I always serve food 'family style' and if I have a lot of people I will
have for (example) dishes of green bean casserole dotted along the table.
No need to be passing from one end to the other. That way too you don't
need one huge dish of each and the various small dishes fit nicely on the
table. Each set of dishes to serve 4 or 6 diners. I hate buffets.
