If you’re strange then I am too, especially if there was a little Tabasco to splash on the pile. SOS always made a good start to my day. Way better than those green eggs and ham.

J-BAR #18287 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Looks like sausage rather than chipped beef. Not complaining. I would eat either one. Just curious. (and jealous. we are doing the intermittent fasting thing; no breakfast.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.D. Daily Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 If it is made with spicy sausage & ladled on biscuits I'll eat it. Mom made it with salty chipped beef & like creamed peas or peas & carrots I never ate it after I married in 1967. I think I tried it once in Basic Training & it was too bland to bother in the future. The lack of taste is not enough to overcome the picture in my mind of the contents of an infant's soiled diaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
