DSE 5 #7 March 16, 2008 hey, if you haven't tried it... Sh** on a shingle is my comfort food, but I also like it with hard-boiled eggs, remove the yolk, then cut up the egg white part. Try it. Then tell me how much you like or dislike it. Then again, I like ketchup/catsup on my scrambled eggs, too.... And I was never in the Army. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZagMarquis 9 #8 March 16, 2008 There are a TON of recepies for SOS. Here's one I found after a quick search on the web. If one uses that jared dried beef you find in the grocery store, it tends to be really salty. If you want to get some of the salt taste out, rinse it really realy well before use. Dad always used that stuff called "frizzed dried beef" not that jared stuff. ------------------------- INGREDIENTS 3 tablespoons butter 1 (8 ounce) jar dried chipped beef 2 teaspoons light brown sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup whole milk 4 slices toasted white bread DIRECTIONS In a skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Drop beef into hot butter; saute for 5 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over beef, stirring constantly. Sprinkle on flour, stirring constantly. When flour is completely mixed in, gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Keep stirring the sauce until it thickens. Lightly butter toasted bread. Spoon beef over slices of bread and serve.

lawrocket 3 #10 March 16, 2008 I love it! I remember it being the only thing that was still somewhat warm in those Army mermite cans. You'd get a breakfast in the field and smother it all with SOS to warm it all up and it was just the best. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stitch 0 #11 March 17, 2008 Technically, that isn't SOS. SOS is Sausage/Ground Beef gravy on toast. I prefer chipped beef though. It's called SOS, because it looks like BARF on bread. I wouldn't touch it in the Army. "No cookies for you"- GFD "I don't think I like the sound of that" ~ MB65 Don't be a "Racer Hater" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usedtajump 1 #15 March 17, 2008 SOS, the biggest reason to get out of bed in the morning while in the Air Force. Have had none anywhere close to that perfection since then. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breakfast must have sucked in the Air Force. When I was in the Army, a typical (garrison) breakfast consisted of: Eggs, choice of fried to order, scrambled or omelette to order (with any combination of several filler items, such as ham, cheese, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, etc.) choice of hash browns or home fries choice of oatmeal or grits choice of sausage, bacon, ham or biscuits and sausage gravy choice of french toast or pancakes pastries fresh fruit (whole and cut) cold cereal milk (2%, whole or chocolate) Orange juice Coffee toast and english muffins Lunch was just as good, with steak and shrimp every Friday. Dinner was usually lunch leftovers. Dinner and lunch both had short order lines, also, for burgers, hot dogs and fries. We ate damn well when we weren't in the field. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usedtajump 1 #18 March 17, 2008 Breakfast was just one of a vast multitude of things that really, really sucked about the Air Force, however, the mess hall SOS was the lone bright spot in an otherwise dark, dull, worthless four year period of my life. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
