NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT IT:
Odd cookbooks (AP, Jul. 11, 2007)
Online bookseller AbeBooks.com recently asked its customers for their votes for the weirdest cookbooks ever. Who knew that cooking on the engine of your car was stranger than wookie cookies? The top 10:1. “Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine!” by Chris Maynard and Bill Scheller.
2. “The Original Road Kill Cookbook” by Buck Peterson.
3. “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook” by David G. Gordon.
4. “Special Effects Cookbook” by Michael E. Samonek.
5. “Cooking in the Nude: For Playful Gourmets” by Debbie Cornwell and Stephen Cornwell.
Doing geoseismic work in the Permian Oil Basin, we'd just put a can of soup (Chunky) or chili (Wolf Brand) on one of the truck manifolds and let it drive around for awhile, then pluck it off later & chow down. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 11, 2007 9:07 AM
