Food

On the pork shoulder front... I am hosting a charity bike ride in a few weeks and planning burritos for dinner. Amongst all the other usual fillings, I will be doing bbq chicken thighs and also pulled pork Mexican style.

Anyone got any ideas on how big the pork shoulder needs to be to feed around 30-35 people, keeping in mind that half the meat intake will be from the chicken?

A 5kg shoulder (bone in) fed a Mexican food feast for about 12 as the main meat. You would be amazed at how much much cooks down as part of the process. Half meat for 35? Say 7kg as my best guess.

Have a look in the recipe thread for my carnitas recipe of you want mexican style pulled pork. That is the basis for my estimate. YMMV, T&Cs apply....
