How many people should 32 whole chickens 5 large briskets and 14 slabs pork ribs feed?

* Serving size: How much chicken, brisket, and ribs does each person typically eat? This varies greatly by appetite and occasion.

* Sides: Will there be other food besides the meat (like salads, vegetables, etc.)? This affects how much meat people will consume.

* Leftovers: Do you want to have enough for leftovers?

To get a better estimate, consider:

* Chicken: A whole chicken can serve 2-4 people depending on the size of the chicken and appetite.

* Brisket: A large brisket can feed 10-15 people if sliced thin.

* Pork Ribs: A slab of ribs typically serves 2-3 people.

Let's use the average of these estimates:

* Chicken: 32 chickens * 3 people/chicken = 96 servings

* Brisket: 5 briskets * 12.5 people/brisket = 62.5 servings

* Ribs: 14 slabs * 2.5 people/slab = 35 servings

Total: 96 + 62.5 + 35 = 193.5 servings

It's a rough estimate, but this suggests you could feed about 190-200 people.

To get a more accurate answer, think about:

* Your guests: How hungry are they likely to be?

* The occasion: Is it a casual BBQ or a formal dinner?

* Your comfort level: Would you rather have too much food than not enough?
