Ellen-thank you for your site! My youth group is hosting an Irish meal, buffet style-serve yourself. Would you double check my food amounts? 80# corned beef, 40#cabbage, 70# red potatoes, 40# carrots. Also planning 20 (12x9) size meat pies, 12 (12x9) bread pudding, soda bread and rolls. Thanks for your help.

You need to add some items for buffet self serve.

about 80-90 pounds of potatoes
18-20 bread puddings if it is the only dessert- make a sauce

The corned beef shrinks by half, so if that is raw weight, you will end up with only about 40 pounds, about 2 not too thick slices per person. You better have someone serve this. Budget permitting, increase some.
