I have never heard of chipped beef. How would you normally eat it?

Typically chipped beef  (and Buddig is not typical for chipped beef, which is supposed to be cured to a much drier texture) is served in a cream sauce, over toast. In the US Army it's referred to as "shit on a shingle". Think GHaw's weens in gravy with the chipped beef playing the part of the weens. Then say HOLLYLOOYER that you don't have to eat that.

Smoothies are still an acceptable way to get things in right? You don’t lose the pulp like in juicing and can hide spinach in there? 

Sure, especially if you need the extra calories. Otherwise just eating the fruits and vegetables whole is still the better way to fill yourself up.

There is an episode of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, that featured a diner owned by an ex-military guy.  At least some meals were served on cafeteria trays and chipped beef on toast was a big favorite.  I read that this dish was served a lot in the military years ago.  I don't think that's the case these days, but I'm not sure.

I've seen this recipe amongst my Great Grandma's recipe cards. It's called Part Chicken or Company Chicken. 

*Party Chicken

 

And no Buddig is not typical for chipped beef. Chipped beef usually comes packaged in a jar.

That makes sense, actually, that it's a popular item. I have to say that it was one of my favorite foods when I was a kid. Probably because a)my mother hated cooking and she demonstrated that hatred at least twice a day and b)the butcher in our town was an immigrant from some Eastern European country that had been swallowed up by the USSR and he made his own cured beef, called suva govedina. It was one of the very few processed foods my mother ever bought, so I'm guessing she liked it even more than I did. I'd make it now if I could get my hands on that meat (Italian bresaola would be a good substitute).

I mean, with Bro Gary's weens on the table, this looks like a Michelin star meal. That said, I don't think I want to eat it.

It’s killing me that there's no vegetable on that plate.  The protein in the chicken is so overshadowed by the sodium and the carbs that my stomach feels weird just thinking about it.  A nice green salad or a heap of steamed broccoli would go a long way to making it even slightly appetizing.  Manager Of The Home indeed.

That casserole reminds me of those Instagram pages where they post the gross 80s midwestern food.  I did not even know chipped beef existed.  I was raised on an all natural gluten-free and dairy free diet over here on the West Coast so I find a lot of those casseroles really shocking. 

 

@NeckPunch  my mom had some sort of book by Teri from way back in the day and she told me that almost every day Teri would just do microwave bargain pizza for lunch. So not only was Teri denied meds for her depression but she was also limited to a crappy diet which certainly does not help gut health therefore does not do her mental health any favors.  I feel bad that the kidults had to grow up on and are still subjected to such a bland, unhealthy diet. 

 

I grew up in the midwest (Chicago suburbs) and I thank god my mom never made shit like this.

Just seeing this makes my stomach hurt and I think I'm going to go steam some asparagus for a snack.

also, yesterday I ate cheese paper which I saw as divine inspiration to go ahead and do the drop in and say hi which I had been thinking about for weeks.  That’s what I miss about FJ sometimes, no one understands why I laugh as hard as Terri at eating cheese paper.

 

No kidding! All those little things, huh? I thought of Steve the other week when someone said they had to go to the bathroom, and my response to that is typically "have fun". I even got a friend who was a recent immigrant saying that too, lol. And then I remember, oops, never say that to Steve. But if they were still doing conferences, I'd dare anyone going to have such a conversation while there. LOL. I hope that was very therapeutic.

Massive amounts of frozen processed food, that's what.  She talked about it in MOTH.

Chipped beef on toast was one of my grandfather's favorites.  My grandmother called it shit on a shingle and said it was a true labor of love when she made it for him because it grossed her out.  

 

My Vermont-born & bred dad liked a grossout meal called "salmon pea wiggle."  It was creamed canned salmon on top of saltines.  It smelled awful and none of us kids or Mom would touch it.

I used to cook it at the rest homes where I worked.  It came sliced thin in a small jar--I'd take out the meat and "freshen" it, or soak it in several changes of water.  Added to cream gravy and poured over mashed potatoes, it wasn't bad.

Looks like vomit to me but apparently enough people like for it to be sold like this.

For some this might be food porn, but looking closely it looks like regular porn to me.

Totally. I would prefer actual vomit to that ejaculation sauce...

I hope so! I buy a frozen smoothie mix that has mango, kiwi, spinach and kale already chopped and add fresh spinach and coconut water and blend it. The only vegetables my son eats (besides cucumber). Kids are crazy. 

Anyway it’s delicious and we have it 3 times a week at least!

It still shows up on the monthly menu for the chow hall here, so it is still served. I was active duty from '99-'03 and it was served then. But the modern military dining halls (at least for the air force) generally have options, unless you are deployed. We always had 2-3 entrees, 6-8 sides, plus a large salad bar, baked potato bar and a pasta bar for lunch, dinner and midnight chow. Breakfast had typical American breakfast items, plus made to order omelets (which I used to love) and cereal, yogurt, etc...I have a feeling there were not nearly as many choices in the old days. 

FWIW, both my grandfather loved SOS. And creamed tuna on toast, which is basically the same thing but with tuna instead of beef. I remember eating both dishes at my grandparents house as a kid and thinking they were fine but I don't think I could stomach either anymore.

The only cream of mushroom soup casserole I ever made was tuna - it also has Velveeta.  It's kind of a family history thing - my mom grew up eating it, I grew up eating it, and I made it for my kids.  My younger daughter makes it about once a year, for nostalgia's sake.  I did always add frozen green peas and water chestnuts so it had some color and texture.

The thought of serving chipped beef as a rehearsal dinner dish is just...I can't...normally I'm a huge proponent of do what you want at weddings but that is just beyond the beyonds.

We had our rehearsal dinner at a great Chinese restaurant and it was THE BOMB.

Tuna casserole with Cream of Mushroom soup, sour cream and mayo with peas,  shredded cheese, mushroom and onion. Does that sound good to ya’ll?  I want to make it soon.

Only if you put crushed potato chips on top!

 Veteran here, and SOS (despite the name...) is actually quite tasty. Not as tasty as the made to order omelets, but this West Coast girl who grew up on kale and tofu ate it and liked it. Should you eat it every day? Probably not. The Maxhell mixed meat concoction is a bit mystifying, but bacon and chicken go together nicely so I can’t quite rule it out.

But some vegetables, please. Please. I wonder how these families ever poop?!

My kids love a good broccoli, chicken, and egg noodle casserole. I usually make a bechamel sauce to pour over it with whole milk, butter, flour, parmesan and a pinch of nutmeg.

If I'm really in a pinch, I'll switch the bechamel for a can of cream of mushroom soup but I find it a little gross. Even my kids who will eat anything are pretty disappointed when they take their first bite, lol.

I know that I'm not the only military kid in FJ who has a secret love for chipped beef on toast (aka SOS--"shit on a shingle). I probably get to eat it once every 2-3 years now! But for the love of Rufus, why would you combine it with chicken? And  put sour cream on top?  And add salt? The chipped beef is crazy high sodium--its basically old-fashioned salt beef--designed to last forever on ocean voyages.

My grandfather (ex military) used to make a version of SOS using ground beef rather than chipped. He made the gravy from scratch and it would be super peppery and delicious.
