Elephant Stew

1 elephant, medium sized

brown gravy, lots

salt and pepper to taste

2 small rabbits, optional

Cut elephant into small bite-sized pieces. This will take about two months. Reserve trunk, you will need something to store the pieces in. Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for about four weeks at 465 degrees. This will serve about 3,800 people. If more expected, the rabbits may be added, but do this only if necessary as most people do not like to find "hare" in their stew.
