Hi Ellen I will be having my son's 3rd birthday party in August (always thinking ahead). But we usually have 50-60 people attend (big family). I want to do something different than the usual burgers, brats and hot dog thing. I think by August everyone is sick of those items. I was thinking of doing a taco/nacho bar or doing shredded pork sandwiches.(have a great recipe for that) Do you have any other ideas that might be good? I would like to make this easier for me with having all of this food. I also thought about ordering hot roast beef/turkey meat from a place near by but that might be costly too. Any suggestions? |

Also for the pork, I have a recipe that calls for 5-7 lb of pork shoulder to make pulled pork sandwiches. About how much of that will be left over after trimming all the fat. Is it 1/2 lb per person enough? so a 7 lb pork shoulder could feed 12-14 people sound right? |

Both the ideas are good, and easier and tatsier than burgers and dogs. Also, see the baked potato bar and the sundae bar buttons on this site. Yes, a 7 pound well trimmed bone in shoulder roast is just about right for 12-14 people for sandwiches. |
