And let people help themselves, buffet or family style they’ll take what they actually want.” Count a carrot per person, maybe two potatoes per person. Only purchase what you will actually eat on the day or make leftovers from or you could always have back-ups prepped, but not cooked. “At Christmas we all tend to over-purchase our regular food as well, down to the bread and milk.
