Thank you
ellen 04/30/13	Joan, when you serve 2 choices of something (salad, meats) on a buffet, people often take some of each and thus eat more. You also can't divide by 1/2; you have to divide by preference or usual eating choices. And the total ends up MORE than 1 serving per person because of the choice issue above. 1/2 beet orange salad- do 50 servings 1/2 Greek tomato cucumber salad- do 90 servings Scalloped potatoes-60 pounds potatoes Asparagus- 30 pounds ready to serve, which is about 40-42 pounds as purchased 1/2 white wine chicken- 1 piece chicken per person for everyone 1/2 baby back ribs- 2 ribs per person for everyone A meat tray- 1 pound per 10 fruit tray- see fruit tray page- do deluxe tray for 100, add some strawberries or melons. Zucchini boats-1.5 per person Crostini with goat cheese-1.5 per person And sausage bites- 1 pound per 6 If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please consider a donation, maybe a dime per person, to support the site.
