Cat Brules 1,768 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 What is SOS? yuk yuk :-) My dad was a career Army officer. When we were little, He'd often whip the stuff up on Saturday morning (if he didn't go in), roll our asses out of bed for breakfast saying we were having SOS for breakfast, only he'd say what it was. We'd scramble in there and wolf it down and ask for seconds. We didn't know it as "SOS;" we never caught any flak for using its given name. :-) :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PF You're kidding us, right? "Only" 61??? We won't see 61 until next April, if we're lucky. There's a school of thought that the climate change we appear to be experiencing is not truly "global warming"; it's worsening of the extremes - colder Winters and warmer Summers, not warmer all year. Not quite sure how Man could have made that happen.... LL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PF My folks, may they rest In peace, were married for 67 years. The closest they ever got to a divorce was when my Dad got back from Europe after WWII. He warned my Mom, if she ever served him Spam, he would divorce her on the spot! I've never had Spam. Saw one of the episodes on the food contest, "Chopped" where one ingredient the chefs had to use was "canned ham". Sure looked like Spam to me, but without the label! I think the only time I ever had SOS was in AFROTC summer camp. Never during active duty, than heavens! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love to make SOS once in awhile. Army style with hamburger or Marine / Navy style with chipped beef. Add a dash of tabasco and some fresh ground black pepper and it's a meal all by itself.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,818 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) What is SOS? Boy, does your education have a gap that needs to be filled... soon!. THAT WAS MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST IN THE CHOW HALLS. Can't find it in civilian eateries, though. Stauffer's makes a passable frozen mix that works when I'm in a hurry. Over toast, biscuits, even English muffins. It stick to your ribs like the real McCoy. Edited December 20, 2016 by Forty Rod SASS 3935 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
