Mark, you have sure left this late.
Your meat platter- 1 pound for each 3 people= 16 pounds total. An assortment of deli sliced ham, turkey breast, salami, add roast beef if feeling flush.
Sliced cheese plate too, cheddar, jack, swiss,possibly a little pepperjack: 10 pounds total.
12 pounds sausage, 3 pounds each peppers and onions.
6 heads lettuce plus cukes, carrots, tomatoes, croutons, 2 quarts dressing- get bottles- ranch, low cal italian, blue cheese, honey mustard, maybe raspberry vinegrette.

I am having an afternoon picnic for about 50. I am serving sausage & peppers and chili. How much sausage will I need? Guests will be bringing other sides. Please help. They are hungry bikers and I do not want to run out of food. Thanks

Minimum I would plan is 1 pound sausage for each 3 people, since you will also have chili, If it was just suasge you woud want 1 pound for each 2 people.

30 each on the subs. 1 3/4-2 gallons pasta salad, about the same on 3 bean. don't forget grated Parm on the condiment table for the sandwiches.

I am planning fruit trays for 400 people. How
much fruit should I purchase? Other food will also be served. Thanks.

See the fruit tray article. For a light tray, you want 5 "bites" per person. For a regular size tray, you want about 8 bites, use the quantities on the fruit tray for 25, since you want 16 times this amount you can substitute in some other fruits.

1/2 the amounts for 100. See the plan for 100 page for salad and the the baked potato bar for help on the taco bar.
