Some       of tohse were originally issued as Meal master - to each his own,said the       old woman as she kissed the cow. Bv)=              Heck Ieven registered a copy of Accu Chef (windoze ready - not DOS).              Here's a Randy with mmore than 3 servings              MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06                Title: Elephant Stew        Categories: Five, Meat        Yield: 3800 Servings                1 Elephant        Salt & pepper        2 Rabbits                Cut elephant into small bite size pieces, this should        take about 2 months.                Add enough brown gravy to cover, about half a train        tank car.                Cook over kerosene heat for about 4 weeks at 450ºF/234ºC.                This recipe should serve 3,800 people.                If more are expected, add 2 extra rabbits, do so only        if necessary as most people do not like hare in their        stew.                Randy Rigg                From: http://www.recipesource.com                Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives               MMMMM              ...
