calculator?
I'm looking for some direction.
Let's say you were doing an event and expected to feed say around 1,000 servings of sliced pork sandwiches or brisket. How much pork/brisket would you need and what size servings are suggested? What portion/weight are you using for brisket/pulled pork sandwich?

The site where the spreadsheet is blocked for me. You could try OpenOffice. It's a free Office alternative.
Anyways, I believe that I read that a good serving size was about 1/4 - 1/3 pound of meat. Assuming 1/4 pound, you'll need 250lbs of cooked pork/brisket. Assuming 1/3 pound, you'll need 334lbs of cooked pork/brisket. IIRC, pork butts lose about 50% of their weight, so you'd need 500lbs of pork for 1/4lb servings and 668lbs for 1/3lb servings. Brisket the math gets a little harder. IIRC, Briskets lose about 40% of their weight, so you need 416lbs for 1/4lb servings and 556lbs for 1/3lbs servings. My math may be off, so double check it.

British Pork legs are fresh hams from what I see and not butts, so the ratios given above may not apply.

Instead of the leg, look for the Pork Shoulder.
