Toast Skagen

Toast Skagen is an elegant combination of prawns and other ingredients on a small piece of sautéed bread. When you really want to celebrate something, be extravagantly generous with the whitefish roe. The sprig of dill on the top serves as a fanfare.

Toast Of War 2

An elevated piece of bread

Named after a fishing port at the northern tip of Denmark, toast Skagen is typically served as a starter at Swedish dinner parties. It was created by the popular Swedish restaurateur Tore Wretman. More than anyone else, he embraced Swedish culinary traditions during the decades immediately after World War II. At a time when home cooking was starting to fade away and be replaced by foreign fast food, he also elevated classic Swedish dishes into fancy restaurant repertoire, lending them new status.

Ingredients

(4 servings)
4 slices of white bread
320 g (11 oz) peeled prawns (shrimps)
4 tbs mayonnaise
1 tbs Dijon mustard
150 g (5 oz) whitefish roe
50 g (2 oz) fresh dill
1 lemon
butter

Preparation

Cut off the crusts of the bread slices. Sauté the bread golden brown on both sides in a little butter. Place on paper towels. If the prawns are large, cut them into smaller pieces. Save four sprigs of dill for garnishes. Finely chop the rest of the dill and mix with the prawns, mayonnaise and mustard. Apportion the mixture on the slices of sautéd bread. Shape the whitefish roe like eggs and place on top of each toast. Garnish each with a sprig of dill and serve with a slice of lemon.

Chipped beef is a form of pressed, salted and dried beef that has been sliced into thin pieces. Some makers smoke the dried beef for more flavor. The modern product consists of small, thin, flexible leaves of partially dried beef, generally sold compressed together in jars or flat in plastic packets. The processed meat producer Hormel once described it as 'an air-dried product that is similar to bresaola, but not as tasty.'^[1]

Uses[edit]

Chipped beef could be used to make frizzled beef (creamed chipped beef or SOS in military slang), or with eggs.^[2]

Availability[edit]

Chipped beef is served in many diners and restaurants in the United States as a breakfast item. It is popular among the veteran community who generally refer to it as 'Shit On a Shingle'; chipped beef in milk gravy (or 'S.O.S.') is a common traditional meal which is served in all branches of the United States Armed Forces due to its reasonable nutritional profile, ease and speed of preparing, and relatively low cost to produce in large quantities (i.e. in quantities sufficient to properly feed an entire military outpost). Creamed chipped beef is standard fare on many such diner menus, especially in the Mid-Atlantic, but has become harder to find in chain restaurants that serve breakfast; among the restaurants still offering chipped beef on toast are Golden Corral and Silver Diner. IHOP no longer offers this on their menus, having substituted sausage gravy, and the same is true for Cracker Barrel restaurants. It is also available from companies such as Stouffer's in a frozen form which can be put on top of separately-prepared toast; it is typically quite salty. For instance, Stouffer's creamed chipped beef contains 590 mg sodium per 5.5 ounces (160 g) serving.^[3]

The mixture was also, at one point, available from both Freezer Queen and Banquet as 'hot sandwich toppers'; as of late 2007, Freezer Queen no longer makes this product, and the Banquet variety is rarely found. Finally, both the Esskay Meat Company of Baltimore and Knauss Foods make a refrigerated version of creamed chipped beef which can be easily microwaved. The meat itself is also available for purchase under the Knauss and Carson's Brand names. Steak-umm is used as a substitute.^[4]

Chipped beef on toast[edit]

Chipped beef on toast (or creamed chipped beef on toast) is a dish comprising a white sauce and rehydrated slivers of dried beef, served on toasted bread. Hormel recommends flavoring the dish with Worcestershire sauce.^[5] Chipped beef is also often served on bagels, English muffins, biscuits, home fries, rice, mashed potato and in casserole.

U.S. military cuisine[edit]

Toast Warwick Avenue

In the United States, chipped beef on toast was commonly served to service members of the United States Armed Forces. It was thus considered emblematic of the military experience, much as pea soup is in Finland or Sweden. In American military slang it is commonly referred to by the dysphemism 'Shit On a Shingle' (SOS),^[6] or 'Stew On a Shingle', 'Same Old Stuff', 'Something On a Shingle', or occasionally 'Save Our Stomachs'.^[7]

Wentworth and Flexner cite no origin for the term, but noted 'shingle' for slice of toast has had 'some use since 1935' in the U.S. Army, mostly in the expression 'shit on a shingle', and the latter had 'wide World War II Army use'.^[8]

Chipped beef on toast (S.O.S.) is the title of a book of military humor.^[9] In his World War II book Band of Brothers, Stephen E. Ambrose evokes the military basics:

Toast Of War Unblocked

At the end of May, the men of Easy packed up their barracks bags and … [took] a stop-and-go train ride to Sturgis, Kentucky. At the depot Red Cross girls had coffee and doughnuts for them, the last bit of comfort they would know for a month. They marched out to the countryside and pitched up tents, dug straddle trenches for latrines, and ate the Army's favorite meal for troops in the field, creamed chipped beef on toast, universally known as SOS, or Shit on a Shingle.^[10]
