In preparation for the Army / Navy game in December, our local VFW is preparing meals based on the services. For example, a lady at the VFW found somewhere that the "Staple" food of the Army was S.O.S. She is thinking that "Staple" food of the Navy is Navy Bean Soup. Is this correct? Does anyone know the official foods of all 5 armed services?

3 different foods that I can recall eating no matter where I was stationed, TAD, or just visiting.
1. POWDERED Scrambled Eggs.... 2. Cornedbeef Hash with little HARD square dehydrated potatoes imbedded in it.... 3. Barbecued NORTHERN Beans(not Navy Beans) at least the 'Belly Robbers' called them Barbecued, they were actually more often than not just Northern beans that were drowned in a Tomato sauce of some kind.... This seemed to be the standard Sunday Morning meal in most Navy Mess Decks or Mess Halls. This topic brings back some good and bad memories about Navy Messdecks, and Cooks    |

I would consider Navy Bean spoup to be a beloved part of the Navy's history of cuisine. It is regularly served at the Navy Memorial in DC for special events.
although they have been known to serve SoS on occassiona s well. There can be no freedom without sacrifice |

There's also the powdered milk that was used after being underway a couple of days as well as the breakfast/lunch/dinner meat of questionable pedigree. Most important of all is COFFEE - black and strong enough to not only take you through an 8-hour midwatch but GQ most of the day afterwards. |

Whatever powdered bug juice (aka "Kool Aid") you have left over will be great for cleaning the dirt off the tile deck.

The "Staple Food" of the Navy is Beer and Coffee. Simple enough?

And here I though SOS was a Navy staple. Can't ever remember having Navy bean soup but we sure had some good saurbraten on the Davis. Thats not a Navy staple but just good food.
My nominee for the Navy staple is Horseco-k sandwiches. That was always the fallback in realy rough seas. USS Liberty, Never Forget. I believe in Murrays Law, he thought Murphy was an optimist. |

And as an aside item on mid-rats, both in Skimmers and Submarines... “Horseco-k", probably not a term used in the PC Navy of today Gerry…… |

Back in 72, I had a shipmate who acquired the nickname "Bug Juice". He drank the stuff, morning, noon, and night!

Yummy...
SOS Bug juice (with jp5 flavor) Tube steak Horseco*k sandwiches Sterilised milk Mystery meat Butter squares (frozen to -100f) Fried eggs rare (whites clear) (BTW: Some years ago on here, we had an in-depth discussion of the three kinds of SOS and which were served by which service. Very interesting.) |

Does anyone have a favorite home recipe (to serve 5 or 6 people not 100) for the Navy red type officially called minced beef? I like that better than the chipped, or white beef types.
I was on several carriers, and they had the red, and the chipped beef. Was on an Army base a while back, and they had the white beef kind. |

Not a staple per say but on the DD-890 is seems that whenever we hit rough weather the next meal was pork chops.
