Delphian Cookbook- Spiralbound Cookbook #45

The LAST cookbook in my spiralbound cookbook collection is a musty one I purchased recently on eBay.  It needs to spend some time with a dryer sheet in a plastic bag in my freezer, or a few days out on the deck in the sun...we'll see which method works!

It was created by the Houston Assembly of Delphian Chapters, in 1976.  I have NO IDEA what a Delphian is...

Here's the cookbook:

The page inside the book are a very nice parchment-type paper, and there are many tasty recipes from which to choose.  For this final spiralbound cookbook post, I've chosen to feature a humorous recipe from the beginning of the "Main Dishes" chapter for ELEPHANT STEW, attributed to Shirley McKinley:

Elephant Stew

1 medium size elephant (not pink)
650 lbs. potatoes
1 small rabbit
500 lbs. carrots
water
your favorite seasonings

Cube and brown elephant.  Peel vegetables and place in large pot with elephant.  Add water to cover contents and simmer slowly for several days.  Season to taste.  This recipe makes enough to satisfy the average family.

If company comes, simply add the rabbit, that is if they don't mind a little hare in their stew.

Enjoy, and thanks for humoring me as I shared these many WONDERFUL cookbooks, featuring AMAZING recipes from folks across the country!

Here's hoping YOU have a collection that brings a smile to YOUR face too!!!
