1 elephant
2 rabbits
Brown gravy (300 gallons)
Salt & pepper

Cut elephant into bite size pieces (this takes about 4 months). Cook over kerosene fire at 525 degrees until tender, about 5 months. Add salt and pepper and cover with brown gravy. This will serve 3, 800 people, so invite the whole county. If more are expected, add 2 rabbits. Do this only if absolutely necessary, as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
