3. Constructing the Provision List
After you have set up menus for the desired number of meals, then comes the job of deciding just
how much of each item should appear on the provision list. Let's consider a few items:
BACON
How many persons will one pound of bacon serve? For a breakfast where it is a main item, 3 is
a good estimate. So, if you have 18 persons in your group and you list bacon as a major item for 7 meals,
a little arithmetic gives the answer. |
