Italiano
April 18, 1961:
Joe Simonton was loitering on his farm in Wisconsin, when his attention was suddenly grabbed by a “whining sound”.
With enormous surprise, Joe found himself in front of a spaceship, from which a figure resembling a terrestrial man descended, wearing “a black, turtleneck pullover with a white band at the belt and black trousers with a vertical white band along the side”.
Two other aliens followed.
According to Joe’s own words (who, by unfortunate chance, was the only witness), the three, short in stature and with dark complexion, “resembled Italians”.
After asking the man for some water (they asked him using hand gestures. Like an Italian would do…), one of the aliens began to cook, “frying on a flameless grill “.
Let’s skip the” flameless “part … but how they were frying on a grill, is really hard to imagine.
Anyway… Joe was so curious He asked for some of that food. The aliens satisfied him with “three ordinary pancakes or cookies, about three inches in diameter, perforated with small holes”.
Joe tasted one, and was not impressed: as he said “they tasted like cardboard”.
Once the aliens were gone, Joe contacted the US Air Force, which had those “pancakes” examined.
Unsurprisingly, the ingredients of the space pancakes were very “terrestrial”: hydrogenated fat, starch, buckwheat, soy and bran.
They were completely lacking in salt, which suggests that the alien Italian-looking pastry chefs with a terrible fashion sense, suffered of high blood pressure.
Anyway… Fancy to make some pancake down here on earth?
I do have the right equipment for you…
