Creamed Chipped Beef on toast... yay or nay?

[lulubelle]

Nay. Blech. With a capitol B.

 

[Big Cuddly Bear]

Mmmmmm.... not!

Wow, the stuff I eat looks way better than that.... did you look for the most unappealing photo on the net?

I also like it - but agree the picture above looks gross! My mom used to make it as a special lunch treat sometimes, so it's a comfort food for me. My family doesn't care for it so I haven't made it in years.

There's a way to make that stuff look good? I love it, but I'll admit it is not the most attractive thing I eat

Never tried it.. My thing is cream of mushroom soup over buttered toast.. Yum!

When our kids were little and not real fond of eggs, I'd fix crm of chicken soup or potato soup with chopped boiled eggs over toast. Sounds yucky, but really quite tasty.

My mom was a great cook and there are basically three foods that remind me of her because she made them frequently when I was growing up: deviled eggs, chicken pie, and creamed chipped beef on toast. Every time I eat any of those foods, it always reminds me of her and how much I miss her! Mmmm, now I'm hungry and want some chipped beef, LOL.

A big time YES for me!

My dad used to eat that when I was a kid...looked like it had been eaten already....NO THANKS!

I love it, but haven't had it for awhile. I use to eat at a place that served it for breakfast when I was traveling. I don't go there anymore and I miss it!

I grew up in the 60's and 70's and working class families sometimes had to fill in the gaps with cheap dinners at the end of the month. Mostly my mom would make SOS (sausage in white gravy), but sometimes to break it up she'd do the little disks of dried beef chopped up.


I also remember getting boil in bags. Just what it sounds like frozen bags of meat and sauce that you put in a pan of boiling water then you cut the corner off and poured it over bread. Chipped beef and turkey w/brown gravy were the favorites.

I loved boil in bags. Banquet made them. I loved the meatloaf and the turkey and gravy.

To the posters that said gravy should never be white, you must not have had chicken gravy. Its wonderful! There use to be a resturant that served skillet fried chicken with white gravy, I think my DH would pick that as his last meal if he could!

on either toast or baked potatoes

People actually eat this stuff intentionally? I always thought it was one of those Depression Era foods that people ate when they couldn't afford much else. My grandma used to make it occasionally and she always called it sh*t on a shingle. I'd say the name is pretty true to form.

Easy, Woman...don't be hating on the chipped beef. This stuff is da bomb and I can certainly afford other foods but could eat this every day. There's nothing ****ty about it

Dad ate this when I was a kid. He was turned on to it from the Army, where he learned the affectionate name for it of s#!t on a shingle. Looked gross to me at first but I tried it sometime in my teens and liked it.

Now I love it, even better with coarse ground black pepper on it.

 

[polkadotsuitcase]

WOW, what a blast from the past. Used to have this when we were kids -- yep, Dad was in the Armed Forces, too.

My mom made the best fried chicken and white gravy or as she called it bulldog gravy. I have tried so hard over the years to duplicate it, but I have failed miserably.
