2.5 pounds of meat and about 2 pounds of veg for 1 pound of bread?

I have made more than several of Cara's recipes and they are always spot on and delicious. They are meat centric, but then so am I. :) I like to follow recipes as written (especially from a trusted source) before making any changes, but you could always change the amounts of ingredients to your liking. Stuffings are pretty forgiving.

I don't know the weight of the veg, only the number of pieces. Not entirely sure what the question is here.
