1 elephant, med. size
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 rabbits (optional)

Cut elephant into bite-size pieces -- this should take about 2 months. Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire about 4 weeks at 456 degrees F. This will serve 3, 800 people. If more are expected, two rabbits may be added, but only if necessary, since most people do not like to find a hare in their stew.
