1 elephant
Brown gravy
Salt and pepper to taste
2 rabbits (optional)

Cut elephant into small pieces. This should take about 2 months. Cover with brown gravy. Cook over kerosene fire about 4 weeks at 465 degrees. This will serve about 3, 800 people. If more are expected, 2 rabbits may be added. Do this only if necessary, as most people do not like "hare" in their stew.
