HIPPOPOTAMUS STEW
1 med. sized hippo
1 ton salt
Pepper to taste
500 bushels potatoes
1000 gals. brown gravy
200 bushels carrots
400 sprigs parsley
2 sm. rabbits (optional)
Cut hippo meat into bite sized pieces. This will take about 2 months. Cut vegetables into cubes (another 2 months). Place meat into large pan and cover with gravy. Simmer for 4 weeks. Shovel in salt and pepper to taste. When meat is tender, add vegetables. A steam shovel is useful for this. Simmer slowly for 4 more weeks. Garnish with parsley.
Will serve 2, 700 people. If more are expected, add 2 small rabbits - this is not recommended as very few people like hare in their stew.
We'd better get started. LOL
Feeds 2,700 people? I'm leaving before the dishes have to be washed!
We'll just pile them in that bathtub with you. Give them a swirl will ya?
Always practical in the details regarding dishes I see chef.
But seriously, how many members do we have? We can have this prepped in no time. ONE bushel of carrots shouldn't take one person more than 3 hours. And the hippo can just be divided in two's exponentially with a correstponding number of workers (till we run out) and eventually half, by half, by half... by n-th itteration will make quick work of several tons of tasty deliciousness. You don't have to do ALL the prep yourself for stew meat!! That's what this wonderful army of Sous Chefs are for!
Are those golf shoes?? WTF!!
*drags in the carrots* I got 'em!!!
I brought the good china too. If we don't use it we could probably just toss it around for some after-dinner entertainment.
Wow, my brain's on the frizz today.
That's how you keep rain out of the muzzle. Hippos are in wet areas, you know. And that photo was taken in the days before latex condoms.
oops. I did it again. Will someone resize please?
