Abstract

In this article my aim is to show how two Science-Fiction literary works develop the human need to identify and incorporate the strange in culinary terms and how such processes can lead to the disruption of their culinary system. The two selected stories for this article, ‘Beyond Lies the Wub’ by the American author Philip K. Dick, first published in 1952, and ‘The Heart of a Snark’, written by the Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko in 2009, concentrate on the interaction between humans and alien creatures, where the culinary is central.
