:
1592 Nashe Four Lett. Confut. Ded., That that
 pure sanguine complexion of yours may never be famisht with pot
     lucke.
