You must've put in for leftovers. :-) I'd chosen no leftovers and got
a 1# per person calculation, regardless of how many people to fee. I
was curious to see if I'd put into a larger # of guests if the birdy
weight would go down due to there being a higher meat:bone ratio on the
big guys. I stopped at 20 guests and got 20 pound birdy.
