How many brisket to feed 50 people?
Actually there are a few unknowns that the question does not explain – I will usually purchase 1 lb (trimmed) brisket per person. So if I am having 8 to 10 people to feed, I will prepare around 10 lbs. brisket – this might be two 5 lb. briskets as long as it adds up to roughly one pound per person (before cooking).
