[Sca-cooks] Rice and servings

[Johnna Holloway]

Depends also on how many vegans and vegetarians are attending too.
If this is their main dish, they may in fact eat quite a bit of it and 
take away the leftovers with glee.

Kinda hard to say given its a number between 50 and 120 for the number 
of diners.
