FUN RECIPES
ELEPHANT STEW
You'll need 1 medium sized Elephant. 2 Rabbits, optional.
Salt and pepper. Cut the Elephant into small bite size pieces. Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire about 4 weeks at 465º. This will serve 3,800 people. If more are expected the 2 Rabbits may be added. But do this only in emergency. Most people do not like hare in their stew.
MUSTGOES
When the family comes in and they keep buging about what is for supper ? Just tell them something special "Mustgoes" and that they will really enjoy it.
Go to the refrigerator,open and point saying. "This mustgo, that mustgo and so on". This is a very quick and easy recipe as long as you have lots of leftovers.
MOUSE PIE
5 fat field mice
1 cup macaroni
1/2 thinly sliced medium onion
Butter
1 medium can tomatoes
1 cup cracker crumbs
Salt and pepper
Boil macaroni 10 minutes. While it is cooking, fry the field mice long enough to fry out some of the exces fat. Grease a cassarole with some of this fat and put a layer of macaroni in it. Add onions, then tomatoes, salt and pepper well. Add field mice and cover with remaining macaroni. Sprinkle top with cracker crumbs, seasoned with salt, pepper and butter. Bake at 375º about 20 minutes---or until the mice are well done--Note: If in cold weather and rain it is difficult to find field mice-- a good substitute is about 10 "little pig" sausages!
NORTHERN BEATEN BISCUITS-- YUKON RECIPE

STONE SOUP
A poor man's specialty. Start with one large, smooth, clean, round stone. Add a half teaspoon salt and ample water. Boil two hours. In the meantime ask around the neighours for possible other ingredients. At the end of two hours add any vegetables or meat ( check the mouse trap), you have been able to lay your hands on. Cook two more hours. Remove the stone (save it for the next batch) and eat the soup.
