============

The first four that I can think of are:

1. "The Cannibal Cookbook" by Lionel Miskin
2. "How to Cook...Road Kill 'Goremet cooking' " by R. Marcou
3. "The Anarchist Cookbook" by Powell
4. "The Futurist Cookbook" by Marinetti

Hmmm, I *know* that I have one more that should go on your list... I'll post it if I remember it.

Unmentionable Cuisine, by Schwabe. All the foods you'd never care to consider eating. Very well
researched, but the actual recipes are vague.

Also note the similar titles at Amazon:

3. "The Anarchist Cookbook" by Powell

Name aside, IIRC this has nothing to do with cooking.

I have the book and it does have some food recipes in it. Even without them, it still fits the OP's
definition.

Hey man - gimme another hit of that bananna peel, you bogart!

Not true. There are plenty of recipes - many that actually involve real cooking; albeit they're
fortified with Hash or Pot... but they are actual food recipes. Of course there are *other* types of
recipes too; like LSD and pipe bombs... LOL

I've got a copy of 'The Dracula Cookbook' somewhere out in our shed (which is why I can't tell you
who wrote it!). Anyway, it has chapters on providing grown-up Hallowe'en food (and table decor!) for
dinner and cocktail parties, but is largely concerned with Transylvanian recipes. I particularly
like the recipe for 'Breast of Chicken Elizabeth Bathory' - which contains grapes, rather than the
blood I would have expected!

You are correct. The library I work for owns a copy of this. Sheer curiousity made me look
through it one day and it has much more to do with how to make a homemade bomb than what
anarchists eat. I found it quite disturbing, and I saw it long before the events of 9/11, or even
the Oklahoma City bombing.

Everyone knows that the book was fabricated by the CIA. Following the bomb recipes in the book is a
sure way to blow yourself up. This helped to identify and eliminate possible threats towards the
government. The chapters on growing weed are useless, and if you're dumb enough to smoke bananna
peels, well, all the more power to ya.

I found 3 in my collection that are "different" to say the least:

By Hook or By Cook-The Official Nevada Brothel Cookbook By Nevada's Finest Working Ladies

Plain Jane's Thrill of Very Fattening Foods Cookbook By Linda Sunshine

Inter Courses an Aphrodisiac Cookbook By Martha Hopkins Jan
