Yes; and it ‘stretches’, with the milk, butter, toast, &c :-)
Thanks
Never had it that way, but maters are good.
I’ll try to post the one with tomatoes when I can.
I’ve been searching for a good “Chicken Enchilada” recipe. Hope someone can help.
Food quality has considerable importance not just in submarines but also in Naval and Merchant Marine vessels. My father, a Kings Point graduate and an officer in the USN and in the Merchant Marine, several times resolved crew morale and conduct issues by diplomatically getting the cook and kitchen crew to change how they prepared and served meals.
I saw stories like that, in my reading.
Napoleon wasn’t wrong - doesn’t matter if you’re marching or sailing.
This was a family favorite growing up. My dad (Army Air Corps) called it S-O-S a few times but out of respect for my mom politely called it “dried beef gravy.”
I can’t have it very often now because of the salt.
I have a little cookbook with Navy recipes in it. I made a few of them when I was a young mom, and they were very good.
The great thing about SOS is once you learn to make the cream sauce you have many options of ingredients to switch it up. Just check the salt and seasoning levels.
Try diced up hard boiled eggs, either by themselves or with meat. Chopped up crispy bacon would be good.
My mom used canned tuna and served with canned green beans.
Use chicken and add a few vegs and it could be like pot pie or chicken ala king depending on which vegs are used.
Use leftover ham and frozen peas. Good over toast or pasta. ( I hate peas but can tolerate a small amount of frozen.)
Use hard salami. I actually use this instead of the jarred beef for cheese balls and dips. I cut into small pieces then put in my small food chopper. I make a version with dill pickles instead of messing with wrapping pickles in ham and cream cheese.
The best time to buy the jar beef is around November when they usually have a display, coupons and recipe cards.
I believe mylife served on a sub! So I’m sending him an SOS.
Chow on the boat is good.
Breakfast was great, order what you want, the way you like it.
Yes you get steak and lobster, and beef wellington, fried rabbit..
Don’t think I ever saw SOS on a boat.
Breakfast lunch and dinner were great, midrats sucked, but the bread was always freshly baked.
Something my old Command Master Chief makes on a regular basis.

This little film gives a very good idea of what things are like on subs - it’s from 1986, but I doubt the human stuff, teamwork, have changed much. Tom Clancy looks very young here - it’s said that he was very impressed with the food he enjoyed on submarines.
Some interesting points are made by the British historian who says that the caliber of men and morale are far more important than machinery; and that, with the advent of the German U-Boat, many people thought that submarine warfare was immoral and underhanded. It’s about an hour long:

I just watched an excellent Hollywood movie called “Enemy Below” starring Robert Mitchum and Curt Jergens and learned “Das Boot” was a total ripoff! I don’t remember any food being served in the movie but I do recommend it. Mr. Jergens steals the movie as the captain of a German sub.
