Buffet Menu for 50

This menu was for a funeral buffet.  The Ward payed for the meat and provolone ($30.00).  The rest came from 23 wonderful volunteers. It was beautiful.  Alas, I took no pictures.

2 lbs ham $4.00/pound (prepackaged)

1 lbs roast beef $7.00/pound (sliced from the deli)

1 bottle green olives - $3.29

Created three meat platters (about 9x13 ovals).  Left side layered rows of rolled turkey, right side layered rows of rolled ham, pile of roast beef in middle, olives along bottom edge, garnish with parsley.

1.5 lb provolone $6.76 (prepackaged)

1 lb pepper jack ~$4.50 (sliced from deli)
