dishmandate

/ˈdɪʃˌmændɪt/nounVerified New

Also in: Mitbringgebot (Deutsch) · platomandato (Español) · platmandat (Français)

The dish a family member is permanently assigned to bring, never negotiated, never escaped.

The mandate is granted by history — one good deviled egg in 2011 and it is yours until retirement. Attempts to bring something else are ignored at serving time. Dishmandates are the family's least formal and most binding contracts.

Etym. — dish + mandate — a governing order issued by a casserole.

Rel. — casserolecertified · cousinpot
