Elephant Stew offers a tongue-in-cheek culinary adventure of epic proportions! This humorous recipe provides meticulous instructions for preparing a pachyderm feast, including the 72-day cubing process and month-long cooking time. With a clever punchline about adding rabbits (but only if necessary, since most people don't like finding 'hare' in their stew), this conversation-starting recipe is guaranteed to bring smiles.

1 elephant
2 cups pepper

Directions

Frequently adding pinches of salt and pepper, cook over kerosene fire for about 4 weeks at 465°.
If more than 3,800 guests are expected for dinner, 2 rabbits may be added.
