THE DAY ALIENS ATTACKED VIRGINIA

A classic Twilight Zone episode featured aliens who show up on Earth and promise an end to the woes of mankind. Humans rejoice as the plagues of the Earth are slowly brought to an end. We later learn that the manual these helpful alien beings work from is entitled "To Serve Man". Unfortunately, the volume turns out to be a cookbook, featuring humans as the celebrated ingredient.

S'kat recounts her experience of being visited by small, sticky red aliens. However, she cleverly turned the tables and discovered just how tasty these globulous beings can be. The twist in her tale is that these are not actually alien life forms, but her own personal invasion of Acme Instant Ingredients.



I wish to give specials thanks to the life forms at Serious Eats who gave a nod to me and Acme Instant Ingredients on Friday. These guys have exceptionally good taste (yum), which should be apparent to any food lover who hasn't been visiting another planet for the last year. If you have, I suggest you find time to put away the space helmet, sit down at their table and dive into their amazing content.
