I would  rather see the chicken soup, since the Netherlands hotpot is all 
red meat  (beef, venison, and lamb). Whole chickens work beautifully and 
are *way*  cheaper than boneless skinless breast meat. I've always 
figured on 1/3-1/4  lb of meat per person--and never once have I heard a 
complaint that there  wasn't enough meat. (And being the cheapskate 
Frisian that I am, I go  closer to the 1/4 lb...)

As for quantity: I upped the limit on Feast to  75, BUT--That includes up 
to 25 freebies for royals and entourage. That's  probably a high number 
but better safe than sorry. As I said in my  previous post, if we sell 30 
seats we'll break even--and that's what we  sold last year. It's really 
50 PAID feast seats plus the 25 over the  top.
