1 elephant (med.)
2 rabbits (optional)
Salt and pepper
Brown gravy (lots)

Cut elephant into bite size pieces (this will take about 2 months). Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for about 4 weeks at 450 degrees. 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 hare in their stew.
