Answer 1

20 should do it.

Answer 2

I normally figure 1/4 pound of meat per person when planning large parties and always have some left over. Remember you will most likely have some people that will not eat meat. You can also use boneless hams, not canned, and get more servings from each ham. You can also have them pre-sliced or order them sliced very thin.

Answer 3

You only need two (2) hams cut very thin. With all the other trimmings you are preparing, there will be enough ham to go around. What would be unusual would be to bake 10 (ten) turkey legs in the same roaster pan as your large turkey, then give the large turket lets to the men or give them to the children. Try it.. it is different. Have you tried a deep-fried turkey?

Answer 4

Not sure what size the canned ham comes in, but I'd figure 2-4 oz. per person.

Answer 5

There is a pig farm in Shropshire where you could purchase two decent size pigs and have them slaughtered and cut to your specification and it would work out cheaper and more beneficial than buying canned ham.

Answer 6
