Problem on the boat is its like a food truck in the galley, and stuff has to be anchored down, but they load out some good chow.
Their kitchens are generally as small - or smaller - than mine is in a small, two-bed apartment.
My husband loves creamed chipped beef, but I rarely think to buy dried beef. I’ll have to get some next time I’m shopping. I put a tiny bit of finely minced onion in mine, sometimes.
Did y’all close off that compartment the offender contaminated?
That looks very good! and doesn’t use the anise-flavored five-spice-powder. (I just don’t like anise flavor in my food.)
Yup that’s reality.
The last time I went to buy it, it seemed very expensive. But I like it better made with that, than buying the frozen ‘entree’.
All you got in the army is MRE’s maybe a 1 burner stove and what you can find.
Fire makes it better.
It’s been done, that and hooch.
But fresh Veg is what you really miss.
What a cool topic. Thanks. I have always wanted to try creamed chipped beef on toast. I worked with a woman who made the most delicious dip/spread with dried beef, cream cheese & green onions. So deli3.
Delicious
You could probably grow some sprouts - but you’d need at least a minimum of fresh water every day or so.
They filter it out.
You’d be amazed how bad the world stinks when you surface.
You smell like Diesel and Amine but the ocean smells like a garbage scowl.
Make it easy on yourself, and just provide the toast: https://www.stouffers.com/en/our-dishes/classics/for-one/creamed-chipped-beef
That’s a staple in my house; but still not as good as from scratch.
Submarine experience seems to be a uniquely, existentially *creepy* one. I guess extra efforts are made to compensate for that.
But I’m sure you had S.O.S. - and that’s pretty good, in my opinion :-)
I still make SOS and like mine better, but Army SOS varied ans was often good.
Some of the recipes I found in the old Sub cookbooks had tomatoes in them. I’ve never made it like that.
It is expensive, but not more than, say, a pound of hamburger, when not on sale.
