1 medium-sized elephant
1 ton salt
1 ton pepper
500 bushels potatoes
200 bushels carrots
4,000 sprigs parsley
2 small rabbits (optional)

Preparation

Cut elephant meat into bite-size pieces.
This will take about 2 months.
Cut vegetables into cubes (another 2 months).
Place meat in a pan and cover with 1,000 gallons of brown gravy and simmer for 4 weeks.
Garnish with parsley.
Will serve 3,800 people.
If more are expected, add 2 rabbits.
This is not recommended, as very few people like hare in their stew.
