Want the Army's "Official" recipe for SOS?

How about a trip down memory lane for veterans? Try Googling the Armed Forces Recipe Service (or Recipe Cards). You will eventually find a 1.8Mb pdf file, complete with section indexes that privide the details for nearly 1500 'Mess Hall Favorites.' Note: While these recipes are scaled for 100 portions and commercial facilities, a little math and common sense can convert your secret favorites to more reasonable batch sizes. They have SEVEN different formulas for holiday DRESSING (Stuffing if you insist). And who can resist an early morning plate of the famous SOS? (Sorry about not including the exact link; I've never figured out how to do it.) Semi-happy eating for large crowds. Get you calculator ready. If nothing else, it is a fun read.
