Cat's meow and other cookbooks

There is a cookbook for everything. Really. Everything. Just check out this list from AbeBooks.com, an online marketplace for new, used, rare and out-of-print books. This is Abe's Top 10 List of the Weirdest, Most Bizarre Cookbooks. I'm not arguing with any title on this oddball list:

10. "Strange Foods: Bush Meats, Bats and Butterflies" by Jerry Hopkins.

9. "Cooking for Cats: The Best Recipes for Felix, Orlando and the Rest" by Elisabeth Meyer Zu Stieghorst-Kastrup. (Cat ladies everywhere rejoice! No more store bought Meow Mix for kitty.)

8. "Mini Ketchup Cookbook" by Cameron Pearl. (Answer me this: Why?)

7. "Wookiee Cookies: The Star Wars Cookbook" by Robin Davis. (So successful with Star War freaks and geeks there was a follow-up: The Star Wars Cookbook II: Darth Malt and More Galactic Recipes." Hey mom, can we have Darth double dogs, Bubble City Salad and Boss Nass Broccoli for dinner tonight? Who do you think I am, Darth Waiter? Bah-ha-ha-ha!)

6. "Cooking to Kill: The Poison Cookbook" by Ebenezer Murgatroyd. (Supposedly, a joke cookbook. We hope. )

5. "Cooking in the Nude: For Playful Gourmets" by Stephen Cornwall and Debbra Cornwall. (Splattering bacon is definitely a nude cooking no-no. Ouch! that's gonna leave a mark.)

4. "The Special Effects Cookbook" by Michael Samonek. (Learn how to make your food look like dinosaurs and other fun things!)

3. "The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook: 33 Ways to Cook Grasshoppers, Ants, Water Bugs, Spiders, Centipedes, and Their Kin" by David George Gordon. (Three Bee Salad or Chocolate Cricket Torte, anyone? Anyone? OK, pass the vomit bucket this way.)

2. "The Original Roadkill Cookbook" by Buck Peterson. (This book not only spawned a mini-roadkill gift industry, it sold more than 200,000 copies. Be afraid, America. Very afraid.)

1. "Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine," by Bill Scheller and Chris Maynard. (It was published in 1989 and, not surprisingly, is out-of-print. Cooking on the car engine is apparently not as popular or as wacky as steaming fish in the dishwasher.)
