1 elephant
Brown gravy
Salt & pepper
2 rabbits (opt.)

Cut elephant meat into bite size pieces. This should take about 2 months. Cover with brown gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over a kerosene fire about 4 weeks at 485 degrees. This will serve 3, 800 people. If more are expected 2 rabbits may be added. Do this only if necessary, as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
