The Twilight Zone S3E24 'To Serve Man' - DVR
Something to do with a cook book....
Trivia: The newspaper that Patty picks up is the actual June 14, 1961, 
edition of "The Los Angeles Times." The top-most headline reads; 
"Specialist Checks John F. Kennedy's Back." The main banner headline 
reads; "4-HOUR POWER OUTAGE BRINGS CHAOS TO N.Y.," which refers to the 
previous evening's power failure in New York City.
The only episode in the series where someone other than Rod Serling 
directly addresses the audience.
In 1976 Owlswick Press, Philadelphia, published a book titled "To Serve 
Man: A Cookbook for People" by "Karl Würf" (ISBN 0 913896 05 5, LCCN 
76-004348). It contains 71 recipes, all using people, including 
Mannerschnitzel, Chile con Hombre, Arabian Tomato & Infidel Soup, 
Hungarian Ghoulash [sic], and Blood Sausage. It is dedicated to Damon 
Knight, "for the name, the title and the kind permission to use both". 
Adding to the joke is the fact that the Library of Congress classifies 
it, not as a satire, parody or literary work, but as a cookbook (call 
number TX652.W83), in the company of 5,306 other culinary works. This 
means that the cataloging librarian either didn't have a clue or else 
had a sense of humor. ("Karl Würf" is a pseudonym for the late 
science-fiction author and editor George H. Scithers.)
Without looking it up, do you know who plays the Kanamit?  ;)
