1 elephant
Brown gravy
Salt and pepper
2 rabbits

Cut elephant into bite size pieces. This will take about 4 months. Cook over kerosene fire at 525 degrees for 5 months. Add salt and pepper and cover with brown gravy. This will serve 3, 800 people. If more are expected, add 2 rabbits. Do this only if absolutely necessary as most people do not like to find HARE in their stew.
