*rolls eyes* My experience with dayboards proves that there is no such
thing as intuitive portion control. I made sausage rolls (huge ones, the
size of apple dumplings almost) for my first dayboard. I was told to
expect 200 or so people, so I made 400 rolls. People took 2 and three and
when they could eat all of them, DUMPED THEM IN THE TRASH! I sent out 50
rolls to the field for the fighters, and the MOL spent years bitching that
I didn't send out enough rolls for the fighters. Never again did I put out
all the stuff I had at once. If there are only 20 of something out at
once, people only take 1.

(Apparently at War camp people in line were griping because there wasn't
as much set out at once so they couldn't feel comfy loading up a huge
plate at once-- they had to come back for seconds. Well, yes. Cut cheese
gets manky after an hour sitting in your shade pavilion! Then you throw it
out! Icky!)
