Can't say NO 01/09/11 |
I am planning an outdoor pig roast for my husband's snowmobile club. It is a family event with majority of the adults being men and a dozen or so of attendees being children. There will be approx 100 attending this outdoor buffet. We plan to roast a 100-110# pig served as pork sandwiches with hamburgers and hotdogs for those who do wish to partake of the pork.
In addition I plan to have
Will this be enough food? Also, looking for a low cost easy to make suggestion for a dessert. |

Pretty good numbers! I might do 4 gallons slaw. Breads/rolls about 12 pounds plus 3 pounds butter. I would do several sheets of brownies and bar cookies (one of each flavor per person, cut fairly small) ahead and freeze. |

Planning a pig roast for sons graduation/going away party. Is this what you would also suggest that I do for his party. We plan on having a cake, but should I also have other desserts. I have a budget that can be gone over but want this to be a nice party for him. Any suggestion would be helpful, looking at prices right now. |

You need slaw, marinated bean salad or some kind of vegetably thing with this- 4 gallons. And I would do at least 3 1/2 gallons of potato salad. I would also add fruit trays (see the fruit tray page) and good rolls- about 12 pounds per 100. Extra desserts are never amiss, and with this, I would do small cookies or bars/brownies; 2-4 different flavors, I of each flavor per person. Mkae ahead and freeze. |

My question is I have about 150 people coming for the party and in-laws state that I need to make potato salad, in raw potatoes how many pounds of potatoes do I need?? |

With the other 2 starches, about 35 pounds of potatoes for salad is plenty. Lots of recipes on this site. |
