How much gravy for 40?

Here is a general guideline for how much gravy to make:

* Appetizer: ½ cup of gravy per person

* Main course: ¾ cup of gravy per person

* Buffet: 1 cup of gravy per person

* Family-style meal: 1½ cups of gravy per person

Of course, these are just estimates and the amount of gravy you need will vary depending on the preferences of your guests. Some people may want more gravy while others may want less. If you are unsure of how much gravy to make, it is always better to err on the side of caution and make more than you think you will need.

Here are some additional tips for making gravy for a large crowd:

- Make the gravy ahead of time and reheat it before serving. This will help to save time on the day of the event.

- If you are making a meat-based gravy, be sure to skim the fat off the top before serving.

- Add some flavor enhancers to your gravy, such as herbs, spices, or a splash of wine.

- Serve the gravy in a gravy boat so that your guests can help themselves.
