I have not seen chipped beef in stores in decades. I still have one of the little glasses it used to be packaged in. I do agree with Charlie Harley about the peppery gravy.
You're not kidding. BabyGirl was sitting in the kitchen while I cooked & was complaining about having to learn fractions. "When am I EVER gonna have to know fractions?" I told her to pull a cookbook - any cookbook - off the shelf and find a recipe. She does. I ask: how many does it feed? She says 6. I said you have 15 people coming for dinner. She says "Oh."
Never heard this. All my life, I've never bought a dark-colored jar - old "wisdom" said if it was dark, they were adding molasses or dark corn syrup to it. Thanks, Tommy - now I don't know how to buy it!
