Two proofs in one post

This recipe:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jamie-at-home/bubble-and-squeak-with-sausages-and-onion-gravy-recipe/index.html

proves two things:

Proof 1: Jamie Oliver hates humanity, as witnessed by the fact he inflicted this recipe on the rest of us

Proof 2: British people are born with no taste buds, and don't develop any later in life

1. Well, that was interesting.

2. It sounds delicious.

3. Bubble and Squeak is quite palatable after drinking a copious amount of ale

4. Fried dog turds would be palatable after drinking enough ale

While British food is as a rule hideous, bubble and squeak, which I have eaten in an RAF mess, is especially noteworthy for its disgustingness.

5. Bubble and squeak, which I have eaten in an RAF mess....

Well, that says it all.

6. Brit's answer to U.S. mess hall SOS.

AKA: Creamed chipped beef on toast.

7. I never saw any chipped beef in SOS

I believe that was back in the Brown Boot days. Creamed ground beef in a bowl with a plate of biscuits was gourmet eating that really stuck to your ribs. That, and a mug of coffee would jump-start my day.

8. I do believe you are correct.

Now that I think about it, it WAS ground beef.
I still like it.

9. It was origionaly dried chipped beef in

whole milk gravy, served on toast.
Somewhere I have a cook book that I got from my Uncle. He was a cook in Pattons 3rd Army, and was wounded relieving Bastogn. Him and several other cooks and bakers were taken from their units and put into the line units for the relieve push.

The book has a WW2 recipie for dried chipped beef in cream gravy/on toast.

10. Most likly canned evaporated milk

Chipped beef and canned evaporated milk did not require refrigeration, something that was at a premium for an army on the move.
