Africa Last night mum was away so we had a few people around. A large number in fact so we decided to have an ancient feast known as elephant stew. Niamh started a couple of weeks back by tenderizing the Elephant with a four wheel drive car. Once tenderized we soaked the elepahant in salt water for two days. I then spent a week cutting elephant into bite sized pieces. Before placing in pot we added ten sacks of onions and a dump truck of potatoes. Carter covered the dish with water from the hose; it took a few hours. We added salt after Todd got home and we needed to borrow his wheel barrow. We then left it to simmer for a weekish. Once stew was ready to eat we added 1/2 an acre of parsly just in time for our guest to arrive. This recipe serves 3600 guests but wouldn't you know we had 3 gate crashers so we had to have something else. Wasn't even any beer left over. Mongolian After the party was over we had served the meals and done the dishes, paper plates so it wasn't that bad. We decided to have something to eat ourselves. We researched Mongolian eating, and found that they have a communal cooking pot. So we each cooked strips of meat and cabbage in a pot of broth, then had our own bowls of dipping sauce. We all really loved this and it just got better because after we had eaten the meat and cabbage we put some noodles in the pot and ate those too!
