I have no idea what this is, but if you ever needed a flow chart on how to make Salisbury steak, LOL

Hmm, I suspect people in Salisbury, MD would just skip all the steps and use the blast freezer

Ha, the US Army has (had?) a Food Engineering Laboratory. So this is MIL SPEC SALISBURY STEAK.

210 lbs of ground beef, in this economy?!

I guess if you need to feed 700 of your closest friends. #salisburysteak

@ai6yr I like how every quantity calls for some weird non-integer number of eggs. 1.03 eggs?

@scm @ai6yr

Looks like it's calling for 1.03 pounds of beaten egg, which is different. There's no one one egg is going to do anything for 100 servings.

@alienghic @ai6yr oh yes, I was thrown off by the “eggs, whole”, but everything is in lbs… I also wasn’t looking at the totals 😆

Measuring eggs by the pound is slightly weird, but I guess it’s probably more accurate than counting eggs at that scale

@scm @ai6yr

Wait there's a way to make it one, one pound egg.

Just use an emu egg. (which weighs 1-2 pounds)

@alienghic @scm I think using emu would not be milspec 🤪
Show threadDianeJun 25, 2025

@ai6yr @scm

But Emu are tough!

The Australian army was largely unsuccessful in their campaign against the emu.

@ai6yr @alienghic @scm Who here has eaten scrambled emu egg? Just me?

@mazz @ai6yr @scm

i saw one at a farmers market but was too cheap to shell out the $15 for it.

Show threadMary MazzoccoJun 25, 2025
@alienghic @ai6yr @scm Counterpoint: It’s definitely enough egg to share with the whole table.

@mazz @ai6yr @alienghic @scm hell yeah, mine was ostrich. Like 2 dozen chicken eggs worth. More egg than the two of us could eat in one sitting. Highly recommend

@mazz @ai6yr @alienghic @scm the largest I've eaten was a goose egg. The shell is a lot harder to break than a duck or hen egg.
Show threadBrian CampbellJun 25, 2025
@scm @ai6yr in case you missed it, that's 1.03 pounds of eggs, all of the ingredients are measured in weight which makes for much more consistent cooking than counts or volumes

@unlambda @scm How many gold bars is 1.03 pounds of eggs? 🤪
