From Soup to Nuts : How to Badda Boom, Badda Bing and Find Your Inner Mobster

By Jon Macks

Isn't it about time? In an era when whole grains and macrobiotic eating are fashion statements, and carnivores ate as demonized as smokers, the time is ripe for injecting a little levity into the proceedings. Consider it done. While Thomas Harris's Hannibal feeds the appetite for serious cannibal fiction, this book has its tongue firmly lodged in its proverbial check. Think of it as an unabashed celebration of the flesh.

Great!!

One of the most humorous and clever books that I have ever read!

Hilarious, rough humor - not for wimps.

This is the type of stuff guys would joke about after having a few drinks. And let's face it - haven't your friends made you laugh harder than any comedian has? The author has captured the same kind of natural humor on paper. I guess some people would find portions of it too rough, but those are the parts I found the funniest. If you're squeamish about dark humor(Hey, it's only words.) take a star or two off my rating.Women, take a guy's advice - this would make a great gift for your husband or boyfriend.

Very funny in a sick, twisted way. Left me hungry for more.

If the national press corps gets ahold of this, they'll make the next "Have you ever..." question for politicians not cocaine, but cannibalism! Both the jokes and the recipes are based on new material, (and freshness, as we know from "Omnivorous", is the key.) But what I liked best about the book was how it shocked and offended my prissier friends. That alone was worth the purchase price!

A great tongue and cheek parody of the Hannibal phenomena.

This is a fabulous book. A great tongue and cheek parody of the Hannibal phenomena. The author has a warped and very funny sense of humor. You must read it. A great gift for Halloween.

A pefect gift for cooks in need of a laugh!

If whoever does the cooking in your house needs a good laugh, get them this book. It's light, witty, and a perfect gift for anyone with a wacky sense of humor. (And try the "menestrone" soup - it might be just what you're craving...)
