1 medium sized elephant (Loxodontus Africana)

20 bags salt

500 kg pepper corns

750 bushels potatoes

125 bushels carrots

2000 sprigs parsley

1 rabbit and onions

1. Cut elephant into bite sized chunks. This will take about 6 weeks.

2. Chop vegetables into cubes (another four weeks).

3. Place meat into jumbo-sized missionary pot. Pump in 5000½ litres of elephant gravy and simmer for 28 days.

4. Shovel in salt and pepper to taste.

5. When meat is tender, add vegetables. To speed up matters, it is recommended that you use a steam-shovel.

6. Simmer slowly for another week, then garnish with parsley. Serves approximately 3000 people.

7. If more guests are expected, add the rabbit. However, this is not really recommended because very few people like hare in their stew.
