I add a chopped hard-boiled egg and a dash or two of Worcerstershire I
make no apologies for this--it is very good.

This term "creamed chip beef' is new to me, so I did a bit of
googling. Is this something like what you are referring to:

The above recipe link recommends cold beer, which would be rather more
to my taste (except for breakfast .

Go with the cold beer. ;-)

According to my father, this dish was the driving force behind our Naval
victories in the Pacific during WWII. Guys on his ship were prepared to do
ANYTHING, if it meant ending the war sooner, so they never had to eat the
stuff again.

Maybe it would have been more acceptable if they had allowed cold beer
on US naval ships. ;-)

Similar to what I sometimes do (though not every time I have creamed chipped
beef): I top it with a poached or soft-boiled egg and a dash either of
Pickapeppa or Tabasco.

On the way home this morning I had a hankering for breakfast so I picked
up the fix'ns for SOS ... including hamburger. Also chopped some onion
and fried it along with the mystery meat.

Holy cow! My flour jar was empty! What to do? Well I had some masa flour
so I used that. It wasn't as good as regular old off the street flour,
but it was ok. It was edible but flour is now number one on my shopping
list.

Got to go now ... a dentist wants to do a root canal somewhere in my
mouth later this morning. 8-(

I wasn't in that skirmish, but my Navy days included a pretty good dose of
SOS.
Two varieties. One as described with white gravy (breakfast or Mid Rat
fare ) and one made with ground meat (mystery meat) in a red gravy. Dinner
offering.

Grew to like the white sauce one, but the red one gave me the shits.

Haven't had it since.

I half expected to see our late Moosemeat weigh in on this topic, as he

I don't think it is, Richard. I suspect the real stuff is more like
the South African dried meat "biltong".
[See: <http://www.biltongmakers.com/biltong06_recipes.html>
(and note links on the LHS of that page).]

Or, perhaps, the yankee "beef jerky".
[See: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef_jerky> ]

I gather ordinary mince can be substituted if necessary; but I'm
waiting for informed comment from the yankee denizens of RFC. :-)

Cheers, Phred.

The AF version wasn't so bad, according to my DH. He said that the guys
coming off night guard duty would try to scare up extra meal chits for
it when they came off the shift. :-) He remembers it fondly.

Chip beef is salted dried beeef, sliced very thin and broken.

I had once posted the recipe for the SOS I had in the marines -

it involved chilled damp toast, large quantities of hamburger beef grease
and flour mixed together into a lumpy mix the consistency of mortar
(seriously), served at room temperature.

It was one of the three "dishes" I remember as being uniquely military
high-calorie food: deep-fried duck and medium rare beef liver lightly boiled
in melted grease being the other two
(no, not fried - lightly boiled. I believe the military felt that
"deep-fryers" were never to be set over 300F. Gives new meaning to the
comment "duck is a greasy meat" )

You know the salt content is out of sight, though.

This kind of food is what kept you alive as you walked 8 miles to school,
through 3 foot snow drifts, wearing nothing but newspapers wrapped around
your feet.

You had newspapers? Luxury! When *I* was a kid we walked barefoot.

My mom made it that way too, along with finely chopped onions, bell
peppers and garlic, then she made a roux with the leftover juice to make
a thick sort of lumpy gray.

We'd then toast some bread and break it up into a bowl, then pour the
SOS back over it. Add salt and pepper to taste.

It was wonderful.

Agreed!

Another common variation (at least where I'm from) is to pour the gravy over
biscuits instead of toast. Ham gravy is commonly used too.

Of course, that's technically not SOS. The name "SOS" comes from the lumpy
consistency of the gravy and the shingle-like shape of the toast. And maybe
the taste of the gravy too, depending on who makes it. :-)

LOL!!!!! OH Kat.. I can't believe anyone would give such a name to food
))

Why does everyone insist on spelling out the nasty words in this? My
grandkids read this newsgroup and I don't think they ought to be exposed
to the flagrant use of this kind of language. Sure they know it but
hopefully they won't flaunt it in such a manner as used here.

My wife and I were both in the service and learned to like SOS very much
and still have it at times. Any ex-GI knows what SOS is and that is
descriptive enough of a term.

It's a military thing... ;-)
Mom and dad met in the Air Force.

The official name is "cream chipped beef on toast". <G>

Go figure the nicknames that recipes get assigned sometimes? ;-D

Might make an interesting thread......

and I'll bet most of them involve breakfast food!

This is a rare occurence.

Ok, so I'll start:

Toad in the hole (Yorkshire pudding with sausage I believe?)

Pigs in a Blanket (sausage or hot dog meatrolls in dough)

Can't think of any others off hand, too tired and need to get some sleep
for the day. ;-)

Yep. I think it dates back to when military food was really, really horrible.
The gravy looked and tasted like s**t, and the toast was hard as a shingle.

I served in the AF more recently (87-91), and what they served then was very
bland but edible cafeteria food. Not horrible, just horribly boring.

That's ok - a spinach pie with pepperoni, garlic, seasonings etc. is
known as a Wimpy Skippy around here.
