Oh, I've had chicken and rice growing up as a child, but my Mother always prepared the two together - cooked them together - and with added spices and some sort of creamy chicken broth/sauce poured into the mix.

Here in Peru, you'll find a plate heaped up and overflowing with with rice. On the side of the plate, you'll find the number one choice in meat - chicken. Almost invariably chicken.

Getting into seafood, however, is a different matter. Peruvian seafood dishes are fresh and delicious!

I've heard that mixing in a little ayahuasca makes everything taste better?

I always thought the only way to make chicken and rice was to cook them together.

I've never had it and it's too dangerous to experiment with (in my opinion).

Speaking as a Canadian, this book sucks big time. Perhaps the introduction gives a gentle clue: Real Canadian Cooking is a mix of French, Canadian, and North American style cuisines from bacon to maple to poutine.

Did someone move Canada off the North American continent when I wasn't looking?

What is Canadian about "Canadian Cod Ceviche"? Though Food Network has the identical recipe as "Peruvian Ceviche". The Halifax Donair might qualify though again using ground lamb to follow the original recipe might have been better and leaving off the toppings section of the original recipe is not good. Canadian Bacon and vegetable soup? Hormel called and they want their "Creamy Canadian Bacon and Vegetable" soup recipe back. The Food Network would also like their "Roast Goose with Currant Kumquat Compote" recipe back. French Canadian Tourtiere with no ground pork? Blasphemer! Though again another recipe borrowed from the Food Network. Finally, let's look at Lynn Crawford's Venison with Sweet Potato Dauphinoise, again from the Food Network. Though in the Food Network version, they did manage to spell thyme correctly. To quote the ebook: "1 small handful of fresh time". What the heck, we all need a chuckle. Pork Ball Stew (Rabout de Boulettes?). Add the flour... sadly missing from the list of ingredients, "Herbs for seasoning"? What herbs?

Basically, I had a quick look through the recipes and virtually every recipe was copied from the Internet and then errors were added.

A poorly laid out book with measurements in Imperial rather than metric with some odd conversion errors where the original recipes used metric measurements.

I assumed it was another one of those Hansel and Gretel cookbooks...

Perhaps a sequel to To Serve Man?

I read the short story by Damon Knight before I ever saw the episode.

I was thinking about the cookbook. See To Serve Man: A Cookbook for People (free with KU) on Amazon CA otherwise $3.99 Cdn.

Sample recipe:

Spoiler:

Some argue that cowboy meat is too tough to be served any other way, especially since the spices tend to kill the taste of whatever the donor may have been smoking, drinking, or chewing. Others discount this argument, but agree that Chili is a practical, quick way to serve Man in well-disguised form.

— Meat of 1 reasonably well-muscled Cowboy, ground coarsely
— 15 pounds onions, chopped
— 10 cloves garlic, crushed
— 1/2 cup cooking oil
— 25 pounds pre-cooked kidney beans
— 25 pounds fresh tomatoes
— 2 oz. salt
— 6 to 12 oz. chili powder
— 2 oz. sugar
— 1/2 oz. pepper, freshly ground
— (Optional: 40 green bell peppers, coarsely chopped)
— (Optional: 3 tsp. paprika

On a frying grill or in a battery of skillets, brown onions, meat, and bell peppers (cut up)if used, for about 5 minutes per batch. Peel and quarter tomatoes. Put tomatoes, beans with their cooking water, and 2-1/2 gallons additional water in large kettle or wash boiler (or divide among several smaller ones). Add meat, onions, peppers if used, and seasonings. Simmer for 90 minutes; serve in bowls or with rice.

For 150.
