The amount of food you plan for your party can change depending on the time of day, type of food, or even by the people attending. (Have you seen teenagers eat?) But as a general rule, consider these suggestions for individual portions:
Starters: Appetizers or snacks should consist of two to three portions per person
- 3 ounces of dip or salsa (about 1/3 cup per person)
- One cup of soup (less if it's a thick soup, like chowder)
- 3 ounces of salad (about 1 cup)
- 6 ounces of meat or main entrée
- 5 ounces of starch (potato, pasta, or rice)
- One and a half pieces of dessert
~Sample shopping list based on a guest list of 10 people.~
Chicken, beef, fish, or pork
- 4 pounds
Potato or pasta salads
- 3 pounds of potatoes
- 1 pound of dry pasta
Hot Dogs or sausage (main dish)
- 20 hot dogs
Shellfish
- Shrimp: 2 to 3 pounds, pre-cooked and peeled, or three pounds if raw and unpeeled
- Clams and mussels: 2 pounds
Soups and stews
- One half gallon, if served as an appetizer
- One gallon, if served as a main dish
Green salads
- Two to three large heads of lettuce, or 2 pounds green salad mix
- 3 cups of dressing
Punch, the perennial crowd pleaser
- One gallon for every 10 guests
Beer, wine and cocktails
- Two drinks per person, per hour is a good guesstimate
