Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

      My grandfather (served in WWII and Korea) LOVED this. He’d add soy sauce to the chipped beef, thus explaining his two heart attacks.

        He’d add soy sauce to the chipped beef,

        Because there wasn’t already enough salt in salted dried beef.

        I believe it was a wwii army thing and definitely creamed chipped beef. Beans on toast sounds very British so maybe different foods were called that.

          I guess the beans on toast was because my mom was Irish and heard of it through my dad and probably never used chipped beef, so did beans instead.
