    Half a cranberry isn't much to go with a whole elephant GQ! couldn't you have a whole one and not just one side?
    :) Nice one!

    I have a soupcon of cranberries, yorkshire puds, roasties and all the trimmings with my roast elephant. The cranberries are the merest garnish of a flavouring, anything more would be vulgar excess.

    :) The finest chefs serve it on a bed of lightly-tossed elephant grass, or so I'm told.

    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.

    I would join you in the elephant pie, but it won't fit in my oven.

    Off to hospital now, see you in a while.

    I think it's the ultimate preparedness to remove bits now that may cause you bother later. :rotfl:
