What about the vegetarians? |

+1 I exchange money for goods and services. If there is something innately objectionable about the good or service, then I may choose to avoid it. Otherwise, the exchange was made in good faith and the money I gave them is no longer mine to worry about, it’s theirs to do with as they wish. Does PP investigate the political leanings of every restaurant they go to? grocery store? every vendor in the local farmer’s market? Do they investigate the trucking company’s that brought the food to the store, the fuel company that supplies the gas for those trucks, the farmer who originally grew the food in the first place, the seed suppliers and farm equipment manufacturers? Somewhere, somebody who disagrees with the PP is almost certainly profiting from every purchase PP makes, whether or not CFA is involved. Personally, I tend to lean conservative (NOT MAGA). I like shopping at Penzey’s which very publicly advocates about political issues, generally with a liberal bias. On some topics we agree, but on others I strongly disagree with their position. Unless their position somehow affects the actual spice I want to buy, it really doesn’t bother me. I may sometimes think they’re wrong, but in a free country people and companies are allowed to be wrong. Moreover, whether I agree or disagree, I respect their commitment to advocate for what they perceive to be in America’s best interest. Like it or not, we are all one country and our society is complex and inexorably intertwined. We need to be able to work with each other (even when we disagree) with mutual courtesy and respect. Personally, I find it helpful to remember that I am fallible, and on any issue where I disagree with someone else, there is the possibility (however remote) that I might be wrong, or at least not the only one who is right (most issues are complex and aren’t that clear cut). |

For 100 people, she can't accommodate every restriction. Hopefully the menu will be posted in advance so people can bring their own food if needed. BUT for vegetarians specifically, there are some good recipes for lentil sloppy joes that I've used for large crowds with good reviews. You'll need a bunch of crock pots for 100 teens, though. Might be easier to cook ahead and transfer it to trays to reheat in the oven. |

| I've actually done this for a youth group. I did 4 pork shoulders, slow roasted and then shredded/pulled. I made a giant vat of slaw (shredded cabbage, carrot, red onion, celery seed, mustard, cider vinegar and a tiny bit of sugar), 2 crock pots full of baked beans (canned baked beans mixed with a couple of cans of kidney and black beans, some bbq sauce and mustard), buns, BBQ sauce, potato chips, pickles. I also made a tray of brownies, tray of blondies, and tray of pumpkin bars. If you want a vegetarian option, easiest is to put a bunch of veggie meatballs in a crockpot with bbq sauce. Everything can be made the day before and then warmed up and served on site. |

| There is no easy way to cook for 100 people. Just cater the main entree. Indian is good for this. Something vegetarian, something meat, big pans of rice. I’d make a couple platters of fresh cut veggies and homemade yogurt dip and ask a few people to bring desserts |

The only thing I can think of is tacos.
Make the meat, put it in slow cookers to stay warm. Buy vats of salsa, guac, etc. Buy tons of small tortillas. Set it up like a long assembly line. If there's any veggies, you can have a small bit of impossible meat or beans, everything else can stay the same. |

In my admittedly limited experience, Indian food is too spicy to serve to a crowd. There will always be some people who don’t like/can’t eat spicy food. If I’m wrong, please tell me what I should be ordering to get the flavors without the heat. |

What do you normally order? There are plenty of non-spicy foods, and almost all foods can be made with minimal spice. Like butter chicken isnt spicy. Pakoras arent spicy. Now, if you don't like spiced food, thats a different story. |

Taco bar is easiest - ground beef or shredded chix, beans, rice, shredded cheese, guac/salsa, chips. Good for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans.
Some have suggested pulled pork in a crockpot. I've done this for casual dinners at my house, but you have to know your audience. If you have Jewish or Muslims in your group, this won't work. |

Indian is too spicy. It’s more for an adult palette than kids/teens I think. I don’t know why people make things complicated . Kids have very pedestrian taste -pizza, nuggets and fries, tacos, burgers anything resembling fast food they’re familiar with would be a hit |
