Cheap Food For Family Reunions

So you have 40 relatives ready to attend your family
reunion. What are you going to do about food? The biggest
issue is, where is all of that food going to come from in
the first place and who is going to pay for it.

The organizer of the reunion is just that. The organizer.
They shouldnt be expected to provide food and drinks for
everybody by themselves.

You will need to consult the heads of each family to get an
idea of what to do. You might have to use a majority rule
type of system because people dont often agree on what to
eat.

Restaurants and caterers are very expensive so here are a
couple alternatives.

Barbecue is one of the cheapest and most fun ways to feed
any large group of people. Almost everyone has a grill they
can load up and take to a park and if not, they know
someone who will loan them one.

Barbecues are great because of the many options you can
cook at the same time. You can cook ribs, hamburgers, hot
dogs, chicken, fish, and even vegetables right on the
grill.

This is a great way to please almost everyone. Vegetarians
may be left out but you can grill them some corn on the cob
or they can bring some veggie burgers.

A potluck is a great way to go if you dont feel like
barbecuing and everyone lives relatively close to each
other.

Far away relatives wont be able to contribute much so this
is best for families that live within 100 miles of each
other.

The airlines are pretty strict these days and having
Grandma bring her famous Jell-O salad from New Jersey just
isnt an option.
