UnBooks:A Conoisseur's Guide to Dishes on Endangered Species
Introduction
Now, loads of softies around the world are spending way too much time thinking about all these endangered animals. This UnBook would probably piss those oh-so-easily-offended exemplary citizens off - and that's partly why it's here. Uncyclopedia, in collaboration with the famous Restaurant Le Cadavre proudly presents: A Connoisseur's Guide to Dishes on Endangered Species! Why go for the the tasty, when you can go for the classy? Oh, I envy those lucky Neanderthals who could feast on their Mammoth steaks! I mean, god forbid that I, Martha STEWartless, would even consider using plentiful road kill as that would be so beneath my unique palate and sensibilities thereof! We dare never use oppossum, squirrel, or rabbit as such creatures are a totally common redneck variety of food! So, on with the a culinary travel down the delightful and delicious road of environmentally challenged creature comfort food such as Kentucky Fried Giraffe Neck and Chinchilla Chili to elaborate dishes such as Panda Parmesean and Koala Stroganoff!
This is an incomplete list. It may never be fully completed, or depending on its nature, it may be that we have better things to do. However, new and revised entries in the list are always welcome.

Baby Baked Panda Parmesan Pasta
Ingredients: one baby Panda (serves eight), 2 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- Capture panda from local zoo (unless you happen to live in China, in which case you might find one in a forest near a grove of bamboo). Evade zookeepers and police vehicles. Preheat oven to 400F.
- While oven is preheating, shoot and butcher panda. Take care not to shoot yourself in the foot. Then clean up the broken glass and damage panda did to your house while you were chasing it around.
- While panda is cooking, put broccoli into a large saucepan; add water to cover
- Bake panda until lightly browned and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with red Italian Tosca wine. Afterwards, why not phone a lesbian (ex-girlfriend or something) and tell her how good your meal was? For a special treat: Find a cave to hide out in until law enforcement agents stop looking for you. Wear bite-proof pants in case they send in the K-9 unit.
French Manatee Surprise en Crout
~Changes in latitude, changes in attitude...
Ingredients: one Manatee, one cup heavy cream, two cups Gruyère cheese, one cup Merlot, four pounds leaks, one baguette, salt to taste.
- Remove the flippers from the Manatee and set aside, dispose of the rest of the animal by throwing it back into the inlet to bob about, or compost for garden use next spring. Clean the flippers and the place in pot with five cups lightly salted water and the render for an hour, simmering until a gelatinous layer forms. Let cool, add ice cubes, skim the scum, reserve two cups of the broth.
- Peel the leaks, chop into medium slices and then add to covered pot containing manatee broth. Place in 350 oven for 2-hours.
- Remove from oven (careful, the pot will be quite hot!) and place on stove top. Add one half cup of broth and cook down the leaks for 15 minutes over high heat. leaks should brown in about ten minutes, continue adding manatee broth - just enough to keep the leaks moist.
- A thick coating of brownish manatee rue should form; deglaze the pan with the Merlot.
- Add in the creme and remaining manatee broth, bring to boil for five minutes, remove from heat.
- Ladle the creme soup into oven proof bowls, cover with a slice of baguette and Gruyère cheese; place under broiler until golden brown.

- Serve with a fine red merlot and enjoy!
