Ellen says "allow at least 2 pounds raw well trimmed for each 5 people and I go for 2 pounds for 4 if they are heavy eaters or it is self serve." SOURCE: http://www.ellenskitchen.com/forum/messages/8118.html
Maybe one or two or more people, depending on how hungry they are. Answer Should feed 6 to 8 people at the rate of almost 1/2 lb apiece. Serve other foods, like potatoes and cabbage to fill in the edges.
YES YES YES, there is so much flavor in the juice from the package, I put the brisket and all the juice in the pot, then the spice package and then enough water to cover the brisket. I also use this water to cook my cabbage in, the spices give the cabbage such a wonderful flavor. Enjoy
1/4 lb. per person 100lb. should be enough
Storage temperature below 0 deg F, years if you dont mind frostburn on the meat - the taste will be blander but nutritionally should be good.
When deciding how much meat to include in a meal, consider other side dishes. For the average serving, you'll need 4oz for a sandwich, 6 oz for a plate. For 300 people, that is 75 pounds cooked. Because of a 40-50% shrinkage depending on cooking time (and fat trimmed), you would need up to half the weight again--which adds up to about 112 lbs.
It depends, how many cookies did the 10 year old eat?.. Answer Probably 1/3 lb of cooked meat is plenty per person if you also serve other food. That would be 30 lbs of meat, but you should probably round up a few pounds to be sure there is enough--maybe 35 lbs.
Try to get it to 145F and into your lunch box before your neighbor comes back out of the house to check on his Brisket..Hurry & DENY! Chance Rakkasan..101st ABN Div Vietnam....

Cooking Corned beef should usually take about 4 hours on an average or until the beef is already fork-tender. It is important not to forget to skim the foam occasionally while boiling the meat. Hope this helps.
I would get 20 pounds.
no , it is not What planet did you come from? Corned beef was corned for a reason. To preserve, back in the days when there was no such thing as a refrigerator. You can leave have a corned beef brisket in the fridge for 8 months past its expiration date and it will probably taste even better. The one that said no must be a hypochondriac or working for the FDA (who puts expiration dates on everything because it is law). Corning beef is to preserve it, not a steak you "woops left out" better throw the steak away...
There should be about 100 pounds of turkey for 100 people. There should be a pound of turkey for each person.
