"I'm only too familiar with Salisbury steak, that staple of school cafeterias
and Army mess halls. So, that's what "hamburg(er) steak" is. FWIW, I've
heard that the legendary mess-hall dish, "S.O.S." or "shit on a shingle" was
creamed sliced beef over toast. In my day, it was hamburger - not in patty
form, but "loose," whatever the term for that is -  over toast and covered
with a sauce laughingly referred to as "cream." IMO, it wasn't nearly as bad
as I'd heard that it was. Also FWIW, the *only* foodstuff served at *every*
meal, three times a day, was potatoes.
