At Keesler AFB the SOS was hamburger in flour sauce. Really bad flour

SOS is made with chipped dried been. Not burger.

The one time I ate "authentic" SOS, I puked.

What the hell is "authentic" SOS?

The possibility makes me want to puke now.

Oh - thanks a lot - I just hocked up half a lung laughing.

Kind of makes you believe that Wonder Boy has no freakin' idea what
SOS stands for.

No taste for the good stuff in life I guess. Probably you also do not eat
bisquits and gravy.

um...authentic?

SOS?

I made Bisquick bisquits this morning. did not look or taste fatty. Cooked

My oatmeal (Quaker old fashioned) has some butter and milk mixed in
toward the end of its cooking, then some brown sugar sprinkled on top.
Then a milk moat around the castle.

None of that in my wife's pork sausage gravy. *Gravy's white, except
for the chunks of sausage. *Not to say there's no fat in it.
There's different ways of making it.

Well, when I was hitchin' around our great land I had Biscuits and
Gravy at the truck stops... Served properly over a good 1/2' thick
slice of onion and a pepper shaker on the side... My other greazy
favorite is Fried Green 'Maters, ummmmm

I became addicted to Bug Juice.

Bug juice, powdered eggs, fried bologna, and mystery meat were among
the food items introduced to me by the Navy.
The bug juice tasted a bit different than the others.
I left them behind when I left the Navy behind.
The only thing the Navy addicted me to was a good shoe shine.
Still need my Kiwi, an old tooth brush, and a soft cotton cloth.
Don't do the spit shine though.
When bug juice showed up in the milk dispensers at breakfast, that
meant one thing to me. No more milk until replenishment.
And that meant my favorite meal, from the good kitchens of Kellogg's
and Elsie the cow, would disappear for a while.
Even a bowl full of frantically swimming weevils once didn't kill my
appetite for Kellogg's.
Three-four days out was as long as the milk lasted.
I don't recall Navy powdered milk for some reason. Might be because
time is merciful. Maybe the Navy was. Same effect.
I do recall my ma making that crap when money was tight.
All us kids hated it, so she gave up.

--Vic

I used to like the powdered eggs. Pour enough ketchup on them and they
were not bad.
Ditto on the milk. A little 315' DE didn't store a lot of milk.
Like you said, 3 or 4 days out and it was gone.

We had an old Coke machine though. Not the kind that dispenses cans or
bottles however.
It mixed syrup with carbonated water into a cup. 5 cents per cup until
it also ran out.
That usually happened right after an underway replenishment or refueling
when the Captain would order the corpsman to issue all involved a shot of
bourbon to warm up. To make it last many would pour it into a cup of the
syrup Coke mix.

"Swiss Steak" about every other day. I never really knew why it was
called Swiss steak.
More like cooked grizzle.

My mother tried the powdered milk thing also. There was a
rebellion among us kids. Then she tried mixing it 50/50 with whole milk.
Still didn't hack it. We finally made my father drink a big glass of
the crap.
Never had powdered milk again.

Eisboch
I don't recall my mother ever serving powdered milk. We did try powdered
eggs...once.

I can remember our mother trying it as an economy measure. In the mid
fifties, the newly opened St. Lawrence Seaway really cut into dads working
hours as a longshoreman in Halifax. Thank God the thing froze over in the
winter.
I believe the powered milk came in a blue box and we all hated it...didn't
taste right and there always seemed to be lumps in it.
No one around here had a blender in those days.

The dummy has "my dad" stories, too! Unlike WAFA's, they might actually
be true.

I like biscuits, but I don't like the greasy gravy that makes up the
biscuits and gravy dish.

Biscuits have a lot of shortening in them.
Those Browns Chicken biscuits turn into lumps of lard when they cool
off. But they're mighty tasty when warm!
You might switch to muffins if you're concened about too much grease.

--Vic

I don't eat biscuits very often, but when I do, I like them. It's the
floating liquid fat in biscuit gravy I don't like.

Who'd want gravy on a biscuit?
A tad of butter.... and maybe a dab of strawberry jam is all that's
required.

That is real SOS. But you got all kinds of SOS in the service. Dried beef
not dried beans / beens.

Good of you to point that out. Did you know typo flames are lame?
