1 med. elephant
1 ton salt
1 ton pepper
500 bushels potatoes
200 bushels carrots
4, 000 sprigs parsley
2 sm. rabbits (optional)

Cut elephant meat into bite size pieces (this will take about month). Cut vegetables into cubes (another 2 months). Place meat in pan and cover with 1, 000 gallons of brown gravy. Simmer for 4 weeks. Shovel in salt and pepper to taste. When meat is tender, add vegetables. A steam shovel is useful for this. Simmer slowly for 4 more weeks. Garnish with parsley. Will serve about 3, 800 people. If more are expected, add the 2 rabbits. (This is not always recommended, as very few people like hare in their stew.)
