1 med. size elephant
Brown gravy, lots of it
Salt and pepper to taste
2 rabbits (optional)

Cut elephant into bite-size pieces. This will take about 2 months. Reserve the trunk. You will need something to store the pieces in. Add enough gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for 6 weeks at 465 degrees. If more people are expected, add the 2 rabbits. Do this only if necessary, as most people do not like hare in their stew.
