Bacon wrapped pickled watermelon rinds (3-4)

Pineapple Gems (3-4)

pre-packaged in ziplock bags

bagged in brown paper school lunch bags

grab & go

prob 22-25 people

    Yes on the pork butts.  Most people recommend about 2/3 pound of precooked meat per person.

    My math on the pulled pork is... Multiple the raw weight by 2.4. that gives you (approximately) the number of quarter pound servings the meat yields.

    2 8lbs butts yields about 38.4 quarter pound servings.

    Just don't forget about shrinkage and the final weight.

    The multiplier assumes 40% shrinkage.

    0.6/.25 = 2.4
