This is dependent on how much each person consumes. There are 16 ounces in a pound. 2.5 pounds = 40 ounces. A head of lettuce typically weighs 12 ounces, which can usually be consumed by 3 - 4 people. SO, if a person consumes 3 ounces of lettuce in a sitting, and there are 40 ounces to be had...about 13 people can be fed.
if it's only lettuce, then 35 heads ish. could be less. depends on the lettuce, what you're making and how hungery the people are.
how many pounds of menudo to feed 10 people.
13 pounds
One head of lettuce should feed 8-10 people, so for 50 people factor 5-6 heads of lettuce.
This depends very much how fine it is shredded and pressed into cups. I would say about 12 pounds of lettuce.
Allow about a half pound per person. That means you would need about 25 pounds to feed 50 people.
That is 37.5 pounds.
3 pounds
I would get 20 pounds.
I would serve 11 pounds
