Elephant Stew

I found this stew while looking through the recipes of my Grandmother, Virginia Grace Jewett Wickline

ELEPHANT STEW

1 elephant,medium sized

2 rabbits, optional

Cut elephant into bite-sized pieces. This should take about 2 months. Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene about 4 weeks at 465 degrees. This will serve about 3800 people. If more are expected, two rabbits may be added, but do this only if necessary, as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
