That reminds me of a recipe that I found years ago in one of those old Community cookbooks that was raising money for missionaries in Africa.

 

Elephant  Stew 

 

1  elephant 

salt  and  pepper  to  taste 

2  rabbits  (optional) 

brown  gravy 

 

Cut  elephant  into  bite  sized  pieces.    This  should  take  about  two  months.    Add  enough  brown  gravy  to cover.    Cook  over  a  kerosene  fire  at  465o  for  about  4  weeks.    This  will  serve  about  3,800  people.    If  more  are expected,  two  rabbits  may  be  added,  but  do  this  only  if  necessary  as  most  people  do  not  like  to  find  hare  in  their stew.

A friend had a collection of Diek Van Erp art deco hand crafted copper vases and pots, all with deep patina.   His mother came to visit, and i guess you've figured out the rest.    He was relatively calm about the whole thing.    They're only "stuff" and you've only one mother.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

I just don't want to look back and think "I could have eaten that."

Unsupervised, rebellious, radical agrarian experimenter, minimalist penny-pincher, and adventurous cook. Crotchety, cantankerous, terse curmudgeon, non-conformist, and contrarian who questions everything!

The best thing about a vegetable garden is all the meat you can hunt and trap out of it!
