This dish has many names and the most recognizable is the colorful "Shit on a Shingle" as immortalized by the U.S. Army.
Originally made popular by the Pennsylvania Dutch, it makes a great change for breakfast fare.
There are allot of 'closet SOS' eaters out there and you can still see SOS on many truck stop menus across the country today!
