chipped beef
Salted, dried meat
Chipped beef is thin-dried, salted beef sliced into small pieces or shavings.
It appears most famously in creamed chipped beef—the dish served on toast that American military personnel dubbed "shit on a shingle" (S.O.S.).
The beef keeps well without refrigeration, which made it a staple of institutional cooking.
Creamed chipped beef for breakfast again.
