Wartime Chop Suey (USA)
Just when I was thinking that this sounds flavorless but possibly edible if starvation were the only alternative, I noticed that it's meant to be served with rice cereal. o_O
Wartime Chop Suey
2 tablespoons fat
1 cup sliced onion
1/2 pound fresh pork, cut into strips
1/4 cup uncooked rice
