Cut elephant into bite size pieces (allow approximately 75 days for this procedure) and cover with gravy.

 

Cook over zebra wood fire at 475 degrees for 8 days. 
 
This elephant serves 3,800 adults and 35 children.

 

If more are expected, two rabbits may be added.  Do this only if absolute necessary, as most people do not like to find a hare in their stew.
