How do I determin how much side dishes to serve at a pigroast?
Answers:
I work at a catering service and we figure 1/2 cup per person in salads and such
Make the side dish a salad buffett and your guests will decide for you.
I would say figure about a cup per person. That way some could have aliitle more or alittle less and it should be enough. I would suggest serving atleast 2-3 side dishes so there is bound to be something for everyone and variety is nice, as well as the basics such as a veggie platter and fruit platter. Which I would figure is about 5 pcs per person. There is nothing worse than not having enough and people are afraid to eat because they feel bad about taking it all.
go to allrecipes.com and get some really great recipes. all recipes i have taken from this site were awesome. have recipe cards ready becuz people ask. They have serving suggestions and ways to increase the amount of salad you make. hope this helps ;)
Tell your guests they can bring a side dish to pass if they wish, you should get enough to cover everyone.
