As a Marine aboard the USS Henrico on my way to Viet Nam, I had the pleasure of eating Navy Chow. This dish above all was my favorite. I haven't had this for over 44 years and now I've found it again. Now if my house could start rocking back and forth, I'll enjoy it more. Thank you for the memories. Read More

This is not bad but like Smokin'Chris I never ate this in the U.S. Navy. They used dried been and it was mixed in a white sauce (SOS). Someone complained about the navy food saying this was the only dish they could "choke down". Actually the food was very good and I never really saw anyone complain either. Read More

We called the stuff "s on a shingle" but we sure ate it. This recipe eats better than I recall the original did. The hungrier you are the better it tastes. Read More

This definitely brought back memories of my Navy days and breakfast aboard the ships on which I served! When I first saw the stuff on the serving line I thought it a bit strange to have for breakfast but I quickly came to like it. Minced beef on toast a couple eggs a big glass of OJ and a cup of good old Navy coffee made a great hearty breakfast. Yummy! Read More

When I was in the Navy early 60s I was a cook. Navy SOS always was a favorite. On the 2 different submarine tenders I was on we served it regularly. I don't know about the rest of the Navy but we always had great food. The chiefs running the general mess made sure the food quality was good and that the crew liked what they ate. Read More

if you don't have nutmeg you can use mace as an acceptable substitute. We use to use both spices when we made it just used 1/2 the amt for each one. if you don't have diced tomatoes use whole tomatoes and crush them before adding them to the mix if you do this cut back on the tomato juice since whole tomatoes will ad more juice and it will be waterery Read More
