If you don't want leftovers I'd def see if you can ask for baggies/containers for guests to take extra's home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881619 Mon, 22 Apr 2019 08:48:53 +0000 DesertDreams88 2881619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the difference in your thinking vs several replies is whether the guests will treat the nuggets as a main meal or as a side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881550 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 18:08:34 +0000 SweetCaroline 2881550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely order the large tray. It's awful when parties run out of food and I dread going to any future parties by the same host because of food/meal logistics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881544 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 16:19:06 +0000 MsMini 2881544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would order the large tray for sure </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881512 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 06:48:02 +0000 crazydoglady 2881512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Just cool them down completely in the fridge, pat out any condensation with a paper towel, put in a ziplock bag and you are done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881510 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 06:20:11 +0000 PinkElephant 2881510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I’d get the large and send extras hike with guests. Typically I think leftover party food is gross, but I’d probably accept Chik-Fil-A nuggets 😛. Also, their nuggets are small - my 5 and 7 year olds eat six piece meals when we order, but they always volunteer to help their sister with her leftovers and would probably take more given the opportunity- ie not closely supervised at a party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881493 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 21:42:30 +0000 Purpledaisy 2881493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely get the large. Better to have too much than not enough. And I can eat like 20 nuggets by myself :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881491 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 21:31:45 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2881491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: I think when I send out a reminder about the party I’ll throw in a request for a firm head count for each family. CFA may be okay with a Medium tray and then tacking on 2 of their 12-count. Price per nugget goes up but I wouldn’t have to worry about having so much more than I really need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881490 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 21:26:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2881490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: do you know first hand they freeze well? I just put them in a gallon zip loc freezer bag? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881478 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 18:47:23 +0000 Pollywog 2881478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My estimate is you'll need 140-160 nuggets. Definitely go for a large. I hate food waste, but I also just came from a lunch party for 22 where we seriously underestimated the food needed. You'd rather have lunch than hungry guests </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881476 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 18:26:50 +0000 LadyDi 2881476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a large tray and had around 10-12 kids ages 2-6 and probably 25 adults. I think we had a handful of nuggets left at the end but we did have a lot of other food. You’d probably be ok with medium, especially if less adults come...I just wouldn’t underestimate people’s love for CFA nuggets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881464 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 16:00:32 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2881464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: please share specifics on your Christmas party. how many guests? Which size tray? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881462 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 15:49:50 +0000 LadyDi 2881462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We order a CFA nugget tray every year for a Christmas party that we throw and my experience is that they all get eaten and are usually the first thing to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881455 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 15:06:48 +0000 crazydoglady 2881455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Order large and freeze the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cfa-nuggets#post-2881449 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 14:37:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2881449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many nuggets? </p> <p>120-count (medium tray)<br /> 200- count (large tray)</p> <p>6 kids age 2.5-3 yrs old<br /> 4 kids age 7-12 yrs old<br /> 13 adults (low side)<br /> 17 adults (high side) </p> <p>This is if everyone who RSVP’d shows at the same time my adult count is only a guesstimate because I don’t know if one parent or two will show for some of the kids.</p> <p>We will also have fruit, pasta salad, and goldfish for lunch and for sweets popsicles and birthday cake. Stated party time is 10 am to noon at the same time we have the space until 3 pm. If we and others want to linger and snack we can.</p> <p>CFA kids meal nuggets are sold 4 and 6-count and the adult meals come in an 8-count. </p> <p>Besides the costs difference between the two CFA nugget size options I really don’t want to have leftover food. What size party tray would you get? </p> <p>Medium 120- count or Large 200 count </p>
