How much cold cuts should I buy for 16 people?

How do you figure out how much cold cuts to purchase for sixteen people. It is for a boating party and will be used for lunch. Not much else will be available except perhaps chips

Answer #1

With nothing else to go with them, you should figure at least two sandwiches each and problely one slice of cheese, if you want a good sandwich. Therefore, you will need at least 64 slices of lunch meat and 32 slices of cheese. Also, don’t forget the ketchup, mustard and mayo.

Answer #2

The best thing to do is to go to a deli in a grocery store. Tell the deli workers that you need enough for 16 (or 20, just to be extra sure). Deli workers do this for a living and can prepare a nice platter or two for you.

Oh–and stuck on a boat with 16 people with nothing but chips and meat? No no no. I’d make it a potluck and ask everyone to bring a dish or snacks. Or if you don’t want to do that and you can afford it–just buy a bunch more to eat. Nothing wose than being stuck on a boat with no food.
