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

Cut elephant into bite size pieces; this should take about 2 months. Cover with brown gravy; cook over kerosene fire about 4 weeks at 465 degrees. This will serve 3, 800 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.
