I'm not going there about hamburger vs. chipped beef and I don't call
it SOS anyway, so I have no dog in this fight. But I don't think all
those additions are military issue.

Of course not, but just as some military people alter their uniforms
to make them look a bit sharper, some cooks might just add a touch
of some off-recipe spice or herb to make the food taste a bit
better. Cooks in big mess halls not so much; cooks in the field or
in smaller units or bases, yeah. Y'know, it is not a court-martial
offense. Some mess halls have really good food, some not so.
Just a fact of life.

That rings a bell-- I remember the sausage version somewhere. [I
landed at Hickam but never ate there- so they weren't the only ones
who used sausage.]

Your mom wasn't born knowing how to make it and California is full of
transplants, so maybe she learned how to make it from a Southerner.

Ground beef stewing in evaporated milk. Sounds like a great emetic,
and looks like the result of a great emetic.

I had it with onion powder when I was a kid in the northeast. Wider

SOS isn't any more Scottish than your mother is Southern.

Steady on there. Haven't you ever heard of Minced Beef Stroganoff,
famously presented in Scotland whenever the Haggis crop failed?

My husband was WW2 vet. I made that often whern the kids were
young. I always
use chip beef and made white gravy to go with it over toast. That
was so good.

It's not creamed chipped beef because it doesn't contain chipped beef. It
contains hamburger.

There are myriad recipes which can legitimately be called "shit on a
shingle," but unless they contain chipped beef, they *cannot* be called
"creamed chipped beef."

Actually, a coworker introduced me to a powdered milk brand which is pretty
good. The brand is Milkman.

It's true; when the CO is present, officers have to request permission to
leave the table.

I grew up on that stuff.

I use powdered milk for cooking. We don't drink much milk so don't keep it
in the house.

The cooler the temperature less would be the demand on the air conditioners. This in turn reduces the usage of electricity, and there by saving the resources.

The military consumes powdered milk by the ton... when prepared just
prior to serving most don't like it... the secret to having it taste
good is to prepare it at least 24 hours prior to drinking. All of the
components of powdered milk do not reconstitute instantly, so the
flavor is off and it's too watery. Another trick that improves its
flavor is to each gallon add just one drop of vanilla, because most
people use funky water... you can't expect water from a tap to taste
like from a tit.
