1 elephant
2 rabbits
Salt and pepper to taste
Brown gravy (later)

Cut elephant into bite size pieces (this will take about 2 months). Add enough gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for about 4 weeks at 460 degrees. This will serve about 3800 people. If more are expected, the 2 rabbits may be added. But add rabbits only if absolutely necessary, as most people don't like to find "hare" in their stew. Bon appetite!
