Banana pudding for 150
Jean
07/09/12 		My husband and I are helping a friend with the food for her wedding. I think I have everything figured out except for thr banana pudding. The only way I have ever made banana pudding before was homemade pudding. I don't have a clue on a good way to make a good banana pudding for 150 people

07/09/12 		I forgot also they are wanting chicken leg quarters. We are having some ribs also, but chicken is the main meat. How many leg quarters for 150 people
ellen
07/10/12 		1 leg quarter per person- see the plan for 100 page, chicken is discussed at length.

Banana pudding is also discussed in detail on this recent thread;

www.ellenskitchen.com/forum/messages/35818.html Be aware that this is more than 15 gallons of banana pudding and you need to arrange for the rapid chilling during making and safe refrigerated storage. It cannot sit out at room temp.

08/12/16 		Banana pudding using canned pudding for 50
recipe for banana pudding using # 10 cans vanilla pudding + number of bananas + number of vanilla wafers
ellen
08/12/16 		5-6 9x13 pans for 50 people, depending on age and politeness...

For the pudding element for 50, 2 #10 cans

This is a recipe for 100, you can estimate cookies and bananas from 1/2 this-

Using half-and-half, or evaporated milk, makes a richer pudding.

120 servings, approximately; 6 10x15x2 pans OR 10 9x13

10 1/2 quarts milk
14 5.1 ounces instant pudding

14 pounds bananas (7 pounds for 50)
24 pounds vanilla wafers ( 12 pounds for 50)

Set aside enough cookies to cover the entire top of each dish used. Mix pudding and milk together. Stir until smooth. For each 20 servings, use a 10 X 15 X 2 inch dish. Spread a thin layer of the pudding, cover with thin sliced bananas, cover bananas with a thin layer of pudding, being sure to cover all edges of bananas with the pudding as any exposed to the air will darken rapidly, add a layer of cookies. Repeat process until all items are used. Cover last layer with pudding mix and top with the vanilla wafers. Store in refrigerator.

Banana for 300 people how much should I charge
and how many long pans should I use.
ellen
02/01/20 		Sabrina, info for 300 plus recipes is already on an earlier thread. More notes on this thread, please review.

I can't price for you, that depends on your costs. Caterers usually price a 3 to 4 times the cost of supplies, don't forget to count bowls and spoons if you supply those.
