Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be placed in a standard anomalous document locker in Site-64's E Wing. Testing is restricted to Level 2 personal with permission from a Level 4 administrator. Testing is not allowed at this time unless express permission is given by Level 4 personnel (see Incident Report XXXX A for more details).

Description: SCP-XXXX is a cookbook, 8 inches by 10 inches, which is bound in a dark brown material and features the title "The Cannibal Cowboy's Cookbook" in yellow lettering. The picture on the front features a caricature of a cowboy tasting soup from a cast iron pot, which is over a fire. The binding material feels akin to faux leather. Testing of said material came back as inconclusive. The publication information inside the book states it was printed in 1973 by the company ██████ █████████ ██████████. No record of such a book being published by said company exists and no employees, past or present, have any memory of the book.

The book contains 32 recipes of a western or cowboy theme, centered around a character named "Bob 'The Cannibal' Larson", who is presented as a real historical figure that became famous due to his many crimes, including cannibalism. No record of such a person ever existing has been found. The recipes all include some amount of meat, which is referred to as "human flesh" followed by the actual intended meat in brackets (usually pork, beef or chicken). It is to be noted that the amount of meat required is usually larger then the standard amount one would use for such a recipe. Anyone who reads this book will find the recipes to be appealing, regardless of whether or not they usually enjoy the food or ingredients used to make it. They will feel an urge to make the food that will last up to 12 days after viewing, depending on how much was read and how long they viewed the images.

SCP-XXXX was first recovered by field agents in the town of ██████, Oregon on March 23^rd, 199█ after a report involving a woman who was arrested after she allegedly removed 3 pounds of flesh from her sister's abdomen and thighs, then used them to prepare a version of "Southwestern Beef Brisket" (found on pg 24 off SCP-XXXX), despite the fact that her sister was almost 2000 km away from her at the time (see Interview Log XXXX-1 for more details).

It appears that when a person, hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-1, attempts to use the meat specified by SCP-XXXX's recipe it is replaced by human flesh during the cooking process. This effect is instantaneous and appears to happen at random through the cooking time period. This flesh comes from a person SCP-XXXX-1 is close with, often a sibling or parent.(see Addendum XXXX-A). Any attempt to use other materials in the place of the recommended meat will result in the recipe coming out as expected given the ingredients used and instructions followed.

Addendum XXXX-A: When SCP-XXXX-1 attempts to recreate a SCP-XXXX recipe using the meat suggested it will invariably be replaced with human flesh (mimicking the manner in which the original meat is prepared) at a random point during the cooking process. While those who have not read the book within 12 days may notice the change, anyone currently under SCP-XXXX's influence will not notice this, even if it's pointed out to them. The human flesh is sourced from SCP-XXXX-1's closest living blood relative, and generally comes from the thighs, hips, abdomen and posterior, although if not enough flesh is available in these areas it will be taken from elsewhere. This transfer is instantaneous which causes most victims, hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-2, to go into shock and bleed out in a matter of minutes. The removal of said flesh is done precisely with a weapon the medical examiner compared to a well sharpened buck knife.

Test Log XXXX-01

Test XXXX-01 - 199█/03/25

Participants: D-1776

Procedure: Subject is to read a the recipe from SCP-XXXX for Barley & Lentil Soup (found on pg 14), and then be provided the necessary ingredients and working space for the subject to complete the recipe. Barley & Lentil Soup contains the least amount of meat required in the book, 14 ounces of sausage.

Results: D-1776, hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-1-B, prepared the dish as instructed. 2 minutes and 42 seconds into cooking the sausage, staff noted that the sausage seemed to change color slightly to a lighter shade. When asked about this change SCP-XXXX-1-B claimed to notice no difference. D-1776's brother (hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-2-B) was being monitored 2602 km away by a medical team and, at the exact same time the meat changed color, was reported to grab at abdomen and vocalize distress. He was treated for a wound just under the left rib cage that was caused by approximately 14 ounces of flesh being removed. When SCP-XXXX-1-B was asked to try the sausage and report on the taste, subject stated it "tasted great" and was "like the polish sausages my mom used to make".

Analysis: SCP-XXXX seems to target family member, although it is still unclear it this time if that is a constant or if it might also use flesh from people SCP-XXXX-1 feel close too. Subject seems unable to seem, feel or taste the change in meat.

Test Log XXXX-02

Test XXXX-02 - 199█/05/03

Participants: D-1783

Procedure: Subject, who is without close family relations and feels closeness to someone they are not related to by blood, is to read a the recipe from SCP-XXXX for "Tex-Mex Sloppy Joes" (found on pg 28), and then be provided the necessary ingredients and working space for the subject to complete the recipe. News sources, corners reports etc are to be monitored for unanticipated occurrences of SCP-XXXX-2.

Results: D-1783, hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-1-C, prepared the dish as instructed. 6 minutes and 3 seconds into cooking the beef, it was noted that the texture underwent a change. When asked about this change SCP-XXXX-1-C was not able to tell the difference. When no change was reported in SCP-XXXX-1-C's cellmate (who the research staff had theorized SCP-XXXX-1-C was closest to) the test was halted and testing was run on the meat to identify who it originated from. See Incident Report XXXX-A for more details on the outcome of Test XXXX-02.

Analysis: After the event's of Test XXXX-02 all human testing involving the cooking of meat is suspended due to the accidental collateral damage that may occur.

[Begin Log]

Interviewer: Hello, I am Dr █████, I will be conducting you're interview today.

SCP-XXXX-1-A: Where am I? What's going on right now?

SCP-XXXX-1-A is exhibiting clear signs of emotional distress and confusion

Interviewer: Could you tell me what you where doing the days leading up to your arrest?

SCP-XXXX-1-A: I didn't kill her! I wasn't anywhere near here, how could I have done it?

SCP-XXXX-1-A begins to cry

Interviewer: We don't believe you murdered her, but we need to confirm the events. What where you doing the days leading up to your arrest?

SCP-XXXX-1-A: I-I was getting ready for a dinner party. Everything was normal. I don't know how…

Interviewer: Take your time.

SCP-XXXX-1-A: I remember everything that happened the last couple of days. I don't know how her… her meat became the brisket. I KNOW I used steak from the supermarket. I have receipt and everything.

Interviewer: And did you notice any changes to the meat you where using while preparing it?

SCP-XXXX-1-A: No. It looked just like the recipe the whole time.

Interviewer: And what recipe is this?

SCP-XXXX-1-A: Southwestern Beef Brisket. It just looked so good I thought my friends would enjoy it. The detective said that the meat came back as matching my sister perfectly. How is that possible? Is this some sort of conspiracy?

Interviewer: We can talk about that later. Where did you get this recipe?

SCP-XXXX-1-A: A cookbook, I think it's name was Cowboy Cannibal Cookbook or something.

Interviewer: Have you used recipes from the cookbook before?

SCP-XXXX-1-A: No, I only got it recently.

Interviewer: Where did you get it from?

SCP-XXXX-1-A opens mouth as if to respond, then pauses and adopts a look of confusion

SCP-XXXX-1-A: I don't remember. I think I bought it somewhere? I can't seem to remember where. Why can't I remember? What the hell is going on?

SCP-XXXX-1-A become extremely agitated and is reminded to stay seated

Interviewer: Have you calmed down now? Can you tell us any other events that stand out as odd or suspicious in the last week or so?

SCP-XXXX-1-A: Well my neighbor, █████ █████████, recently got the ugliest birdbath I've ever seen and…

The rest of the interview was deemed unnecessary or irrelevant, and has been removed.

Closing Statement: After 32 minutes of what was later deemed to be unnecessary information, SCP-XXXX-1-A was escorted to a standard humanoid containment cell and observed for 24 hours. After no anomalous events occurring, she was treated with a Class B amnestic and released. All others with direct contact or knowledge of the events caused by SCP-XXXX where treated similarly and a disinformation campaign was enacted regarding the facts of SCP-XXXX-1-A's sister's death.

INCIDENT REPORT

INCIDENT #: XXXX-A
DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 199█/05/03
PERSONNEL INVOLVED: Researcher ██████, D-1783

---

Researcher ██████ was conducting a test with D-1783 to ascertain the full properties of SCP-XXXX using the recipe "Tex-Mex Sloppy Joes" from pg 28 at approximately 9:46 AM. D-1783 had been convicted of 6 counts of first degree murder, all of his victims being his immediate family members. A team of medical professionals had been stationed to keep an eye on D-1783's great aunt, believed at the time to be his closest blood relatives, who was in The ██████████ Hospital and had been declared brain dead. At 10:32 AM D-1783 had begun to cook the ground beef, and 8 minutes and 23 seconds later the replacing of said meat with human flesh occurred, despite no reports of damage being caused to D-1783's great aunt. At the same time, Dr ████████████ (who was located at Site-██ during this time), collapsed and began to hemorrhage from her abdomen and thighs. Due to the fact that this event occurred in her office, she was not found until an hour later, at which point she had already died due to blood loss. Site-██ was then placed into a lockdown until the cause of Dr ████████████'s death could be found. It was eventually found that D-1783 was the half-brother of the Doctor, a fact that no one had been aware of, until the comparison had been made between the Dr ████████████'s death and the death of SCP-XXXX's victims and a blood test was performed. No disciplinary action was taken with Researcher ██████ as it was concluded that they had no way of knowing the outcome of such a test. All tests using live test subjects with SCP-XXXX are to be suspended until a period of time when closest blood relatives of test subjects are able to be indisputably confirmed.
