Lets make this together

While looking through my Mom's recipe book I came across a very interesting recipe, it made me laugh.

Elephant Stew

1 Elephant

2 c. salt

1 c. pepper

20 gal. water

15 pkgs. brown gravy

cut elephant into one-inch cubes, frequently adding pinches of salt and pepper (this will take approximately 72 days).  Add enough water and brown gravy to cover.  Cook over a kerosene fire about 4 weeks at 456 degrees.  If more then 3, 800 are expected for dinner, two rabbits may be added, but do this only if necessary because most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
