QUANTITIES TO SERVE 100

I found this list in an old church cookbook.  It lists quantities needed for serving 100 people.  I thought it interesting that it stated to serve 50 divide by 2 and to serve 25 divide by 4.  Evidently they didn't think women were very good in math!

  • 3 lbs coffee
  • 3 quarts cream
  • 4 pints whipping cream
  • 6 gallons milk
  • 2 1/2 gallons fruit cocktail
  • 5 gallons soup
  • 25 lbs weiners
  • 40 lbs ham
  • 30-36 lbs hamburger
  • 35 lbs potatoes
  • 5 gallon baked beans
  • 10 loaves bread
  • 3 lbs butter
  • 12 quarts potato salad
  • 18 pies
  • 8 cakes
  • 4 gallons ice cream
  • 3 lbs cheese
  • 2 quarts pickles
  • 3 lbs assorted nuts
