Chicken (canned or whole)
Craisins
Celery
Onion
Mayo
Walnuts

There will be other meat.

18 pounds diced chicken meat, which is 36 cups; 36 pounds whole
10 pounds celery
3 cups finely chopped parsley
about 6 cups top grade mayo
about 1 cup lemon juice (can also use light vinegar, not balsamic)
2 cups onions (chopped shallot or green onion, even nicer)
about 9 cups of walnuts
about 9 cups of craisins
