God, it all sounds so good!
The liver even sounds good the way it was described with apples.
Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate!! Especially if it is a chocolate souffle...like dad used to make me for breakfast. Yum. So rich and delish!
Roast beef with lots of dark gravy. Fresh bread to sop it up, french cut beans, and old cheddar cheese. Dairy is great comfort food.
Also, I sometimes turn to a good meatpie. Either beef, turkey, or a tortierre. F'ing fabulous!
I remember reading that Julia Childs comfort foods were red meat and gin.
Mine is Yankee pot roast with brown gravy and egg noodles.
Just like mom used to make.
Steak and mashed potatoes and (looking back) peas.
Not so much in daily life now is that meal a comfort, but I swear, when it rains and life is dismal and I am tired from work, I want a steak from the nearest grocery store.
Or, indian food, which can easily be vegetarian. Trouble is, it is hard to find any good indian food, as in asian indian food, here.
OMG......I feel so left out, I don't have a comfort food! This upsets me...
~~Looks around to see whats at hand~~
Humm, Still don't have a comfort food.
I've always enjoyed roasted chimpmunk heads. Crunchy and satisfying.
My Mamaw used to boil squirrel brains and crack them with a spoon and scoop out the brains.
YUCK!!!
Are you sure she didn't boil the heads, makemeshiver?
Or am I to believe that a squirrel has a brain within a brain?
Gramps used to get us to shoot squirrels and then he'd make squirrel stew....blah, tasted like gross! Come to think of it, he'd cook up about anything that could be shot or trapped. Funny man, he was.
The cool thing about Gramps was he was the first and only one in the family to actually eat vegetarian meals with me. I think I developed my taste for the odd from him.
To Gramps *raises glass*
Hmmm.... confort food would be pasta, I think. I dunno if I really have a comfort food as per Chai's definition, though.
What? and all this time you told me seaweed was your numero uno comfort food littlek. In fact I'm sure you told me seaweed with hardboiled eggs.
I've just discovered hot peanut butter sandwiches on semolina bread.
Cut a hunk of bread, remove some of the doughy part, butter vigorously, spread with peanut butter (I like the kind with honey) and microwave for 12 seconds.
Substantial bliss.
Seqweed is good, Dys, but not a comfort food.

There's a joint in my town that makes a hot peanut butter and bacon sandwich on rye.
I try and limit myself to one every two months.
I've never asked if they butter the bread first. Some things are just not worth knowing.
<whistling with fingers in ears>
Lion Tamer--
You remind me of a weekend when Mr. Noddy and I were courting. He had a brand new camper and wanted to do a dry run at a PA State Park Camping Site.
I enjoy the wilderness, but in July at a PA State Park Camping Site you are very close to many-many other people.
Our next door neighbors had been on the site for two days and they already had a six foot chain of pop-off beer tabs. I'd guess the senior camper might have been 20--possibly 21.
At three in the morning they decided that not only are they too wasted to drive for some food, they are running short of money.
They decide to fry bacon.
They find the frying pan. They find the bacon. The bacon goes in the pan.
Then a guy screams, "Wait. Ya gotta put butter in first or it'll stick."
Such romantic moments.
Noddy,
There are few things worse in this world than sticky bacon.
One possibility is the odor of sticky, buttery, bacon frying outside your window in the heat of youthful passion.
This may be why college kids drink to excess on a regular basis.
Graham crackers and milk.

Yes! I'm with k on this one!
Alio e Olio, with much chili! Don't hold the garlic!
<swoon!>
Or with a freshly made pesto sauce! In summer. To die for!
You'd have to be comforted after one of those!
oh makesmeshiver, you don't have a comfort food?
There's not something special you need to eat when nobody likes you, you don't know anything, you're cranky and unreasonable and need to take a nap but refuse?
Grilled cheese sandwich, ah, comes up and hugs you from inside, and says it doesn't matter what all those poop heads are saying, grill cheese sandwich loves you.
