Elephant Stew INGREDIENTS 1 medium elephant 2 (50 gallon) containers broth 500 lbs assorted fresh vegetables, chopped 2 rabbits (optional) DIRECTIONS Cut elephant into bite-size pieces. This takes about 2 months. Using large kettles, simmer equal parts elephant and vegetables with enough broth to cover. Cook for a couple days. If more are expected add the rabbits, but do this only if necessary. Most people don’t like to find hare in their stew. ---
