50 lbs of beef for a 100 person feast and the very cheesy bread on the first 
remove, along with the salmon and possibly chicken loaf on the third should 
do them very well.  In the past if I have offered more meat it was just 
barely ate.  Or they got so full they had trouble staying awake. (wait that 
happens at all my feasts) 
Also we are a small shire with small budgets, I have trouble justifying a lot 
of meat, I've never seen evidence that everyday people ate a lot of meat, 
Same soap box I have for little squares of yellow cheese.  Expensive, 
wasteful and I doubt it was period.  I do like soft flavored cheese.  I'm 
also blessed with a friend who has done the research and has won renown for 
her soft flavored cheese.  They tell me it is wonderful.  I can't have any 
mammals milk so I don't know.  Alvira
