It’s April Fool’s Day, and just in case you’re planning a party to celebrate, the April 23rd, 1953 issue of the Raeford News-Journal has some suggestions for refreshments (page 5). According to the “Kitchen Clatter” column, April Fool’s Day surprises need not be unpleasant (such as salt in the sugar bowl or chocolate-covered onions). Instead, delight your guests with the “exceedingly pleasant” recipe for “Surprise Meat Devils”, which consist primarily of corn flakes and ground beef. Depending on your gastronomic preferences, however, these might turn out to be a little bit of an April Fool’s joke after all.
