recipe and history of SOS

[venture]

Wow?

An old post revived?

As stated before, Mom always made it with dried/chipped beef.  A light colored gravy.

Military version for me was ground mystery meat (cleaned up version for civilians) in something greasy?

Fortunately, on a garrison post.

Officer at 10:00 AM civilian time would ask where is so and so?

We just said he had breakfast in the mess hall.

A quick check in the latrine would usually get the troop out of trouble.  We would never make up a cover story for a buddy.  Right?

Maybe the FNG actually took his malaria pill too?

Must admit I still like a Spam sandwich once in a while.  But that goes in another thread?

Richoso, its all good my friend.  R.I.P.

Good luck and good smoking.

Hello.  I just have to post on this old thread being and former Marine.  I still make and enjoy SOS ( and a spam sandwich ) now and then.  I introduced my English wife to it many years ago.  That first time when she asked what I was cooking and my reply was "S*** on a Shingle" she was MORE than dubious.  She LOVES it!  I apparently didn't make it often enough so she finally made me show her how to make it.  I often leave for work at 04:00 and she will make her own SOS for breakfast.  My version is almost exactly the same as the OP version.  Semper Fi!  Keep Smokin!
