Folks,

TWTFS linked to this recently, and I have to admit that the fact that this cookbook even exists inspires black thoughts:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1852250437

Of course, from a standpoint of nutrition and taste, this is almost as bad:

So, what do you think is the most depressing cookbook sold today?

The reviews are great for a good laugh though.

What's even more unbelivable than the content is the price of the first book. Did somebody just publish 10 books, so now they are collector's items?

Well, perhaps the saddest part was the "People who bought this also bought......" Yikes.

You do know that every time I click on an Amazon link that product shows up in banner ads for a week, don't you?

The reviews kept us laughing for a long time. Some great writing there.

Did anyone else notice that what people who viewed this most also viewed was Grand Theft Auto? That's not depressing, that's scary.
