1 elephant, medium size
Brown gravy (enough to cover elephant)
Salt and pepper
2 rabbits (optional)

Select a nice plump elephant and cut into bite-size pieces. This should take about 2 months. Add brown gravy and cook over low fire about 4 months. This will serve 3800 people. If more are expected, 2 rabbits may be added but do this only, if necessary, as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
