Was a meatloaf sandwich the result of a late-night refrigerator run? And does anyone really crave green bean casserole,  complete with fried onions on top? In this time of hyper-awareness  of locality—when every roast chicken needs a pedigree of a free-range home and antibiotic-free past—it’s time to celebrate the very  basics of American cooking. The joy of Velveeta and pleasures of  Jell-O. In this fun collection, author Ann Treistman takes readers  on a journey through a 1950s kitchen, sometimes with surprising  results.

The practice of removing the yolks from hard-boiled eggs,  mixing it with spices and refilling the shells was fairly common  by the 1600s. Why the devil? Well, it’s hot in hell, and by the 18th  century, it was all the rage to devil any food with a good dose of  spice.
