Make me feel like I accomplished something! There's a few recipes thrown in here, along with some rather creepy cartoons about food - children losing their appetites on too many toadstools, the store being out of eye of newt, the two headed pig roast, that sort of thing. I actually didn't get all the jokes. I find Chas Addams' work a little hard to figure out visually sometimes. So there's a few in here that I honestly was clueless about. I sure would like an occasion to use the squirrel recipe. And the oyster macaroni and cheese sounded really intriguing. It's almost Halloween! It's time to go the candy store and ask for dark chocolate with bitter almonds! Cute little collection of cooking-related Addams cartoons (lots of cannibal and witch cauldrons, strange things behind Automat windows, etc). It also includes several recipes, some modified to sound horrific (2 tsp squirrel blood, or substitute sherry...), some just supposed to sound horrific (stuffed heart). I was delighted to find a recipe for black pudding! (yeah, yeah, it includes blood. It's yummy, though). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
At the time of his death, Charles Addams was working on this project, a cookbook with never-before-seen artwork and never before tasted and very macabre recipes--published here for the first time, along with some classic Addams cartoons about food and cooking. Food and eating were a couple of Charles Addams's favorite subjects. Hungry cannibals, witches gathering around a cauldron, or a king over his blackbird pie often populated his celebrated cartoons. And, of course, Morticia of the "Addams Family" was an avid cook, adding a touch of eye of newt or popping over to the neighbors for a cup of cyanide. So it should come as no wonder that in the 1960s Charles Addams was dabbling with a "cookbook" idea. Addams discovered and compiled some bizarre recipes from antiquated and out-of-the-way sources. These recipes have very Addams-like names, such as "Mushrooms Fester" or "Hearts Stuffed," and serve as a perfect complement to his drawings. Chas Addams(tm) Half-Baked Cookbook is a collection of his work on the world of food and eating, featuring many Addams drawings that have never been seen before, as well as some of his all-time classics.
