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

      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.
