1 medium-sized elephant
2 rabbits (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste
lots of brown gravy

Cut elephant in bite-size pieces, this will take about 2 months. Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook about 4 weeks. This will serve 3,800 people. If more are expected the rabbits may be added. Do this only if necessary, as most people don't like hare in their stew.

Note: If feeding a multitude, add 5 loaves and 2 fishes.
