Probably more commonly called a "Hot Beef Combo". I don't know where commercial came from but she insists that is the real name.

I can't stand the stuff so I never order it.

Not once have I heard of it called Hot Beef Combo, or Hot Beef Commercial.

What I have heard commonly called SOS, is also known as Dry Beef Milk Gravy.
Which, as it's name suggests, is exactly that, served over slices of bread.


Wait... You guys are criticising toad in the hole (which is just sausages in batter) and you eat this monstrosity







I'm not terribly certain that is any one thing. It seems to be a mix of dried beef (chipped beef) milk gravy and the sausage gravy used for sausage and biscuits.
I can't tell if that's sausage or dried beef. The gravy is certainly wrong for SoS though.
And sausage gravy should NEVER be used on bread/toast. It is solely reserved for biscuits!
And the better to raise a finger at the Brits for their slanderous use of the word biscuit. Let them get all confused if they ever try and make it.

And I'll just leave this right here...



So, assuming you ate nothing else that's 900 calories, 48 grams of fat (74% of the recommended daily allowance-in one meal), 150mg cholesterol and 1,780mg of sodium.

170g and 24g of fat. That means it's 86% fat free!

Spotted Dicks not too bad with custard, never had the tinned one though.


This however insults several continents cooking.


Definitely not my cup of tea, and even the stuff fresh from their restaurants is too sweet. Also happens to share pronunciation (and spelling depending on who you ask) of the greatest all purpose food ever made.

Don't bother trying to make it with those fake ass Anaheim peppers Californians are going on about. Has to at least be Hatch, but Chimayo are even better.

There is nothing "fake ass" about Anaheim chiles.
The seeds were originally brought to Anaheim from New Mexico by Emilio Ortega.

That was a bit harsh, I suppose, but it is a food snob thread. IMO, the peppers need the proper climate and soil/drought stress to really taste authentic. While Anaheim proper fits the bill, large scale production of them is mainly done in the more fertile and wetter valleys.
The Chimayo cultivar has been grown in the Chimayo region for over 300 years and have a distinct taste compared to Anaheims, especially when roasted. You can buy the powder, but when I lived in Nambe, I liked to drive up there and get them fresh and roast them myself.

That sound terrific.

What's your preferred roasting method?

When I lived out there I worked at a little grocery store and we had a barrel roaster similar to this:

Which I would use to roast the chiles I got from a friend near Chimayo (right up the road from Nambe). Easily the thing I miss most about living in New Mexico.

In the 90's when I worked at MCD's, we didn't sell very many mcribs when they had them, basically just sat in a vat of bbq sauce all day in some sort of crock pot. Either they didn't catch on back then or it was just in my area.
I never liked them, I only get a Mcdouble and fries when I do go there.

We've tried several methods. A burnz-o-matic works okay.


The solar satellite dish roasted too slow.


The fresnel lens was too hot burning the skin w/o cooking the interior.



The propane forge works great and is what we use most of the time.

I wonder what the R value and fire retardant level is on that thing. It looks like it could make good insulation. Maybe you can buy them straight from the factory in 4*8 sheets.

No you don't. I am smaller than the average mcrib eater.

Just making sure you realize how you are basically agreeing with him, even using the synonymous word small, albeit in different context.

We could infer tone from the statements to realize you disagree, but I think it is more fun to go the other way. It is similar to the posts that proclaim "your an idiot", which is common and funny.

I'm a slim guy myself, and if you are going to make fun of fatties, use the language right, because chances are there will be someone that weighs more than you but is also smarter than you. Just like you might be better looking than me and yet I am correcting you for a minor typo.
