Sounds like somebody never tried a warm plate of Scraggledy Numps, or a bowl of Thumps in a Bodice, or even a hot cup of Singeshammy Longerjohns in Tabbernickywammelty sauce.
So called because the toast in military kitchens were nicknamed shingles, as in roofing tiles. Evocative of bad cooking, which I’m betting was rampant.
Honestly, shit on a shingle (s.o.s. appropriately) is better than it sounds, even when not referred to under that name. But it’s definitely a comfort food. It’s not good for you, it’s just creamy, beefy, and starch. Inoffensive, cheap, and easy to make in bulk. (Kinda want some now.)

I genuinely believe these are actual names of actual british foods.
Go back far enough, and you uncover dishes with wonderful names like Farts of Portingale.

Ever tried some bubble and squeak?
I had a hot cup of Singeshammy Longerjohns in Tabbernickywammelty sauce once.
Never again! I prefer mine cold.
