Elephant Stew

Submitted by cheryl

"The kids should like reading this one...it's an adaptation of a recipe from a July 1968 cookbook that was published by the local newspaper. I bought it at a garage sale and was entertained for hours by the great sounding recipes and the sponsor's ads. A new gas range, $118; a new full size refrigerator with automatic defrosting! $168... Mary Ferris had submitted a version of this recipe."

I prefer the African elephant with only one rabbit. Two was a little much. Short hair rabbit tastes the best!! Ha Ha. That was the best thing I've read all day, thanks!!

Thought it was great...started it in June----ate it in Aug. I must say though....2 cloves of garlic (minced) did make a great difference!!!!

I added 1/8 t. salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1 T. dry white wine. Adds a lot of flair to the recipe.
