Best funny cookbooks according to redditors

Playing for Pizza

Great book about an NFL 3rd string quarterback who blows the superbowl and plays in Italy. Can't recommend it enough

Fiction

Edit: He blows the AFC championship, not the Superbowl. Also, we know it's fiction, because the Browns were playing for the AFC title.

If you like this there is a book called Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found by Bill Keaggy which is literally a book full of photocopies of grocery lists people lost with commentary by Keaggy. I checked it out from my library once and it's pretty funny and enjoyable to flip through for a while.

THIS WEEK IN SHOKUGEKI.. Shinomiya Chef gets genderbent?!

Did anyone else think that this was a real caterpillar at first? Such realistic green goop.. I'd be interested in taking a peek into that recipe book. I suppose the closest I can find to that in RL would be this.

This was quite a fun episode. The characters, their issues, and even the comic moments felt absolutely natural. Matchmaking grandparents, I swear..

um

So ... on the one hand, there are books like Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behavior or Cultural Misunderstandings: The French-American Experience that try to tell you about all the tiny indicators of 'politeness' or 'propriety' within the scope of a particular class, register, or social scene believed to be typical and what those interactional differences look like from the point of view of an outsider or careful observer.

If those are the quirks you have in mind, I think the most important thing to say is that you shouldn't read too much into them. They're worth knowing for practical reasons, because understanding them is part of communicating effectively and getting along with others, but they're probably not coherent configurations of behavior that impart distinctive psychologies. I think that kind of thing comes from everywhere that language change also comes from: accidental drifts in collective behaviors, intentional signification of a subcultural style that gradually becomes the norm, mimicry of both individuals and groups that happen to have high status for some reason, etc.

On the other hand, you do still hear anthropologists say things like "the Pirahã do this" or "the Yanomami do that" and actually mean something about an overall cultural pattern--typically but not always in some small-scale society. And to be totally honest about it, you should doubt them. Alcida Ramos wrote a great article about how three different anthropologists have represented the Yanomami: "Reflecting on the Yanomami: Ethnographic Images and the Pursuit of the Exotic." The things that a particular society become known for have a lot to do with who is writing about them. Making an argument like "many things the Pirahã do are explained by a 'principle of the immediacy of experience'" ought to be based on a ton of verifiable evidence, and even if you believe it, you should still treat it as a shorthand theoretical construct, relevant to an extremely restricted context (in this case, around 420 people in Brazil).

Probably your question most relevant to the history of anthropology is this one: "Why are we even able to make broad based claims such as 'culture A is this' or 'culture B is that'?"

Anthropologists in the 30s-50s didn't doubt that we could, and they produced a good number of "national character studies" that tried to state something essential about the shared value orientations of large-scale societies. They were provocative but problematic. A few that you can try out for free on the internet archive are Geoffrey Gorer's Exploring English Character, G. Morris Carstairs's The Twice-Born: A Study of a Community of High-Caste Hindus, and Ruth Benedict's The Chrysanthemum and the Sword.

Just as an aside, Benedict's is probably the most famous national character study, first because of its impact/readership but perhaps more importantly because it raises fundamental questions about anthropological practice. Just googling a bit, this article by C. Douglas Lummis seems to cover issues I was aware of (e.g. that Benedict's informants were drawn from Japanese-American internment camps in the US), and it also includes a re-interview of one of Benedict's informants. And I recall this article by Joy Rohde as one that discusses the ethical dilemmas of doing work that shapes foreign policy (Benedict was writing for the Office of War Information).

Getting back to your question about making broad claims, national character studies have been challenged frequently and on numerous grounds. "Anthropology and Politics in Studies of National Character" by Federico Neiburg, Marcio Goldman, and Peter Gow includes a summary of Dante Moreira Leite's doctoral thesis that's worth quoting:
>In the book, Leite describes in detail the origins of the notion of national character, from Romanticism to the culture and personality school, analyzes the various authors who have tried to apply it to Brazilian society, and also develops a critique with three main aspects. First, from an epistemological point of view, culture and personality studies and theories of national character fail to escape from a vicious circle. Starting from empirically observed behavior in a given society, they go on to deduce what is identified as
the general pattern for that society, claiming also that this pattern is reproduced in the personalities of the society's members. This pattern is then used to explain any behavior observed among them.

>Second, from a methodological point of view, these theories and studies are inevitably marked by a confusion between the supposed deep character of a society being analyzed and the observable behavior of a small section of that society. Thus, they offer accounts of German national character when in fact they are talking only about Nazis; they imagine that they are getting at the deepest parts of being Japanese when in fact they refer only to the military who dominated Japanese politics for a certain period; they believe they have grasped the Brazilian when they only have described some rural elite.

>Finally-and this is the most important point for Leite-from a political point of view, theories of national character are no more than ideologies, in the traditional Marxist sense of the word: discourses destined to disguise reality, whether through ethnocentrism, fully compatible with the replacement of European colonialism by U.S. imperialism, or through the omission of politics, economics, or history as the genuine reasons for the differences and inequalities between societies. The result of this process is a kind of substantialization of differences, located in a tradition and at a psychological level so deep that they become almost indistinguishable from the biological rootedness of diversity which racism promoted, and from which culturalism is supposed to have distinguished itself so clearly

And Wikipedia tells me that, more recently, Terracciano A, Abdel-Khalek AM, Adám N, et al. got this published in Science:

>Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members of their own and others' cultures. These perceptions of national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a “kernel of truth,” or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained national character ratings (N = 3,989) from 49 cultures and compared them to the average personality scores of culture members assessed by observer ratings and self-reports. National character ratings were reliable, but did not converge with assessed traits (Mdn r = .04). Perceptions of national character thus appear to be unfounded stereotypes that may serve the function of maintaining a national identity.

Basically, everyone believes in stereotypes, both about other groups and about their own. A fairly common way to deal with that is to treat stereotypes as insight not into the groups they misrepresent but into how the folks who believe them think the world works. Another way to deal with it is to be really, really specific about your observations and the contexts in which you think they occur.

Just saw this at barnes & noble today:

http://www.amazon.com/You-Have-F-king-Eat/dp/1501238663

From the great folks who brought us Go the Fuck to Sleep!

Relevant, but actually cute: You have to fucking eat.

The sunrise is golden and lovely,

The birds chirp and twitter and tweet,

You woke me and asked for some breakfast,

So why the fuck won't you eat?

Blogspam is spammy spam spam. Joost Elffers is the shit, to be sure. But he's hardly bored, he's hardly a chef, and at a bare minimum, he deserves a little fucking credit.

Unless, of course, you're literally writing a book titled The Great American Novel.

(Which someone did.)

There's also Nanny Ogg's Cookbook.

The Patrician's recipe for Bread and Water is fantastic.

When my niece was born, the first of the grandchildren, I made it a point that once a month I sent my sister and BIL an "inappropriate" kids book. This was on the list, although my favorite is "K is for Knifeball", as even I thought this one went a little too far.

I read a book about cruise culture called cruise confidential

it's a big hookup scene. you might run into issues, but it's likely you'll be ok.

There is a sequel! You Have to Fucking Eat

That's a broad topic. Let's see:

• Recent, still relevant baseball: The Arm by Jeff Passan. One of the best sportswriters today goes way in-depth to what's going on with pitching injuries. Fascinating read.
  
  
• Historical / Classic Reads: Roger Kahn's The Boys of Summer, about the Brooklyn Dodgers in Jackie's day. Kahn's a wonderful storyteller.
  
  
• Weird, but wonderful: Philip Roth's The Great American Novel, about the fictional Patriot League. One of these days, I want to run an OOTP sim of the league and see what happens. Completely out there, but I loved it.
  
  
• Edit: Almost forgot! The Kid Who Only Hit Homers, by Matt Christopher. First baseball book I ever read.

I read the book Cruise Confidential a while back and afterwards swore to never go on a cruise myself. It's disgusting. I was curious if you've read it, would you say it's an accurate portrayal of the treatment of employees?

Other books by the same author: Play With Your Food, The Secret Language of Destiny, and Teddy's World.

Joost is sure the renaissance man!

I'd also have to recommend What to Eat by Marion Nestle.

It should also be noted (by Terry Pratchett fans especially) that Nanny Ogg's Cookbook is a real thing you can buy for $10 digital / $15 paperback. It's got a decent collection of recipes and is actually a very humorous read.

Marion Nestle lays it out pretty well in "What to Eat"

For those who want to make their own!
Nanny Ogg's Cookbook

I bought a ton, and I keep going back to the Mayo Clinic book. While it has the mostly same information, I found that The Mother of All Pregnancy Books was a little less well organized.

I thought I wouldn't like it because it was un-cited fluff, but I was pleasantly surprised by the candor of the Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy. Having the two types of books back-to-back felt reassuring.

Finally, I just bought Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, and I'm really liking her approach. The first section is all natural birth stories (to counteract some of the horror stories that may be more salient in our minds) and the second section is all about the physical process of labor with her (surprisingly well-researched) tips and philosophies on how natural labor actually works. If you're low-risk and have the attitude that childbirth is a natural function (which needs obstetrical care only in extreme or unusual cases), this book is an amazing guide to labor.

HAVE FUN!
Its a bit of a change from US to UK lifestyles. Go to drinks. GO! If a classmate asks you for a drink, or to the pub, just go. Its the best way to make friends.

Also join a club! Even as a grad student, (you might feel like an old person when everyone is like 18 years old) it is a great way to meet people.

Living situations are...interesting. UCL accommodation is definitely overpriced, but its a grantee of housing. I would suggest taking it for the first year, getting a feeling of where you want to live see if other people are looking (maybe one of your friends that you make at the pub will have a room open up).

Uni (not college, that's the last two years of high school for an American) is hard. Study up and go to class. You will have much more time to study, but most of your finals are in spring (even for the classes that end in December), so try to keep that information stored.

Lastly, do be afraid of the Brits. I'm not sure what your humo(u)r is like, but the Brits tend to be dry. Don't take anything they say too seriously, especially if everyone has been drinking. Don't be afraid to be sassy and sarcastic. You'll do a lot better than a fresh, green American. Lastly, look up some slang. It will help.

If you want some reading material, I would suggest [this book] (https://www.amazon.com/Watching-English-Hidden-Rules-Behavior/dp/185788616X) because it helped me get a more inside perspective on the social norms there.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I am also an American who did a masters at UCL.

This seems pertinent

COWS by Mathew Stokoe amazon

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk amazon

The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks amazon

Contingency Cannibalism: Superhardcore Survivalism's Dirty Little Secret by Shiguru Takada amazon

Apocalypse Culture by Adam Parfrey amazon

Eat Thy Neighbor by Daniel Diehl and Mark P. Donnelly amazon

We So Seldom Look On Love by Barbara Gowdy amazon

Those are just a few of my favorites.. by far COWS is the worst on the list.. You feel like you need a shower after finishing it, but at the same time if you're as into morbid stuff as I am, it's oddly cathartic in that you'll feel no need to scour the depths of the interwebs for nastiness for days (maybe weeks) afterwards..

Cooking with Fernet Branca.

Very good book and very quick read. I burned through it in a few days.

Does Adventure Time count as fantasy? It does to me, but it may not to others.... Anyway, there are two cookbooks for Adventure Time:

Official Cookbook

Unofficial/Inspired By

Also? The same lady who did the GoT cookbook has a WoW one out, too: WoW

Finally, my favorite one: Nanny Ogg's Cookbook

As a late comment, the author of the "children's" book 'Go the Fk to Sleep' is apparently publishing a sequel. It's called '[You Have to Fking Eat](http://smile.amazon.com/You-Have-F-g-Eat/dp/1617753785)'.

She absolutely is. If you want some English self-reflection, go and read „Watching the English“ by Kate Fox. It‘s hilarious whether you‘re English or not.

https://www.amazon.de/dp/185788616X/

That reminds me of this book.

May I suggest that you read Watching the English before you go? Key insight: the English believe strongly in not taking yourself too seriously.

I actually had a lot of positive experiences with the English.

Check out Jon Ronson! I've only read two of his books, The Psychopath Test and Lost at Sea, but they were both really good.

Here are a couple daily show interviews about the books if you want to get a feel for them. They're super entertaining. He's also had a couple segments on This American Life about similar subject matter.

On a different note, Salt is also way more interesting than it has any right to be.

There are others but oh god I really need to be studying for my exams.

And it's sequels?

I was looking for a post like this. While I love basketball and football, I never really followed baseball. It just didn't seem to provide the same excitement. But after reading Phillip Roth's The Great American Novel I'm a convert. Looking forward to this season.

If you're looking for football based fiction, check out Playing for Pizza by John Grisham.

A QB is cut from the Browns after ruining their AFC Championship dreams. He goes to Italy to play semi-pro ball.

psh, no book, haha. There's totally a manual for you. And you can check out the website too - my husband found this place very helpful.

If you haven't been through the Modern Drunkard book, website, or one of their magazines you have absolutely no idea what you missing. CA couldn't tie their drinking shoes.

Best book I own:http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Drunkard-Frank-Kelly-Rich/dp/1594481423/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b

I've been enjoying Your Pregnancy Week by Week, but I'm told the Mayo Clinic book is even better. The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy is overly cutesy and silly, but kinda fun.

I like The Happiest Baby series for parenting. Also, I read Becoming the Parent You Want to Be.

Because Awesome!

Mmmm I've gone through Quiet by Susan Cain, Watching the English by Kate Fox and am planning to read Silmarillion on the flight back.

[Thank You for Smoking] (https://www.amazon.com/Thank-You-Smoking-Christopher-Buckley-ebook/dp/B004089HZ2?ie=UTF8&btkr=1&ref_=dp-kindle-redirect)

Nick Naylor is a spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco Studies and he’s so good at it that he does enjoy the job, at least to begin with...

The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

We So Seldom Look on Love by Barabara Gowdy (more unnerving than the title suggests).

love this guy. some good potential.

Corny jokes: I have this book: https://www.amazon.com/Very-Embarrassing-Book-Dad-Jokes/dp/190755453X

One of the Play With Your Food books? https://www.amazon.com/Play-Your-Food-Joost-Elffers/dp/1556706308/

My favorite book

I've been really interested in reading the updated version of Kate Fox's "Watching the English". I'm a life-long anglofile of the highest order, and I read the original version though my copy was destroyed by flooding. This copy has an extra 140 pages though, so that's pretty cool.

Thanks for the contest!

Lost at Sea: The Jon Ronson Mysteries. Not much can preface this book, besides it's true stories from the strangeness of what exists around us; people places and things. I find this stuff extremely fascinating, and being nonfiction is what causes the tingle up my spine. Either that or a impending stroke. Link here.

EDIT spelling

Have you seent he book Milk Eggs Vodka?

I bought two for my significant other. DadLabs and Be Prepared.

Be Prepared came in first and he enjoyed it. I picked it up and flipped through it a bit. Lighthearted with just enough neat little "tips" that it makes it worth the couple bucks I spent on a nice used book. It's just kind of bathroom material now.

Then DadLabs came in. He read it cover to cover. Put bookmarks in. Highlighted stuff. He LOVED it. He isn't a big "reader" so that's saying a lot for him. I read a bit of this one too. It's practical and more serious than Be Prepared, but still fun and enjoyable to read. I also got a score on Amazon with this one, bought used, it showed up in perfect condition, and was signed by all the authors. :)

Thanks, we are making progress. Like I said, he recently added an entirely new food group with the burger. Half of his problem with food is "food anxiety". So the fact that he was even open to and ASKED for a burger was a huge step. So, the more "less threatening" we can make the food by making him comfortable with it, the better my chances are at being able to switch it up on him and start making my own that he will accept or by getting the burger at another place even. (He's a "food jagger".) so much more than I ever wanted to know about eating troubles!!!!




I did just preorder the following book on Amazon though :-P

my therapist swears by The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy.
