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 about 3, 800 people. If more are expected, add 2 rabbits, but do this ONLY IF NECESSARY as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
