• The Craziest Cookbooks Ever Published!

  

   

  These 14 Cookbooks have me scratching my head and wondering what the publishers were thinking.  They will leave you asking the question "what the  f@#!?"  Maybe not the books you want on your bookshelf but definately things you want to have out for discussion.  From cookbooks written by criminals to cooking for swingers.  These ridiculous titles managed to get published and now I pass these treasures of culinary integrity onto you. 

  

  Ann Frank writes for the Portland Oregonian and she is not about diet books.  In this cookbook she introduces you to fried chocolate bar sandwiches.  Throw the good-doer in you under a bus and eat like your evil twin.

  

  A prelude to the hit show Man V. Food, this cookbook gives you insight into how to prepare, eat and garnish a plethora of animal privates.  Many cultures believe eating this part of the bull acts as an aphrodisiac improving your love life.  Skip if vegetarian. 

  

  In this cookbook, we get down to the bare bone basics of food choices.  Did you know Jesus has a plan for your dinner?  It answers the questions of what Jews ate during this time period and takes a look at how nutrition served the carpenter and gave him those washboard abs.  It is a great book for a person in love with Jesus, kosher foods or history.  Not a great book if your baptist:  Sorry - no fried chicken.

  

  A lesbian's cocktail book?  

  

  The author is a woman in England with a very difference sense of humor.  This cookbook introduces you to Dog Stew as General Kim likes it in North Korea among other Axis of Evil dishes.  Not for the animal lover that's for sure.

  

  This is an intriguing cookbook based on the historical sail of the Titanic. In it are beautiful pictures of food eaten by the upper class and recipes so you can have your own Titanic themed dinner.  Surprisingly, James Cameron has nothing to do with this.

  

  For the laziest amongst us.  This book contains hilarious illustrations of people enjoying themselves in bed with food.  Ummmm, not sure if family friendly.  The people in the UK are so weird.

  

  The preface of this book starts by telling the reader what a BBQ means to a trailer park and I quote "We're having a BBQ in honor of Grandma getting out of prison, wanna come over?"  Ah, the simple folk.  In this book you won't just learn about BBQ, you will learn all about the trailer park community.  One of my favorite tips was learning that a BBQ in a trailer park happens about as often as a visit from the cops.

  

  In Latin America, Iguana are called the chicken of the tree.  In this book you will learn how to prepare lizzard tail and make Iquana stew.   

  

  "Grandmotherly Dorthea Puente is becoming as renowned for her cooking as for being a notorious mass murder, serial killer and all around psycho"...THE SUN.

  OMG this book actually exists!  And its been reviewed!   Puente ran board house in Sacramento, California, and cashed the Social Security checks of her elderly and mentally disabled boarders. Those who complained were killed and buried in her yard.  Her defense was that she would never worry about fattening up people she was planning to kill.  Nice one.  GUILTY!
  
  

  A bit needless and a bit stupid like most fashion, this book gives recipes from the people we least expect to eat.  Diane Von Furtstenberg to Issac Mizrahis give us tips on how to make soup fashionable.  A more believable book would show you how to pour a bowl of special K, drink only water and coffee black and how to prepare butterless, saltless popcorn.

  

  I have no idea but you can purchase this from amazon new from $4.00.

  

  Okay, this one is not really a cookbook.  Unless you take the recipe for TNT and eat it.   Published in the 70s, this book is a how too for home explosives.   

   

  These cookbooks are pretty clever but I bet I could come up with one just as good.  How about a Cannibal Cookbook.  Learn how to entertain a party with finger sandwiches.  Learn how to prepare liver!  Yum.

  Got any bad ideas for a cookbook?
