Trigger Mike Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Desperate to think of what to have for supper my wife pulled out the stouffers SOS chipped beef and gravy. As she is cooking the eggs she asked "who wants eggs with their SOS?" my 10 year old said, "A what with my what what?" so we had to explain it.

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Ah, the favorite of every serviceman..SOS. After my initial serving, I could always go back and ask.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "Grocery Outlet" store had some a while back at a buck a piece for the two serving size. Still have a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 I ate two helpings, my younger 12 year old son ate 1 helping and my oldest 16 year old son had 1 egg and my 10 year old daughter had pizza rolls. My wife had a granola bar. i live with heathens who don't appreciate good food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 The Stoffers SOS is pretty good. Slightly different than home cooked but I can't place my finger on the difference. I have a couple of boxes in the deep freezer. I may get one or two out in the morning for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add two Jimmy Dean's sausage links cooked before hand and cutup fine (and the grease) and a touch of Tabasco and some salt and pepper and pour it over toast. A glass of ice cold 50% /50% OJ and apple juice and a couple of cups of coffee and you're set for the entire day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the mess decks on the USS Virginia. We had a main reefer down so canned roast beef was on the menu every day. Sometimes 3 times a day in one form or another. They did a pretty good job on the SOS. It was pretty good. I can’t say that about the other meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 When I went through the chow line, in the Navy, I avoided picking up the S.O.S. dish. The presentation, or visual, of food, is a big part of the eating experience, for me. I always hesitated to eat things that looked like hell, or looked like it had already been chewed, and spit back out on the plate. Now my folks were of the "greatest generation", grew up in the Great Depression, and had little choice, many times, on what they had to eat. In fact, I think they were well into their teenage years before they realized gravy was not a beverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Some of the most elegant, “eye candy” dishes that I have had served to me were the most inedible food I’ve ever encountered. I decide what I will eat after tasting it. If you have to “develop a taste” for something, it probably isn’t really all that palatable in the first place!!
