The Simpsons’ cookbook really should have been called ‘How to Cook for Forty Humans’
Note to self- I am inviisble. I must go fight crime.
Technically, the first step in any “From Scratch” recipe.
Back to the Future: The Official Hill Valley Cookbook: Over Sixty-Five Classic Hill Valley Recipes From the Past, Present, and Future!
There are “similar items” on that page that are also pretty strange.
I see your “Cooking with Pooh” and raise you “Cooking with Poo.”
I hope it had something with prune juice in it.
In the back of a paperback recipe book at the Pakistani/Indian grocery store I go to, there was a list of other recipe books by the same publisher, with a lot of badly translated titles. One was “Good Foods From Waste Products”.
I got the Necronomnomnom for a friend, what I liked best about it is that the in-book recipes are all written using “in-world” knowledge - so just reading it causes at least 1d6 SAN loss (yes, there are ‘clean’ versions in the back).
I have a Fallout Cookbook, which has lots of amusing “in world” notes, but otherwise is quite pedestrian, but my personal find for WEIRDEST movie/TV/etc tie in came up just two weeks ago!
By all that is unholy and wrong, someone released a cook book for the Star Wars Holiday Special!
My friend and I looked upon it and immediately checked to see if it had Gormaanda’s favorite recipe. And yes, it does. Although the description mentioned how they had tried to recreate the technique and never succeeded, and wondered if Gormaanda ever had…
My wife has this cookbook. Recipes from the Kay Scarpetta series of novels.
Of course, prune juice cocktail, which is ½ prune juice and ½ grapefruit juice, over ice.
How cool! We’ve re-watched some of these episodes 5 or 6 times, and they’re still enjoyable.
If you find out if it’s happening for sure, please come back here and let us know!
It’s a very nice podcast. Labours of Hercule with Adam & Frankie. Check it out! Even if you don’t do podcasts, their Instagram has a ton of Poirot memes which is cute in and of itself.
Oh, yeah, thanks.
There’s a HALO cook book which for those who don’t know is a long running sci-fi first person shooter series.
The weirdest part about this is that unlike every other example, I don’t think there’s any food in Halo. You shoot things until they die 100% of the time, unlike Fallout or Minecraft where you make food for sustenance or to regain health. Like MAYBE you find a discarded thing of doughnuts or a cake in the background of a level but that’s literally it in terms of actual food.
I got The Nancy Drew Cookbook as a gift one year when I was a kid. I also had a Peanuts (as in, the Charles Schulz comic strip) cookbook.
Both were reasonably decent books for teaching children to cook, with recipes named in keeping with the theme - “Mysterious mushroom soup” or “Lucy’s lemon squares.”
Heh, this made me look and apparently they managed to make an entire chapter based off this picture 
The ST Cookbook I had pre-dated TNG, so the concept of “prune juice - a warrior’s drink” did not yet exist.
Henry Hill of Goodfellas fame wrote a cookbook/autobiography framed around recipes he learned in the Mafia, in prison, and during his time in the WPP. I found it on sale at the Mob Museum in Vegas and it’s probably the second weirdest cookbook I own.
