SOS was for dinner when dad cooked; his breakfast dish was another one we loved: wonder bread with a hole in the center, fried up in bacon grease,
with an egg fried in the center hole. Don't know if this was an army recipe or an Iowa farm recipe. Don't know if it had a catchy name like SOS.  How is this related to Baja? Well, I'd put hot sauce on it now that I'm in Baja.

Thanks Ken.
I'd rather have a plate of the above recipe than a New York Steak....any day. For those of us down here that can't find canned chipped beef, ground
beef can be a substitute. It's all good. |
So can tuna, Grandma called it creamed tuna on toast.

well, Baja related only because we live in Baja: Les makes a (what i believe is) traditional British dish called BAKED BEANS ON TOAST. Interesting how
it seems slightly related to the SOS.

I have cooked SOS at the fire station many times in the past. Recipe was very close to the one Dennis posted, however, I added chopped hard boiled
eggs at the end. Also, liked it served over toasted English muffins. Might whip up a batch in the near future. Jim

I think Ken posted that, Jim, but if it's a good recipe, I'll take credit for it.
I tended bar in a place in Newport Beach [well...actually a few places] and we served SOS. That's what it said on the menu...SOS.
"Baer's Lair." Anyone remember that place? I only remember part of it, but like someone said about Haight Ashbury in the sixties, "If you remember
it, you weren't there."

Hmmmmm,
while you guys were splurging around with heavy cream and beef
we only had a thin soup from sugar beets and old bread - in between runs to the air raid shelters

i SO hated sos as a kid; would gag on it and make a scene...my dad, too, was a ww11 vet and loved the stuff....my folks would respond to my antics
over this slop by both promptly lighting a lucky strike and pall mall and waiting me out....nothing like the combo of sos and cigarette
smoke.....ahhhh, the 50s...

Ditto's on that one... Baked beans on toast... a real standby for others... but, don't forget the "bangers"...

Betty Grable eggs....
This dish was famously featured in the 1941 Betty Grable movie Moon Over Miami, earning it the name "moon-over-miami" eggs (although it was referred
to in the film as "gas house eggs").
It later made a notable appearance in the 1987 film Moonstruck, and several recipes for the dish have since been named "Moonstruck Eggs".
The dish also appeared in the 2006 V for Vendetta film as "eggy in the basket".
Musician Brian Wilson said in 1965: "I love "egg-in-the-hole". It’s about the only thing I can cook, but it is great. You pinch out the center of a
piece of bread, butter it, place it in a frying pan and put a raw egg in the hole. The entire thing cooks together and is very, very tasty." [1]
Musician Rob Crow composed the song "Eggy in a Bready II" in honor of the dish. The song was recorded by Crow's band Heavy Vegetable for their 1994
release The Amazing Undersea Adventures of Aqua Kitty and Friends. The lyrics of the song outline the ingredients and implements necessary for
preparing the dish.
Top Gear's Richard Hammond mentions Egg in the basket, without exactly knowing what it was, on BBC Radio 2's breakfast show on Bank Holiday Monday in
August 2007. His wife, Mindy, made the dish for him and Hammond was unsure whether it was a real dish or something just made up by his wife. He was
educated by listeners of the show about what it is. | Quote: | Originally posted by zforbes

Sorry Dennis, the recipe was in a post to you from tripledigitken. My mistake. Jim
