ELEPHANT STEW

Contributed by Uncle Keith - and I'll bet you didn't think I'd include this, did you?

INGREDIENTS

1 medium sized elephant 1 ton salt 1 ton pepper 500 bushels potatoes 200 bushels carrots 4000 sprigs parsley 2 small rabbits (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Cut elephant meat into bite size pieces (this will take about two months). Cut vegetables into cubes (another two months). Place meat in a pan; cover with 1000 gallons of brown gravy. Simmer for 4 weeks. Shovel in salt and pepper to taste. When meat is tender, add vegetables (a steam shovel is useful for this). Simmer slowly for 4 more weeks. Garnish with parsley. This will serve 3800 people; if more are expected, add 2 rabbits. This, however, is not recommended, as very few people like hare in their stew.
