[Sca-cooks] Intro and Newbie question - estimating meat portions

[Susan Fox]

I should think raw ounces.  You don't go to the butcher's and buy cooked 
ounces!  Not usually anyway.

Sounds like Eydis' feast could have had a built-in next-day meal built 
in, turning the cooked meat over to soup, stew or meatpies.
