Cut the elephant meat into bite-size pieces. This will take about 2 months. Cut vegetables into cubes (another 2 months). Place meat in pan and cover with 1, 000 gallons of brown gravey and simmer for 4 weeks.

Shovel in salt and pepper to taste. When the meat is tender, add the vegetables.

A steam shovel is useful for this.

Simmer slowly for four more weeks. Garnish with parsley.

If more are expected, add the two rabbits - this is not recommened, as very few people like hare in their stew.
