. . but the only one I know I own is the "White Trash Cooking". I might have "What Would Jesus Eat", but I think the one I have is similar but with a different title.

I see the "Road Kill Cookbook" on eBay now and then but have never bought it because we just don't have cookable road kill here in Los Angeles (except people - and you're not allowed to eat those). Any other animals would be squished into a red stain within minutes around here.

Insects are quite under discussion by food experts these days, particularly grasshoppers and the like, as an excellent and palatable protein source. Though I have had fried ants, I haven't yet tried the silkworm pupae I see in the frozen food cases at the Asian markets - and we just don't have grasshoppers around here - last one I saw was at least 10 years ago.

There's nothing at all strange (just pitiful) about a "Microwave for One" cookbook, and certainly nothing strange about a "Meat Stretcher Cookbook" (see also "Depression Era Recipes") - but nothing could be as pitiful as a "Star Trek Cookbook".

I've seen the "Testicle Cookbook", but I don't need it, I already have plenty of recipes for those. The "Kill It and Grill" It cookbook is common on eBay right now, but I don't do a lot of grilling and I figure the hunting sort aren't into very interesting recipes.

"Manifold Destiny" has been around for a long time, but I don't have a car with big enough pipes or a hot enough engine - and I don't see anything strange whatever about a "Dutch Oven Cookbook" - unless there's someone too inexperienced to know what a Dutch Oven is (no it's not something tended by the Gestapo).

Food to remember is just another one of 27,000 comb bound fund raising recipe books, but "Cooking with Poo" might be interesting.

"Holocost Survivor Cookbook" is not competitive with the one publishing recipes of those who didn't survive (mostly from Theresienstadt(Terezín)). There is also a CD of music composed in the Theresienstadt camp, by excellent composers none of whom survived.

I would not recommend "The Iguana Cookbook" because Iguanas have been seriously over-harvested. As for the two vampire cookbooks, I have plenty of recipes calling for blood, and I own "Transylvania Cuisine", a very fine work indeed.

Now semaen-based recipes, that is pretty strange. I've never heard about that being eaten except plain, fresh and raw.

But none of these are competitive with one I just bought. "I Like You", subtitled "hospitality under the influence". That subtitle is suboptimal - more properly it should be "cookbook writing under the influence". Veeeery strange indeed, but quite entertaining. Very few cookbooks instruct you how to determine what drugs your guests are on or how to keep your vagina clean and good tasting.
