I'm wondering if they still serve S.O.S. in the modern army mess halls. That's creamed chipped beef on toast. Guys complained about G.I. food, but I loved that stuff.

Must confess have loved S.O.S my whole life, in the Army and afterward. Stoeffer's Frozen Foods makes a reasonable facsimile. I prefer it on sour dough toast.

That's why it was known as Fort Swill, Oklahoma

I liked it too. The first time I ate lamb chops they were fixed so good I thought I was eating pork tenderloin. The Air Force served lamb chops a lot while in the States and I loved them. A lot of the guys said they didn't like them but I think it was just the thought of them. I still like good lamb chops. I ate a whole lot worse in Korea and Vietnam.

I hated the stuff.

Wow.... I just flashed back to when I first ate it. It was okay at first then I had cold sweats and tunnel vision running for the john.

Loved the stuff and learned early on not to insult the Mess Sergeant by calling it gravy. I still make my version at home every once in a while at my wife's request would you believe!

I always enjoyed eating it. My wife never had it before she meet me, I make it for her and she loved it.

I liked the stuff. It was definitely better
than some of the "delicacies". Especially in
Nam. Never knew the make or model over there.
But, I survived. :-) BC

Filled you up and stuck to the ribs. I liked it.

[LostLure]

They still serve it, but the biscuits that they put it over could also be used as a hockey puck.

I make this quite often. Great meal in my book

I was house-sitting a couple of weeks ago with a former staff-sergeant just out of the Army, and one day I was looking for something to cook for lunch and I asked him if he ever had SOS. He said he had no idea what SOS was, so I cooked him a plate and he took one bite and said that it was amazing. So my guess is it is no longer fed to the troops, but it is still an amazing meal.

At Fort Dicks N.J. It was call S**t on a Shingle We had it every day at mess after PT.Yuk!!

[ozarkghost]

Treestand, SOS= S**t on a Shingle or Same Old S**t. SOS is just a way of saying that and won't get you wamped by your mama or wife if you say it in public.
