Sausage question.

[dontmalbeconme]

6 people coming round for sausages round the fire pit. Two men with large appetites, 1 man and 3 women with regular appetites. Only sausages, buns and fried onions being served. A range of sausages from toulouse style, chorizo style, cumberland, hotdog, bratwurst etc. Drinking will be involved.

How many sausages should I buy? And how many hot dog buns?

Money isnt an issue, and I have plenty of freezer space.

I'm currently up to 96 sausages and 24 buns (plus 2kg of onions and all the sauces). That's ridiculous, no? I need to join over-caters anonymous!

@dontmalbeconmehow did it go? My whole family have been guessing how many sausages got eaten. Max estimate was about 40 but v keen to be proven wrong!

No opinion on the number of sausages, but it sounds bloody glorious food wise - sausages and crumble, what’s not to like.

It went brilliantly, a wonderful night with great friends.

My lovely friends all turned up with contributions of...sausages! Suffice to say, the emergency sausages were not required!

My heart is full of happiness, and my freezer is full of sausages!

🤣😂🤣 all the sausages!! Sounds like a brilliant night. Toad in the hole, sausage pasta, and lots and lots of mash and jackets loom on your happy horizon!

I need to know how many rolls were consumed - think of it as a public service announcement for over caterers 🤣

Me too , you bring the relish I will bring the fried mushrooms 😁

I know the answer to this one! I bought 24 rolls, then bought an extra 6, so 30 in total. All that is left is one half used packet of 6, and nobody brought rolls with them. So 30 rolls was just about right for 8 people.

I just want to say I'm veggie and crap at catering so shouldn't comment but your firepit sausages and beer evening sounds really nice. Viking-y.

So, having given it some thought, if someone is hosting a similar event for 8 people (including 2 huge rugby players and 2 older teens with hollow legs), the correct amount of hotdog rolls is about 30, and the correct amount of sausages is around 60. This should allow for sausages for breakfast for those who never made it home...

Perfect thank you. This should be pinned somewhere.

Can you do a series? Perhaps a seasonal variation on how much turkey per person? Much obliged 😉

American corn dogs don't have cheese. Korean corn dogs have cheese. It's a horrible Korean thing.

No sausage on cheese in any country or continent!

My husband and sons would happily demolish 6 each. I'd have 2.
