"creamed" and "beef" don't seem to go together...i mean, come on, it's not spinach or corn!

Quote :
"Chipped beef on toast (or creamed chipped beef on toast) is a foodstuff comprising a creamy roux sauce and rehydrated slivers of dried beef, served on toasted bread. Hormel recommends flavoring the dish with Worcestershire sauce and dried parsley. In military slang it is commonly referred to by the dysphemism "Shit On a Shingle" (SOS) - or more politely, "Stew On a Shingle". Chipped beef is also often served on English muffins, biscuits, homefries, and in casseroles.

Wentworth and Flexner cite no origin, but note that "shingle" for slice of toast has had "some use since c1935" in the U. S. Army, mostly in the expression "shit on a shingle," and that the latter had "wide World War II Army use."[2]

In the United States, chipped beef on toast was emblematic of the military experience, much as yellow pea soup is in Finland or Sweden. "Chipped beef on toast (S. O. S.)" is, in fact, the title of a book of military humor.[3] In his World War II book Band of Brothers Stephen E. Ambrose evokes the military basics:

“ At the end of May, the men of Easy packed up their barracks bags and … [took] a stop-and-go train ride to Sturgis, Kentucky. At the depot Red Cross girls had coffee and doughnuts for them, the last bit of comfort they would know for a month. They marched out to the countryside and pitched up tents, dug straggle trenches for latrines, and ate the Army's favorite meal for troops in the field, creamed chipped beef on toast, universally known as SOS, or Shit on a Shingle.[4] ”

In a 2004 story, Chuck Palahniuk talks about deprecated language in "the new and politically corrected Navy" where he says that in official theory, but not in practice,

“ the dark-blue coveralls crewmen wear while on patrol are no longer called "poopie suits." Crewmen who serve on the mess deck are no longer "mess cranks." Sauerbraten is not "donkey dick." Ravioli isn't "pillows of death." Creamed chipped beef on toast isn't "shit on a shingle."[5]

My Dad always called it SOS, and I picked it up from him from like 6 years old on. I was maybe 18 before I figured out what SOS stood for.

I awalys got it in those mom-n-pop country restaurants, so I don't think it's a yankee thing. It is awesome, wherever it's from.

If it's prepared properly, it's not that bad--in a cafeteria sort of way.

Get you some sousemeat to go along with it. Yech...

I make damn good shit on a shingle. Not like there's a whole lot to it. My dad still makes the best. As a matter of fact it's my breakfast of choice for special occasions. Damn, it's good. I might have to make some this weekend.

Scrapple is delicious if you can look past the hairs and crap in it.

this is one of my family's favorite breakfast meals.

rather than using toast, we deep fry biscuits.

it's almost like a plain doughnut.

i will never eat souse or scrapple

i have never had SOS proper, but i was familiar with it.

my mom used to just take leftovers from beef stew night and throw it on toast and we'd call that SOS in our household. we knew it wasnt the real SOS but we just liked saying shit in my household

Based upon zxappeal's posting history, he probably eats it with actual shit.

Figure this: if I was 5 years older, I'd be old enough to have a grandchild on TWW. Hell, technically I'm old enough to now. But that would be figuring on me having a kid at 20...said kid would be 18 now.
