Personally, I was a big fan of the “Stuff on a Shingle.”  Let’s get something straight here, though, it’s honestly called “Shit on a Shingle.”  It is basically chipped beef gravy served on toast.  Most of the time you only got it in a mess hall, and I usually got it with over easy eggs on the toast smothered in the gravy.  Tasty.

I think most people have a bad or low opinion of Military food service.  The food that I ate while I was active duty was excellent, unless it was provided by a contractor.  Most notably the food service contractor at the ISA in Saudi in 91.  Weight loss.  We would actually eat MRE’s instead of going to breakfast there.
