1 elephant
Salt and pepper
2 rabbits (optional)

First cut elephant into bite-size pieces. This will probably take about 2 weeks. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook over kerosene fire at 470 degrees for about 8 days. This will serve 1, 360 people. If more are expected, add the 2 rabbits. Do this only if necessary as most people do not like to find hare in their stew. (....An old cookbook.)
