How many pounds of Mission BBQ for 4 adults, 2 kids?

[Anonymous]

Seriously— 2 lbs would feed everyone. I’d probably get 3 for extra/leftovers and variety but 4 lbs for 6 people is unnecessary

Not having more than enough food is real tacky. Ordering out when you invite ppl is tacky also but obviously you do you.

I'd get more than that because my kids are teen boys, but if OP is correct and these are average eaters, I think the average eater isn't gong to eat more than 2 sandwiches.

3 sandwiches per adult! No wonder we have an obesity crisis.

This. 3 lbs is half a pound per person - that's a lot, and two of them are kids! If you have good sides, I doubt you'll even go through 2 lbs (but I would also get 3 just to be sure).

If intention is everyone will make sandwiches, 3 pounds would be ok. I’d personally get 4 because I’d be paranoid about running out and I’m happy to have the leftovers.

A pound of meat per adult??? I get a lb of brisket from rocklands and we get at least four sandwiches out of it.

Adults do not eat a pound of meat! Think about a quarter pounder.

You need to have extra. It’s the worst (as a guest) when you want seconds or more than you can politely take because there’s obviously not enough food. Plus sometimes kids eat more than you expect them to.

Seconds as a guest? Oh my.

I’m the PP. Not making assumptions about you, I come from a non-white culture and it would be embarrassing beyond belief as a host not to have enough for guests to take seconds. Guest are always well fed at my house!

I just wouldn't be rude enough to gorge myself on seconds when I was a guest.

Such a strange way to limit yourself in life. The food is there to be enjoyed. Don’t be so self conscious!

Gross.

This is a case where the cost is so low to avoid the risk. I would go with more meat and assume that someone avoiding carbs may make a platter but not a sandwich. Or maybe the brisket is great, but one person likes chicken. The food will get eaten, so waste is not the worry. You're worried about being so precise about a situation where precision is not needed and a little more is a little more generous. Don't be controlling over other people's appetites!

No, its being health conscious. I don't need 3 sandwiches, that is... beyond what an average adult needs to consume.

So calling it rude to take seconds was just for fun when you really meant unhealthy? Ok.

I don’t think it is unhealthy or rude to take seconds of a meal, no. And when I am hosting it makes me happy to see people go back for more. I certainly wouldn’t fine it rude if people enjoyed the food I provided.

I find it more unhealthy to not trust yourself around food - it is a sign of disordered eating.
