LJ wouldn't let me post a photo with my comment, so here's a pic of creamed chipped beef. The photo says it all...

I could see the pic in your comments, and I can see it here. This bigger picture makes it look even worse.

Ah, my dad's favorite s**t on a shingle

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Yep, I remember that's what it was called. Our fathers tended to like those sort of things.

My dad liked pickled pigs feet. I used to have to leave the room when he noshed on them.

Remember the smell of the pig feet cooking in the kitchen. Taffy (our dog) would guard the stove with her life hoping for some

Oh no my mother wouldn't make them. My father worked in New York City and he'd get them from one of the deli's that made them. He'd bring them home in a jar.

My father was a fisherman but my mother refused to clean the fish, unless it was flounder. Dad for some reason didn't wan't to clean them all the time himself so he'd give the blue fish, snappers and sea bass to the neighbors instead. though I think they'd cook it and send a plate over for dad...hmmm he was pretty crafty I guess. lol.

That's what my dad called it too. :) He developed a taste for it in the army.

Now that rings a bell, SOS ...it was called that in the army.

Man, I should have made this a picfic prompt...Hmmm maybe I will. LOL! Start writing for the new picfic post in in 2 weeks!

[jkkitty.livejournal.com]

I think all people in the army had it, actually I would eat it with my dad. Not sure that I would now though

I loved SOS when I was growing up! Haven't had it in over 40 years, but I thought it was good.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

I don't remember having it but I'm sure we did, since SOS name is very familiar to me, and I think that's what it was called by my parents.

Maybe creamed corned beef was what we had.

The photo does sort of look gross though.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

It's yummy... on toast or a waffle.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Will take your word for it, the picture doesn't do it justice I suspect.

[bonniejean1953.livejournal.com]

It doesn't, and my grandmother always added sauteed mushrooms and onions so it had more flavor than just the cream sauce and dried beef. Heck even canned mushrooms and onion make it taste good. I do like it though.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

It does sound good with mushroom and onions but sadly I can't eat beef, mushrooms or creamed anything, because of my restricted diet.

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

That does sound good.

Every 2 or 5 years or so, I will make it. When it is made and presented well, it is a wonderful comfort food. Made poorly, it is a salty, salty horror. Presented like the picture, it is easy to see how it got its nickname.

Yeah, Janto put it well, 'that it looked like it already went through 2 people.' ick.
