All true... aboard ship all versions were prepared but SOS with dried
chipped beef wasn't served all that often as it was the costliest meal
served... I often added quartered hard cooked eggs as a stretcher...
the crew liked it so much that they requested it without the chipped
beef, they thought I invented the dish, I never told them otherwise.
In 1960 eggs were cheap, dried chipped beef cost the navy $17/lb.
