Question: Would you serve a cornish hen with a ham for Easter!? Or is the ham enough!? I am feeding 4 people!.!?
Answers:
The ham will be plenty, but if you wanted to have some variety, then go ahead and make a hen, as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That depends!. When I was growing up we always had a ham for Easter, ( and a turkey and a leg of lamb and lasagna!! ) but we never ate ham as an entree!. It was always just something that we might have had a slice of along with our dinner!. Then sandwiches and snacks all week! I would serve a hen on each plate, and have the ham on the table for "self service"
So, to answer your question, a ham of the right size would be enough if this is going to be the meat for your main course!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The ham would probably be plenty!. One cornish hen would not be enough for 4 people -- usually if you are only serving cornish hens, and no other meat, you would allow one cornish hen per person!.

I think the ham, along with a potato dish (or other starchy dish) and a vegetable dish, and of course hot rolls and butter would be a great meal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think you are thinking about a "capon" hen!. Cornish hens are very small and one per person is usually served for a dinner!. Capons are much larger, but would not feed 4 people unless you are baking ham too!.

You really don't need chicken and ham unless someone does not like ham!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Consigli, unless you like leftovers, I would do or one or the other!. Unfortunately I went out a bought some grain fed free range spatch cocks, only to find I have been rostered on to work!. Darn hard luck isn't it!? lol

you would have to make 4 (or at least two if you cut them in half) but that would be nice!. What I am doing is cooking a turkey breast and making some gravy ahead of time so it is not too much of a hassleWww@FoodAQ@Com

both would be overkill!. Like serving ham and turkey for christmas!

I would make the cornish hens if I were you!. They are a better treat!. 2! half a hen for each person!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A nice ham would go well for Easter dinner!. I would serve the ham!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I WOULD DO BOTH I DO I FEED 5 AND ITS MORE THEN ENOUGH ANY LEFT OVER SAVE IT FOR SUPPER NEXT NIGHT OR LUNCH OR WHATEVER U CAN EVEN HAVE THEM TAKE SOME HOMEWww@FoodAQ@Com
