What is your comfort food?

[KevinMao133]

Yangzhou Fried Rice with Eggs

I love Chinese food. It represents culture, it represents family, it represent comfort

 

[Metalhead]

Pad Thai noodles from the joint a couple blocks away from my house, with chicken. That is great comfort food right there.

A large bowl of buttered popcorn sprinkled with garlic powder and parmesan cheese.

The smoke alarm is not a cooking timer.

The smoke alarm is not a cooking timer.

Oh. That's what I'm doing wrong .

 

[AuroraBorealis]

A mug of grain coffee substitute with milk. And, if I'm hungry, a large pot of pasta with a tomato sauce with tuna, and some parmesan cheese.

Similar, but not the same. Working at a hospital, every single day before getting started working I had to have a Snickers - every single day of work. Since I left that job - haven't had a Snickers since and no desire for one. Guess they just got me through the night, I dunna.

 

[Roisin]

Teriyaki chicken if I'm ordering food, otherwise a choux pastry with fresh cream and Belgian chocolate. Nom.

It's a special chocolate cake, it's available in only one place, I think you have to rob the baker to get the recipe, no one else has it. And they have been making cakes since 1890. So they know what they are doing. I don't know if they put opioids in it it or what the secret is but when you have tasted it, you must have another bite. It's chocolate and berries, delicious. So once in a while I treat myself to that, usually after a long work-filled day. It's a mood enhancer.

Also, during winter the comfort food is crispbread with goat cheese and a cup of cocoa. Very good.

A cup of cold toddy (toddy in this case being the name of Choco sugary powder) with Nutella (but let's be real Nutella is f* expensive so I'll probs just go with pork pate or blackberry jam)

Or. OR. A big serving of full milk vanilla or coconut yogurt with spoonfuls of dulce de leche. Or cheap ice cream.

Chicken lomito árabe from a local Lebanese shop is good too. Plus protein and doesn't leave me jittery. (lomito árabe was an adaptation of the shawarma to our more local ingredients. I haven't tried shawarma yet but wanna).

Peppermint, and Chai tea, Earl Grey, great teas.

My favorite is Lapsang Souchong. Definitely an acquired taste.

Chocolate. Mmmmmmm...

Should you be in this thread?
I know I shouldn't be.

Got to go...

Spoiler

To get some chocolate...

 

[Jonn]

I know that tea is a beverage not a food but does a cup of hot tea count?

If you freeze it, it might be.

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

My comfort food is Steak frites. The steak done medium rare with a good char and the shoestring fries done in tallow or Duck fat. They are not a health food so I really do not care for them done in vegetable oil.

A close second is a Chicago Hot Dog dragged through the garden, including the sport peppers.

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

Beef pies. Not the mass produced rubbish, a real pie fresh from the oven in a little corner bakery. Iced coffee and a snot block (Vanilla Slice) to go with it.

As long as the pies are not made by a Mrs. Lovett.

Chai is low energy and poor lately so the ones in bags are the ones I was obsessed with for a while. I need to try the one made traditionally, so to speak.
