How much pulled barbecue would I need If I minced it myself to feed over 25 people?

Question

I am throwing a weddingrehearsall dinner and wanted to do a western one with barbecue, chicken, beans, cole slaw, etc. Any ideas? Plus the question on the barbecue.

Answer 1

I'm thinking that you should buy about 7 pounds of meat.  I used around 10 lbs. of boston butt pork roasts with bone in and I fed probably around 40 people.  Kind of figure about 4 or 5 sandwiches out of each pound.  I think your meal sounds good.  If you are having chicken along with the pulled pork, you will probably not need as much.  Beans, cole slaw, maybe potato salad too?  Or deviled eggs.  Sounds like a nice dinner!

Answer 2

ifs its pulled its not minced ;)
