At this point, to feed 400 people, I have planned:
25 pounds of Danish meatballs (beef)
25 pounds of pork sausages
80 pounds of roasted chicken thighs
15 doz. hard-boiled eggs
15 pounds cheddar cheese
15 pounds Monterey Jack cheese
24 pounds savoury toasted cheese

Plus the usual bread, beverages, fruit, spreads, sauces, and veggies.
Considering the change in the weather, I've decided against hot soup, but I
may make a small quantity of a bean dish for any vegans attending.

That's about 8 oz. of protein per person, but there will be a lot of hungry
fighters, and the attendence may go over 400.  Mudthaw is a popular event,
and this one will be a RP.  I'm used to the security of planning a feast, when
I know exactly how many people I'm cooking for, and don't have to worry
about anyone going hungry.

Thanks for the suggestions.
