The link just worked for me. "How to Serve Man" is the title of a 1962
science fiction story by Lloyd Bochner, Richard Kiel and Susan Cummings
in which a book of that title, written in an alien language, turned out
to be a cookbook. The story later became a Twilight Zone episode. An
actual book of that title was published, presumably as a spoof.

Was a Simpson's story line too. Hard to be original.
Good little book "The anxiety of Influence."

How can three people write a story? The basic idea is the product
of one person, so it seems that if anyone else is involved, espec-
ially in a work that short, they couldn't help but dilute it or drag
it off in unintended directions. "Too many cooks," and all that.

The tipoff for me was that Richard Kiel played "Jaws" in Moonraker.

I wondered why I hadn't heard of any of the "authors". I looked it up to
make sure I wasn't spewing garbage and spewed someone else's garbage
instead. My bad! The date is more reasonable, too.

I guess Bochner et.al. wrote the TV script.

I was surprised to realize while watching that, that they actually made
it seem tasty and gave me a willingness to try them.
