In the USN SOS was just as likely to be red as white.

Yes they did. In 1941 American war ships were well equipt with reefers
and
freezers.

You wouldn't store meat loaf mix, gets cooked soon as it's put
together... it's a big no-no to store ground meat containing raw onion,
garlic, egg. Plain ground meat takes no more room than mystery meat
from the stupidmarket... and no one says you need to grind huge
batches. Takes but a few minutes to grind say 10lbs... which really
isn't much turned into burgers and one and two pound packs... but sure
is handy to have, especially when you know what/who is in it.

I usually make up a gravy from the loaf dripings... don't care for
tomato sauce on meat loaf either... but do like ketchup on cold meat
loaf sandwiches.
I don't know how anyone can admit with a straight face that they use
stupidmarket mystery meat and call themselves a cook. The new Waring
grinders work very well, only cost $119 and take up very little
space... no law says it has to stay out on the counter, in fact if you
have kids I'd recommend you lock it up in the gun cabinet.
