@RedTop Welcome and WOW!😁 I do NOT think I could have eaten a meal that produced such "unwelcome" side effects, but completely understand that the soldiers had little choice when options were limited! NOW I understand the **** reference!😂 

THANK you SO much for caring to share such an interesting explanation with us!🤗

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I had that last item, the bowl of fruit, on cottage cheese for lunch today.

Not so much the bread stuff, and somewhere, sometime, we were served butter on crackers, ACK.  ONCE I say, that was it.

@mrshckynut Welcome!🥰 I was unfamiliar with the name SOS for a sandwich, as I only knew the name chipped beef sandwich for the one shown when I was growing up! Several posters have also referred to it as an SOS sandwich, so I learned something interesting today!😊

THANK you SO much for caring to share!💖

@SandySparkles   in the military it's called s*it on a shingle that is served as shown on a plate which is a breakfast feast.  🙄

I remember what my spent-4-years-in-the-Navy during the 50's Daddy called chipped beef on toast...but I can't say it here, lol!

I've eaten many of the things shown.

@vermint   I bet it was SOS.!   Wasn't my dads fav, as he said after WWII he was done with spam, and SOS.   So instead of adding chipped beef to the white gravy, she added tuna, mixed with peas and carrots. Because, you know if we went without veggies for one day, we all were going to die from scurvy.   And malnutrition

I never knew that cream chipped beef and spam was what they had during WW2 but it makes sense. Probably cheap. Even though my father ate both of those and and made the creamed chip beef for us,

he never talked about eating it in the army. So interesting to learn. And I never heard the sos reference either.

He did use to say:" one of those beans just got up and walked off the plate!"

And he had many funny army songs he sang all the time.

@shoekitty It was SOS! We never had it, because Daddy refused to eat it anymore after his time in the Navy. To this day, I've never even tasted it.
