Go and buy



5 rolls and 2 sausages.

Hmmm it should be enough.

Are you suggesting that Tarlox could do the 'loaves and fishes' trick with 'loaves and sausages'??

Well..............'tis the season...

I think you should just go for the tinned worms.

Where's wood BUTCHER when you need him?..

You gotta be kidding... if its just sausages and onion in bread the real aussie bloke would go 5-6 easy!

Being a Butcher (of meat not wood) we always said that 2 for adults, (most ladies have only 1) and 1 for the kiddies (what the ladies don't eat is seconds for the others), then with the other munchies, chips and cheese and dips it keeps all happy and drinking add a few extras 12 say and cook these if it looks like they'll all go, if not it's tomorrows brekkie. I've done it this way and it's been good every time, all happy, no waste!...And before anyone says they didn't come back cos' they starved to death on the way home, they did come back and they didn't starve.

hi Tarlox,
speaking as a former president of a Lions Club, and catering for crowds in that capacity. i would say that if you allow 2 per adult and one per child, up to about 12 years old, that would be enough if they are paying for what they eat, if they arent paying for it add 10 to 20%

from memory there are about 13 sausages per kg so 10 kg should be more than enough - order that and freeze the leftovers. about 18 slices to a loaf - get 7, 2 kg of onions, 2 tubs of margarine and there will be enough and a bit left over for you, but not too much.

have a nice party

Thanks Doug

I knew there would be a Lions club BBQ guru on this site.

no probs Tarlox, just remember its a rule of thumb, sometimes reality doesnt follow the rules, but its the best guide we have, hope it helps out

Tarlox,

Just a quick follow-up. So how many did you need? How many did silents have?

Most importantly how many baskets of leftover did you collect?

Thanks for the interest Wongo.

I ended up buying 9kg of thin sausages. (about 130 snags). about 15 medium onions and 7 dozen bread rolls.

It was pretty close to the mark with about 30 snags and 15 rolls left over. Just enough for breaky and lunch the next day.

Thanks to every one for ther input.

Tarlox

Judged it nicely then. The dog should be able to clean up the leftovers and look ill without actually being so

Lucky me and my mates didnt turn up... there wouldnt be any sanga's left!
