At least once a week we had SOS (use your imagination), aka chipped
dried beef on toast, for breakfast in the Navy. That was about up to 48
years ago, they probably don't serve it anymore. The other oddity was
fried bologna, baked beans, and hard boiled eggs for breakfast. Only ran
into that on one ship I was on. Luckily young men will eat about
anything so it went over pretty good.
