The eNotes Blog Make That a Royale with Cheese Top Ten CrazyCookbooks

Make That a Royale with Cheese Top Ten CrazyCookbooks You might be surprised to learn that one segment of the book market, cookbooks, is not only seemingly   immune from the decrease in sales but actually flourishes. As the economy continues to struggle, many people are eating more and more meals at home. A good number are also returning to homemade pursuits like canning, growing herbs, making cheese, brewing beer and more.   Eager to claim part of that disposable income, publishers have green-lighted a number of questionable culinary tomes. 1   Pulp Kitchen:   Recipes for the Good, the Bad, and the Hungry  by Feargus OSullivan Creamed brains on toast, perhaps? What about this film would make you want to eatanything? Yeah, yeah the diner scene but that seems like a rather short menu for an entire cookbook. 2.   Ã‚  The Testicle Cookbook: Cooking with Balls  by Ljudomir R. Erovic Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. balls! (I do not even want to know what part of this is multi-media) 3.  The Bewitched Cookbook: Magic in the Kitchen  by Kasey Rogers and Mark Wood Feeling torn between traditional feminine role models and the desire to assert your independence? Then  The Bewitched  cookbook is for you! I am guessing there are plenty of jello molds and casseroles to be lovingly preparedor at least chucked in the magic of the microwave. Make your own damned sandwich. 4.  The Romance of Food  by Barbara Cartland Tired of writing about ripping bodices and sheathing (heh) swords, prolific romance author Barbara Cartland turned her talents to showing us just how to get a glistening half-naked Scotsman to eat caviar off your heaving bosom. I guess. 5.   Wookies Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes  by Robin Davis Am I the only one who thinks those cookies look like cow patties? I guess that answers a question about Wookie body functions anyway. 6.   The Un-constipated Gourmet  by Danielle Svetcov   Know a bunch of friends you suspect are full of *^%? Time to host a dinner party! This reminds me of the classic Colon Blow and You skit with Phil Hartman: nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/colon-blow/n9822/ 7.   The Star-Trek Cookbook  by Ethan Phillips and William J. Birnes Oh I am sorry. The official Star-Trek cookbook. And I thought it would be limited to a bag of Cheetos and Hot-Pockets. 8.   Mosh Potatoes: Recipes, Anecdote, and Mayhem from the Heavy Weights of Heavy Metal  by Steve Seabury I am going to take a wild guess here and say that the anecdotes out number the recipes. 9.   Eat a Bug Cookbook: Real recipes using beetles, spiders and other truly unusual ingredients  by David George Gordon 10.  The Roadkill Cookbook  by B.R.. Buck Peterson The Original! Accept no substitutions! Blurgh. I dont know exactly what delicacies await in this one, but in one of the  substitutes,  The Roadkill Cookbook  by Arthur Bates, you can whip yourself up a nice batch of, I am not kidding, Hedgehog Spaghetti Carbonara
