1 elephant
2 rabbits
Salt & pepper to taste
Bowls of gravy (lots of it)

Cut elephant into bite-size pieces. This will take about 2 months. Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for 4 weeks. This will serve 3, 800 people. If more are expected, the 2 rabbits may be added; but do this only if necessary, as most people do not like to find a hare in their stew.
