Hi
Planning a bbq/buffet for 60 - 70 and seeing all this great advice on quantities for veg and salads but all in gallons, which I'm struggling with ! Can anyone steer me into eights rather than volumes ?
Huge thanks !

Hi, Moira,

Weights are very tricky, for some things because, for example, a gallon of potato salad weighs differently depending on what goes into it. And of course, a gallon of spinach is quite different from a gallon of beans.

So, either use recipes here for 100, which do have weights for most ingredients (2/3 of 100 for 66, 3/4 for 75), or send a list of the specific items, OK?
