Start what? Pointing out the deleteriousness of using food as a comfort blanket against the travails of the world?! Or revealing the peril of using starches and proteins to shield one's vanity from the unforgiving truth? :mad:

A little from column A, a little from column B :P

Yamanoto

Gotta be the lasagndwich for me.

bb1234567

Toasted guinness brown bread with butter and jam and a big mug of tea

dark crystal

Fresh cream cakes. Or cheesecake.

Any cake.

osarusan

Bacon, chicken, tomato, avocado sandwich on brown bread, with some salt and mayonnaise.

When I say comfort food, I'm not using it in the context of being hungover and craving it. Instead, my comfort food is something that I can eat a lot of and love every bite but really shouldn't eat it so may feel some guilt afterwards. A good quality cheeseburger on a doughy bun from the cuts of meat used to the way they are cooked; from the cheese I'm in the mood for (usually a gooey Brie) to the mushrooms/jalapeños and accompanying sauce; I am in heaven.

Guggy egg. Had it today and yesterday for brekkie following its discussion in another thread

We always call it Uggy egg! Used to give it to the kids when they were babies(well small people anyway )for brekkie. They wouldn't touch it now as its a "kiddies breakfast" :rolleyes:

For me there is only one real comfort treat.
Chips smother in gravy with white Brennans pan and a dollop of coleslaw on the side with rakes of salt.
All the healthy essentials covered there i reckon

Novella

Right now, any kind of fruit and nut granola.

When I'm not a crazy pregnant lady who has gone off every food ever, I love potato waffles with melted cheese (which sucks because I live in a place where you can't get potato waffles) or a roast dinner cooked by my mam (which also sucks because she lives about five thousand miles away so I haven't had the pleasure of eating anything cooked by her in almost a year.)

I really like chicken balls from the Chinese with curry sauce. Or sweet n sour sauce. A big bag of chipper chips, mmm. A slice of warm apple tart with custard is a good comfort food too because it reminds me of being a kid - my granny always made apple tarts and served it with custard.

I know it's not a food but Lucozade instantly makes me feel better, whether I'm sick or have just had a shit day. I have been paying $70 to have six litres of it shipped from the UK, that's how much I need it in my life.

Toast with a nice, runny egg.

Okay, I'm going to stop now. I just really miss eating yummy food!

Gooners

Cheese on toast and hot chocolate.
Heaven!

Barbequed high-horse served med/well

Right Turn Clyde

A large bottle of Guinness Extra Stout (off the shelf!), two slices of freshly baked brown bread and butter as thick as sliced cheese.

Just a little Samba

Dosa with Sambar and Tomato Chutney or Poori Masala for me.

retro:electro

White chocolate fingers or tesco chocolate chip brioche... Mmmm

jimboblep

Two heels of a batch loaf, black pudding, lashings of butter
and a big mug of tea

Korat

Anything with hot chilli peppers, though it becomes a discomfort food a few hours later.

Dozer Dave

Sheep dip and a jacket potato.

You will have that on an Irish forum you know.

PARlance

Yorkshire puddings dosed in gravy, thousands of them.

A Croque Monsieur. Two slices of good sourdough, organic black ham, thick cut slices of Gubbeen, topped with a béchamel sauce with just a hint of nutmeg added.

I'd enjoy this (very) occasionally with a good Dunkelweizen.

That was the most pretentious way to say "ham, cheese, bread and beer" ever.

This will not do. Five pages in and not a single person has said JaffaCakes.

I do echo the OP's love for potato waffles. Have them all the time.

RichFTW

Potato waffle sandwich: Fried runny egg topped with grated cheddar cheese in between two potato waffles. Amazing. Crave it even more now that I live in Canada and can't get waffles.

Taco snackbox

Korat

Thanks for sharing an insight.

TheBeardedLady

Soup and toast.

Dangerous Man

Comfort food? So many to choose from. Mashed potatoes, sausages and baked beans is one. Poutine is another. A good Irish stew. Lasagna. Cream crackers with processed cheese slices. A toasted cheese sandwich with cream of mushroom soup for dipping.

rosb

Dunking custard creams in coffee made on milk

Brown bread, real butter and homemade jam

Chocolate Kimberlys

Chocolate covered J Os (think they called that! Irish version of Oreos) -a new discovery. ..fab

A bag of greasy chips smothered in salt and vinegar.

Shenshen

Falafel. With lots of tsatsiki and any kind of hot sauce, stuffed into a hot pitta bread with tons of lettuce, cucumber and onion.

I think I might make that for tea today

Other than that, pasta. Any shape, with tomato sauce, or with mushroom sauce, or just with garlic and olive oil. Or in a soup. I could eat pasta 3 meals a day, 7 days a week.

Emsloe

Good homemade nachos with enough cheese and sour cream on the side to sink a battleship.

Pad Thai would be pretty high up on the list. Also pho.

Steve_Carella

Chicken wings. Loads of them. So many of them. I want all the chicken wings, all of them.

Corvo

I often associate food with social activities and one of my favourites is when a few of the lads call around for a football match on television, game of poker or perhaps a session on the Xbox.

Start from scratch, invest in a few spices etc. and make up perhaps two different curries. Maybe a lamb jalfrezi (I like mine hot) and a chicken thai green curry (or whatever takes your fancy) for those that prefer something milder, pop them both into the middle of the table, few naan breads and other sides etc. and ice cold beer.

A perfect remedy to a stressful week and the food will be great (pop over to the Cooking/Recipes forum for curry ideas)

Omg pho and bun bo hue are two of my favourite things on earth. Can't believe I left them out.

NachoBusiness

Toasted rasher sambo (with slices of grilled tomatoe and a Paul Newman sauce so I delude myself that it's healthy).

Wobbly_Legs

A packet of Tayto will always cheer me up.
Or
Mashed potato with lots of butter and salt.. when I'm super miserable ill mix in some beans too, in one big mess in a bowl.:pac:

Well you did so you can't have them now.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Anything bold and carby. I'm pretty good at cooking things from scratch and eating plenty raw veg and fruit, so if I'm having a crappy day it's like a small act of rebellion or something to just get chips or pizza and eat them straight from the container, in front of the telly. Take that, society, I say to myself.

BeerWolf

Anything edible.

podgemonster

Overly Salty Popcorn

So, you burn everything you cook from scratch and end up eating raw veg? :pac:

How's that supposed to get you a husband? :rolleyes:
