Good point. Poor choice of words. It looked like he had taken a more civil tone, without changing his stance. I respected that. Now it seems that was a ruse. Too bad.

I gotta get my two cents in with this Chip Beef stuff. When I was a kid (circa WW 2) my mom would buy chipped beef in a jar, take it out and rinse it well in order to take most of the salt out. Then she would make a fantastic cream sauce and serve the whole thing on toast. It's still one of my favorite things.

OK, I have read and read and read about all this chipped beef stuff and recipes. And I have to honestly say I, thank God, have never eaten any. Isn't it also called "s**t on a shingle"? Is that the same thing? I always thought people hated that stuff. Wasn't it a regular army meal?

OK the furthest back I could find was WWI

here is recipe and commentary......lol (another forum talking about it)



Uncle Sam's **** on a Shingle

I have been curious what **** on a Shingle was actually like. Being a child of relative peace but still closely related to the military industrial complex I figured I would cook myself a batch of government regulation **** on a Single. and you know what.. It wasn't that bad. Now this dish dates back to World War One and my Grandpa ate it in World War 2, my step dad had it is the Cold War, my Dad had it in when he was in the Army at Fort Bragg and I will bet you that Peter Clute has had a plate of this stuff during his active duty days. Now this recipe is adapted from the official Army recipe but I scaled it down from cooking for 60 men to one single nerd.

1 T Butter

1 Cup Flour

Evaporated milk, 12 oz can

1 Cup Beef Broth from about one cube of the dried stuff.

1 Tsb dried Parsley

1 Tsb Pepper

1 Can of Chipped or Corned Beef.

2 or 3 pieces per person of bread for toast

A shot or two from a bottle of your favorite Tabasco sauce. I like Habanero and garlic

In a sauce pan or big frying pan melt the butter on medium heat and add the flour and brown it. Now this is making a rou and I was surprised to see the French culinary influence in this dish. Add the cup of Beef broth and can of Evaporated milk and bring it almost to a boil while stirring it with a fork or a whisk. Stir in the can of beef and break apart with your spoon. stir in the parsley and pepper and once the sauce is at the desired amount of lumpiness place the toast on a plate and drench it in the stuff. Garnish with some shots of Tabasco sauce and Saltine crackers.

This dish can be made out of cheap canned goods and is a one pot meal that is pretty hard to screw up. I guess that after a day of shooting at Germans and Commies it tastes really damn good. My Step dad still raves about how good Navy issue **** on a Shingle is.

I don't know why but this just seamed appropriate and ironic that we are now probably weeks from another questionable foreign war. I don't know why but this dish made me want to go and shoot people in other countries. But since I am no longer of draft age and I am a shitty shot in real life I guess I will just play some Return to Wolfenstein.

HA! dude S.O.S. is almost the best damn, timeless meal ever made for our MAGNIFICENT armed forces! I can assure you that in the National Guard it is a common meal that I always look forward to. There is nothing like eating something made out of meat....and flour....and, well idunno all that other stuff. I am inspired that you want to kill dirty BASTARD foriegners but yet....disturbed. You wouldnt be such a bad shot if you just practice a lot. It is all about the "muscle memory". An ignorant bastard like me could teach you how to be an efficient human weapon system with the will to destroy and blow stuff up and eat S.O.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Hmmmm.... that disturbs me... not that you want to go shoot foreign bastards... that you LIKE S.O.S.!!! My former step father LOVED that stuff (was in the army for 12 years)... It made me want to hurl just to look at it.

You need help dear... first it was the SPAM now it's S.O.S. *sigh*

Posted by: Judy at January 27, 2003 10:13 PM

There is just something funny about the words---"chipped beef". I mean it is just a wierd visual ya know? Come to think of it "creamed beef" sounds almost as wierd....but somehow good.

Posted by: pete at January 28, 2003 09:11 AM

Worse than that. Have you ever thought about what Cheese really is. Rotten, Solidified cow milk that has gone bad so far that it actually tastes good.

Posted by: Jake at January 28, 2003 09:15 AM

Yeah I know!!! I love it! damn who thinks up this stuff to begin with anyway? I mean where the hell did the idea for cheese come from? Did someone forget to wash a bucket and see the curd in there and say "i think i will take a taste of that sticky rotten **** in there"? What the hell..... it is good stuff nonetheless and thank gawd some sick bastard decided to give it a taste or we wouldnt have pizza.

Posted by: pete at January 28, 2003 09:44 AM

My question is, why is there a giant fortune cookie on the plate with your SOS?

Posted by: Kyle Thompson at January 30, 2003 12:25 PM

Those are smaller slices of toast. I like to buy the sliced they bake fresh at safeway and it is not as large other bread

Posted by: Jake at January 30, 2003 12:54 PM

And you people haven't had the ARMY version of SOS? Instead of that expensive chipped beef stuff (which Navy guys told me was one of the most popular meals, cuz after all it's salty and creamy and... hm. Well, I heard they get REAL lonely on those ships). Anyway, instead of the CB, Army SOS uses crumbled fried hamburger. SOS can be total crap (library paste with little pieces of rubber in it) or it can be juicy, rich and satisfying. Use good ingrediants, cook 'em right, and don't hurry, and you'll be hooked. Really good: garnish with slices of fresh tomatoes. Beer on the side don't hurt -- tho' the classic Army drink with it is coffee, cuz in the army coffee is like blood. Want to know how to stop war? Sneak up on the worlds' military and steal all their coffee and all their duct tape. They will be helpless. (And that is exactly how cheeze originated. Food that nobody can afford to throw out. Leftovers from hell. Nuoc mam, Lutefisk, beer, wine. Anything fermented probably started as an accident...aren't you glad they had lazy scullions?

Posted by: Donna Barr at March 28, 2003 02:15 PM

Well it depends on where you are when you have it. The Navy versions tend to have less fresh meat depending on the type of ship you are on. My stepdad told me how the food would change on the duration of one of their nine-month tours on the boomer sub that he was on. The fresh food would be done after the first month and after that everything was frozen of canned. Pete is in the Army reserve but I guess has mostly MREs when on duty. My grandpa and dad still tell me how much C-Rations sucked.

**** on a shingle is the best **** i ever tasted...my grandpap gave us that recipe from waaaaaay back in the day from when he was in WWII...yup its my favorite!

Posted by: Danielle at May 26, 2003 11:23 AM

When I was in the Marine Corps,-SOS was creamed ground beef (hamburger). Creamed dried or chipped beef was called "Creamed Foreskins"

Posted by: Wallace Pfeifer at July 2, 2003 01:48 PM

I found "you people" while searching on **** on a Shingle and since I just wrote down a bit of my memories of Navy life back in the 1950s that concernced the subject, I thought some of you might appreciate it. If it's too long to post, feel free to delete

Housman, PNC (ret.) Thirty years Naval service

I know that this is just trivia Navy memory stuff, but for some reason this afternoon I remembered the good ole Navy chow hall back at Naval Air Station Oakland, CA, in the mid 1950s.

It didn't take me long to get used to the routine of eating in the chow hall. You stood patiently in the long chow line and eventually you'd get to the steam tables where the mess cooks would ladle out the food for the day onto your metal tray with the dividers in it. However, it also didn't take me very long to realize that the mess cooks were ladling WAY too big of helpings on my tray! I started to gain weight because my mother always told me to eat everything on my plate!

I assessed the situation and decided I'd have to put my foot down with the mess cooks. I first tried to tell them that I didn't want that large of a serving, but it didn't compute with them. All of the rest of the sailors would have felt short-changed at any smaller servings. Nonetheless, I finally described in detail that I wanted only a teeny tiny serving and I showed them with my hands just what a teeny tiny serving should look like. They eventually got the message.

In addition I had to train them at breakfast that when I wanted pancakes and eggs over easy, what I really wanted was ONE pancake and in addition the ONE egg was to be served on top of the pancake on the plate. Let me tell you, it took a long time to train those mess cooks about my one pancake and one egg, but the effort was worth it. Ain't nothin' tastes better than an over-easy egg perched on top of a hot pancake for breakfast!

But I must admit it took me some time to figure out the real definition of SOS (S__t on a Shingle). In my mind it was creamed chipped beef on toast. Now I've ALWAYS hated creamed chipped beef even when my mother served it over boiled potatoes. But later on I figured that it was a hamburger mixture in a bit of gravy served on toast. Now THAT I didn't mind as much for breakfast. In fact after awhile I didn't even mind baked beans for breakfast!

The best part of breakfast at the chow hall was that no matter what the mess cooks put on your tray there was always the milk dispsenser that served up the coldest glass of milk in the world! Wow! What a way to start the day!

Posted by: Navy Chief Housman at July 15, 2003 08:26 PM

I have eaten alot of SOS in my time. I'm 53 now. Ate it for two years while a soldier in 1970 and '71. ......Still eat it quite often today. But, where I have the jump on most people as to learning about and enjoying this most military of dishes, is the fact that I have been eating the army version since I can remember. My father was an army Tech. Sgt. cook, in World War 2. Then a butcher and resturant cook for many years after. Even when he made breakfast at home, it seemed he had difficulity makeing just enough for the family. So, our dogs always enjoyed this dish also.... And, I might add, still do to this day. Dad is long gone now...... but his recipe for SOS lives on.....and, by the way, my son makes a pretty mean dish of it too.

Posted by: Mongo Joe at August 2, 2003 06:16 AM

I remember SOS from the O club breakfast line when my Dad was stationed on Okinawa (USMC-Camp Hansen), we'd beg to go for breakfast and eat plate after plate of the stuff. I think it was the hamburger version, I've made both the burger and the chipped dried beef versions well, still can't get it quite right, but the burger version is closer. Chief Housman is right on the milk, I don't like milk, but I'd drink a few glasses with breakfast there.

Anyone ever go to the O club in KMCAS in Hawaii for the Mongolian Barbecue or have it at genghis khan's on Oki?

MyDad served with Geo. Patton in France during WWII. While he was there, two foods predominated: SOS and Beans. He told me that, while he was training stateside before deployment, the cooks would boil some sort of meat that was reputed to be goat. No one ever ate a bite of it. They would apparently shell a whole herd of goats, gather the carcasses, boil 'em up, serve 'em to the men, and then throw out the lot. This process would repeat at each mealtime.

I was in the Air Force during Vietnam. I ate lots of what they called "SOS" as well. It was creamed chipped beef on toast. I loved it. Only once since leaving the military--at a roadside inn called Rancho Bakersfield in Bakersfield, CA--have I tasted SOS. And it was as good as I'd remembered.

By the way, my dad said that in his day S0S was alternatively called COC: Crap on a Crust (or Cracker, depending on to whom you listened).

You have a reciepe for foreskins on toast. SOS is made from ground beef and has a light tomato base. Navy

Posted by: Ron at December 25, 2004 01:56 PM

Well there are versions of it. Dried or corned beef is what I should have used.

Posted by: Jake of 8bitjoystick.com at December 25, 2004 09:58 PM

I was in S. Korea at Camp Essayons. It was FA back then. For the first two weeks of each month the food was good. Then the cooks started selling all of the fresh meat and cheese to buy booze and whores. SOS was about the only thing you could be sure of for the rest of the month.

Posted by: Randy at October 20, 2005 12:30 PM

My husband (ret. Navy) and I (Air Force Brat), love eating S.O.S. It's very common to find on the breakfast table on a Sunday morning here.

I have fond memories as a child begging my mother to take me to the cafeteria on base for some, as she would not make it herself (she doesn't like it but my father did), my father would eat in the mess hall before reporting for duty each morning just so he could have some.

We (my husband and I) prefer the hamburger version of the recipe compared to the chipped beef. Chipped beef is okay, but as we look at it, there is more sustinance with the hamburg. And YES..... DEFINATELY cold milk and hot coffee to accompany the meal!

Posted by: Leslie at October 23, 2005 11:49 AM

I always loved the stuff. I am a little confused about the ingrediants. Is 1 T of butter a tablespoon or tube. I am thinking tube or stick since you call for a cup of flour. That also seems like an awful lot of flour for just a couple or so cups of liquid ingrediants. Also, does anyone remember diced onions being in there also?

Posted by: Bill at October 25, 2005 09:57 PM

I served on the USS Josephus Daniels DLG 27 back in the late 60's. We had the best SOS ( Hamburger/ Tomato base ) in the Fleet. Sure wish I had the Recipe.

Posted by: Casey at November 13, 2005 07:46 PM

I liked the hamburger version best. The thing about having SOS was that when they served it for Breakfast you could plan on having chili con carne for lunch and it would be served over spaghetti for dinner. All three were good.

That was not my intent. I was referring to forum longevity. I admire those that have retained their memberships through all the past debates. They are to be commended, IMO. :D

A few days ago, I did a google search for "Martinsville reversion" and got a link to the Regional South East section of this forum and a page by "ChiptBeef" that had real good information about the issue. Because of that I decided to join and try to contribute. After reading this page (thread), I think "ChiptBeef" is getting a bum deal from some other members. Everyone has their own way of doing things. We shouldn't be made out as criminals because of it, unless we do something criminal. I don't see where "ChiptBeef" has done anything criminal.

Thank you for your observations and opinions. I'm glad that you decided to join the forum. I pray what you obsereved was a mere fluke and that better days are ahead. I think we can all work together and get along just fine.

Why is that? I think senior members should be admired for their longevity. Don't you? No offense intended. Just curious for a more detailed explanation, if you are willing to provide it. If not, no problem. :yh_hugs

Don't. We all know that Cupid is timeless. I'm honored. "Jake" called me timeless too. :sneaky:

ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

This thread was started in my defense. It's both fair and reasonable that I would continue to respond to posts made in the thread. Just as I would have the privilege of replying to any other post in any other thread, whether it was in my defense or not. Right? :)

How does someone let a "thread die"? Why is that so important? I've seen threads here with thousands of posts. Why is "ChiptBeef" being singled out? :yh_beatup

So, what....are you here to whine in protest about the unfairness of it all when he's not around?
