The “I’m buying premade tubs of sides for a lot of people” thread

[luke duke 6413]

Cooking chicken and sausage for about 40 guys next weekend.  If the only side we have is potato salad, how much of it do you think we need?  Just about everyone there will mostly be concerned with drinking too much.

 

[gyroprotagonist 2594]

3-3.5lbs per person.  See my " I'm selling premade tubs of potato salad for a lot of people" thread.

I'm thinking about finding a company that sells cement trucks full of potato salad.  That way I can keep it well mixed and it won't seize up on us.

just in case this is a serious question, go with the serving size suggestion on the nutritional facts label.

Nah. Then you'll have mashed potato salad which is ok but not what you want here. You want a nice waxy potato like a Yukon Gold. No mustard but maybe a hint of dill. 

1 pint per 3 people if that's all you're having as a side. Just a guess.

It was a serious question at one point, but has since take a turn for the Surly.

There is no such thing as a stupid question.  Only stupid people, who ask questions.

 

 

[utee94 15835]

Oh, and PM Sysco Foods.

Alternatively, PM US Foods.

Is White Swan still around?

 

 

 

(Answering my own question, no, they merged/acquisition with US Foods in 1993.  So cross them off, then.

Wait....do you not have access to 1) a grocery store that sells the frozen trays of Luby's mac and cheese and 2) an oven?

Alternate question, if you answer those wrong -- are you a commie who hates America and freedom?

[kevwun 15806]

We do not have an oven onsite.  This is all mainly an excuse to drink with some skeet shooting mixed in.

[conVINCEd 21469]

It ain’t that hard to make a big pot of beans.  

[kevwun 15806]

It's not, but we are putting as little effort as possible in to the food.

Then hire a stripper to pick up and deliver a shitload of tator tots from Sonic.  Winning all the way around.

Do we have to tip the strippers if they don’t wear rollerskates?

Buy half as much food as you need, put it on a little table in the middle of everybody. Find out who really wants it.

Skip the sides and spend the money on booze. No matter what they say, the guys will want more booze.

Ha.  We've been taking Luby's frozen mac 'n cheese to every family potluck dinner for years now.  Cook it, put it it in a different bowl, claim it's yours.  It kicks ass.

[Underdog 28724]

Used to do the same with Bill Miller BBQ, then we stopped getting invited to potlucks.
