Soup, bread, fruit, meat is probably your best bet. 20 regular vienna-size
loaves from your bakery should be fine (if you get them cheap enough, get
25). About a pound of butter. If you serve veggies, about 5-6 lbs of
carrots cut up, about 3 bunches celery cut up.
About 3 20-qt pots of soup will be plenty. Do one veggie and 2 meat. I
have a chicken soup that would work.
Chicken is your cheapest meat if you can get boneless thighs; ham and beef
are easier to work with though and more appreciated. I'd say total meat
should be around 15-20 lbs, unless you do all soup.
Buy small eggs in the 2.5 doz pkgs-- get 2 or 3-- and hardboil.
About 5 lbs each of apples and pears should be fine. Buy the pears now,
put them in a basket and let them ripen. Don't jiggle them after they
ripen!
If you want citrus, reduce the apples and pears and get a case or two of
clementines.
You probably won't need a whole gallon of dill pickles but people do eat
dill pickles and you can usually get a gallon for $3 (get the whole ones
and have someone cut them) Bread & butter pickles are a luxury, so are
olives & pickled mushrooms.
If you have bread and meat, you can serve sauces such as Brighid's cider
sauce, or garlic sauce, or aquapatys, or Sauce for pigeons. Cameline and
Black grape sauces are good on bread too.
Cheese: 10 lbs is a good number if you are having meat out. Don't go below
10 lbs.
