Questions
How are the amounts calculated?
They are rules of thumb, not exact science. At normal appetite we plan 6 wings and 2 pizza slices per adult, one big bag of chips per 5 people, one cup of dip per 4 people, two drinks each in the first hour and one per hour after that, one pound of ice per person, and two to three plates each. Kids count as half an adult for food.
What does the appetite setting change?
It scales wings and pizza. Light snacking gives three quarters of the normal amount, and 'this is dinner' gives a quarter more. Chips, dip, drinks and ice stay the same.
I am serving both wings and pizza. Is that too much?
The amounts assume you serve both alongside chips and dip. If you are serving only wings or only pizza as the main food, roughly double that one item.
What if guests are bringing food?
Lower the appetite setting by one, or reduce the adult count by the number of dishes being brought. It is better to have a little left over than to run out in the first half.
Does it work for other parties?
Yes. The same amounts work for any casual watch party, birthday or get-together where people graze for a few hours.
