The amount of a dish you need per person depends very much on how 
many different dishes you are doing. Our usual rule of thumb is to 
add up all the meat in all the dishes we are serving, and figure that 
for the main meal of the day it should come to about half a pound per 
person. Take that down a bit if you have a lot of eggs, lentils, 
etc.--things that substitute for meat.
