Whats your Comfort food
 

Whats your comfort food? Mine is lasagna, made by my mother, never had it taste better by anyone else. I don't eat it now because of my diet, but around christmas time a lot of us get our comfort food, whats your's?

Steak and potatoes (mashed or baked, both are very good). I am a huge fan of lasagna as well. No one made it like Mom

please describe comfort food

Placenta...

Fried chicken and mashed potatoes with milk gravy. Mmmm

Very hot chicken curry with eggfried rice and chips :)

The term "comfort food" (first used, according to Webster's Dictionary, in 1977) refers to foods consumed to achieve some level of improved emotional status, whether to relieve negative psychological affect or to increase positive.[1] More generally, comfort food can be defined as food that brings some form or measure of comfort, sense of well-being, or easy satisfaction. Such food choices may consist of the simple and familiar. Dishes may be warm and filling such as a dish made with a staple food, or basically pleasing such as sweets or desserts. Some definitions suggest that home-prepared dishes are most typical,[2] or consumed in informal restaurants, but according to Wansink and Sangerman, Americans tend to select prepared foods and fast food for comfort uses, with ice cream, potato chips and chocolate ranking near the top. However, the term is meaningful not as a list of particular items, which will vary considerably from individual to individual, as well as culturally and by situation and emotional trigger, but as a psychological category of behavior.



Or in a nutshell, is there something that your mom made that when you eat it makes you feel good?

chinese or chicken madras! boooom!!

Shepherd's pie.

Please describe "lasagna"...

Mac n Cheese.

I like how I feel after eating salad and spaghetti.

All of the above. Except placenta.

I'll add in one of mine: A couple of boxes of KD (or just any kind of macaroni), extra cheese, about a pound and a half of lean ground beef, and about 3 cups of chopped onions and mixed veggies, garlic, maybe a few shakes of tabasco, various other spices you may have lying around.

Boil the pasta, brown the ground beef in a pan, lightly cook the onions/veggies in butter. Then mix it all into a large pot, add in large gobs of shredded cheese, parmesan cheese, a cup of milk and those cheese packets from the KD, spices, etc and mix it all up whilst it simmers for a short while.

I call it gluck.

Can also be made with rice instead of pasta. Then you sub in soya sauce for cheese usually, but there are no rules to it. Nothing like a huge pot of gluck on a cold wintery day, or on hangover day.

Pie and Mash smothered in liquor, Indian and Chinese (not all together).

Maybe hot milk with rice (and sugar / stevia).

As a kid we always had cold rice with milk just like cereal, loved it

Thanks. You have me craving that now ;)

Oreos and Milk for sure!

Carne Asada Tacos! with green jalapeno sauce, onions and cilandro baja style
add guac!

tomato, cucumber, and onion salad.

I still enjoy cold left over rice with milk lol

shepards pie. perogies with lots of sour cream, onions and bacon. toasted sandwiches with tomato soup.

Enjoying some lasagna right now. Chicken and dumplings is a good one for me... pot roast, too. Turkey dinner is on the list.

Guess I have a few.

Spaghetti and a meatballs

PHO Ga With plenty of hot sauce

Stuffing a big long meaty sausage down my throat is comforting

I have so many different comfort foods. Most of them aren't really that healthy and tend to put me to sleep after I eat them.

fish....

My mum would/will make really strange substitutions if she is missing an ingredient - nothing ever tasted the same twice.

Anything cooked by my mom :)

PB&J with apple juice, hahaha

Simple, effective, takes me back :)

And for the Placenta crowd: http://havingapoo.blogspot.com/2007/...nta-party.html Ugh...

Sheppard pie most def

reminds me of being a kid during the winter and my parents making it

gruel, beatings.

My mom doesn't use a recipe for lasagna, it never is exactly the same
She has the KFC recipe for Cole Slaw which I just made.


She also has the Chasen's Chili recipe
