Cooking with Kang and Kodos/References

Cultural references

 * The cookbook that Serak had lent Kodos is titled To Serve Man, a reference to the  episode.
 * This particular episode has also been parodied in The Simpsons first halloween special, "Treehouse of Horror".
 * Kang tells Kodos that cooking is the work of males, and that it is demeaning to see her even try it. This is a role reversal of stereotypical gender roles on earth.
 * When Kodos tells Kang what she is making for dinner, Kang says "just like the one who spawned us used to make", a play on the phrase "just like mother used to make".

Trivia

 * Kodos is refered to as being female.
 * Even though Kang says that cooking is the work of males, he reveals shortly after that their own mother used to cook for them.
