how many pies do i need to buy for twenty people and around how much will it be?

Question

i am in charge of bringing pie and champaign to a thanksgiving family reunion and there will be 20 people but i dont know how many to buy well thanks for taking your time to answer.

Answer 1

In normal sized servings, each pie should give at least 8 slices. (Where do these people who say only four or five slices to a pie live, and how much do they weigh? Yikes!)

After a huge Thanksgiving dinner many people only taste a small sliver of pie and don't eat a full slice, but you still might want to bring at least three to be safe, four if you want to be very generous about offering a variety of flavors. And the kind of pie you are bringing does make a difference. You can get 10-12 slices out of a very rich deep dish pumpkin custard, for example, because people just can't eat that much of it.

Answer 2

If each person is supposed to have 1 slice of pie, go with 5 pies. There will be leftovers, but you are also allowing for some people having seconds.
If you make the pies yourself it will be much cheaper, but buying them will free up some of your time. If you really need 5 pies, I would call the store ahead of time and ask what they charge for fresh pies.

Answer 3

A normal serving of each pie should be 5 slices each.
4 pies for 20 people..

Answer 4

Well one pie is 6 to 8 slices so I suggest bringing at least 2 Im sure there will be plenty of other desserts.

Answer 5

It depends.
Are all the people there the free-loader type that steal any free things they come across?
If so I'm thinking 10.
If not, I'm thinking around 3-5. Depending on the size of the pie you're talking about.

Answer 6

It depends who is on a diet, or eating Healthy. 4 pies will give a variety, and 5 will give leftovers.
