How many lbs of pork would it take to feed 250 people a sandwich?

It's impossible to give an exact number of pounds of pork needed for 250 sandwiches without more information. Here's why:

* Sandwich size: Are these small sliders, hearty Cuban sandwiches, or something in between?

* Pork cut: Are you using lean pork loin, fatty pulled pork, or something else?

* Other ingredients: A sandwich with just pork will require less meat than a sandwich with additional fillings.

Here's how to estimate:

1. Determine the average sandwich size: Figure out how much pork you'd put in a typical sandwich for your event.

2. Estimate the amount of pork per pound: This depends on the cut you choose. For example, a pound of pulled pork will yield more servings than a pound of pork loin.

3. Calculate total pork needed: Multiply the average amount of pork per sandwich by the number of people (250). This will give you a rough estimate of the total pounds of pork you need.

Example:

* Average sandwich size: 3 ounces of pork per sandwich.

* Pork cut: Pulled pork, yielding about 8 servings per pound.

* Total pork needed: (3 ounces/sandwich) x (250 sandwiches) = 750 ounces of pork needed.

* Pounds of pork needed: (750 ounces) / (16 ounces/pound) = 46.875 pounds of pulled pork.

Always overestimate: It's best to overestimate slightly to ensure you have enough pork. You can always freeze any leftover pork for later use.
