In my youth, I made a version of that hobo dish: Ramen thickened that way with corn chips.

It was good.

I say again:

EEEEWWWWWWWW!!!

But here in Mexico, I have seen people put ketchup on pizza. Frequently. Sowaddayagonnado?

They would fill their cups with hot water for the tea, make a soup with ketchup, and thicken it with saltines. Never have tried it.

i think you should leave the recipes to Megan McArdle.

It was a major food group aboard ship.

I recall only 1 chow hall that served us powdered eggs and I agree, they were gross – mildly gross in the beginning and worse over time. After that, real scrambled eggs were a pleasure.

He kept some of his paperwork, and I have looked through hold diagrams. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around 50 tons of ketchup. I have seen the WWII USN Cookbook. The recipes are for 100 servings. The one for scrambled eggs stays with me. You start with 4 gallons of scrambled eggs. The Navy recommends that you cook them in bacon grease. The Navy admits that the scrambled eggs are very exciting, so they recommend that you add either 32 pounds of cooked, crumbles sausage, or 32 pounds of cook, crumbles bacon, or 32 pounds of cubed ham. 8 pounds of shredded cheddar is also believed to be a good idea. That is not a recipe, that is pornography! The cocoa recipe sounds wonderful, but I am not sure what I would do with 8 gallons of cocoa.

I like it with a spicy mean sauce that I make. Which includes lots of tomato sauce. And yes, some grated Parmesan cheese. Because that just sets it off.
