Status: offline 		 Its a yummy cook book,
"Oh wait thats the one with actual cannibalistic recipes."

The one your talking about has lousy recipes, and is to big to fit under the wobbly legs of the kitchen table.
All it serves as is a bit of toilet paper for when I run out, and even then its lousy.

I much prefer dishes with actual human.
Although I would need a good cook book, since its so tuff to cook rite.
Always dissolving or turning out rubbery, except for the organs, but those taste well....
    Lungs weren't meant for being boiled, I can tell you that.

Laughs..."to serve man?"
"Only after ive eaten everything else,
thank you very much!"

The story involves helpful alien emissaries, the telepathic Kanamits, giving mankind all the necessary tools to survive and to end wars and famine. As a further token of friendship they even freely transport humans to their paradise-like planet.
The aliens accidentally leave behind a book. A United Nations official (Mr. Chambers) and his staff take their time in deciphering the book by means of a rudimentary Kanamit-English dictionary. Eventually they are able to translate the title as "To Serve Man". Mr. Chambers signs up for a flight to the alien home world, but as he climbs on board the ship for the trip, his assistant yells to him not to get on: "It's a cookbook!" The irony of the story is that instead of 'serving man' by providing for his needs, the aliens were literally 'serving man' as a meal on their home planet.


There is a book entitled To Serve Man: a Cookbook for People, by Karl Würf (author) and Jack Bozzi (illustrator). Published by Wildside Press in December 1979. ISBN 978-1880448823.



Gotta love wiki.
