Nourishment or food for fools. "The gentleman has eaten no small quantity of flapdoodle in his lifetime. What's that? It's the stuff they feed fools on."-Marryat. "I shall talk to our regimental doctors about it, and get put through a course of fool's-diet before we start for India." Flapdoodle they call it, what fools are fed on."-T. Hughes.
