1 medium sized elephant
2 rabbits (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
LOTS of gravy
Cut elephant into bite size pieces. This will take about 2 months. Reserve the trunk. (You will need it to store pieces in).
Add enough gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene stove for about 4 weeks at 365 degrees. This will serve about 3,800 people. If more people are expected, add the rabbits. Do this only if necessary, because most people don't like to find "hares" in their stew.
