ELEPHANT STEW 1 Medium Sized Niagara County Elephant 2 Rabbits (Optional) Salt and Pepper to Taste Cut elephant into bite sized pieces. This will take about 2 months. Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over an open fire for about 4 weeks at 465 degrees. This will serve about 3,800 people. If more are expected, the 2 rabbits may be added, but do this only in an emergency as some people do not like to find a hare in their stew.
