How many people will a pound of barbecue serve?

It's impossible to give you an exact number for how many people a pound of barbecue will serve. Here's why:

* Meat type: A pound of brisket will serve fewer people than a pound of pulled pork.

* Serving size: Are you planning on small appetizer portions or a full meal?

* Side dishes: If you're serving lots of sides, you might need less barbecue.

Here's a general guideline:

* 1 pound of barbecue can serve 2-3 people as a main dish.

* If you're serving as an appetizer, 1 pound could serve 4-6 people.

To get a more accurate estimate:

1. Consider the type of meat: A fatty brisket will shrink more than lean pulled pork.

2. Think about the size of your guests: Are you serving adults or kids?

3. Factor in your side dishes: Will you be serving other main dishes or just barbecue?

Remember: It's always better to have a little extra than not enough!
