I have to make a lunch/birthday party for about 60 people...about 25 are children. How much chicken salad, pasta salad (corn fettuccine) and hot dogs should I make and how about drinks ideas? |

Hi, Mari, Don't know how old the children are, this estimate assumes elementary school or younger. Count this group as 1/2 of 100. This is what I would do:
2 gallons chicken salad plus about 4 pounds bread or 4 dozen sandwich rolls I would switch the fettucine to rotini or bow ties, much easier for kids and picnickers to eat, about 3 pounds dry noodles plus add ins. I would definitely do fruit trays- 1/2 the deluxe tray for 100 would be about right, see the fruit tray page. Lemonade would be an excellent choice, doesn't stain if spilled, about 4 gallons, plus about 3 gallons of unsweetened tea. |
