SOS

One happy memory of food from long ago  (1969-73) was the SOS we had for breakfast in Air Force chow halls and just out of curiosity I looked up recipes specifically for the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines to see if they were any different.

The only differences were that the Army used Beef bullion, The Air Force used Chicken Bullion and the Marines didn't use any bullion. But the Navy had some major differences that I really didn't like so I didn't copy the Navy recipes but I did include links to them here. First they make it one way with tomato sauce and the other way they make it with sliced beef instead of ground beef. Here are the recipes I'm interested in with ground beef along with links to the Navy recipe's if anyone wants to try it Navy style with chipped beef or sliced beef or tomato sauce.

1 pound ground beef
2 cubes chicken bouillon, crumbled (or Beef)

2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

There are a ton of funny dishes ...Toad in a Hole ....(I'll eventually think of more)

The Brits love their canned beans, something I've never liked unless it was spiced up with BBQ sauce of better yet, homemade baked beans made from dried beans. but they like it the way it comes out of the can. Here's Roger Daltry of The Who in an advert for canned beans.
