ELEPHANT SOUP
Printed from COOKS.COMhttps://cooks.com/4x9gx853
1 elephant
Salt and pepper
2 rabbits (optional)
Cut elephant into bite-size pieces. This should take about 2 months. Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for 4 weeks at 465 degrees. This will serve 3, 800 people. If more are expected, 2 rabbits may be added, but do this only if necessary as most people do not like to find a hare in their soup.
NOTE: No elephants or rabbits were harmed in the printing of this recipe.

This Victorian, carved occasional table, featuring "elephant legs" and made in India in the 19th century, appeared on an antiques program on television just recently. It garnered much interest but I can't remember the price, only that it was quite expensive.
