[JitterbugPerfume]

I am making me some co -co wheats!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Mashed potatoes.

Or mac and cheese. Or waffles.

If it's fattening and starchy it makes me feel good.

[JitterbugPerfume]

3. mashed potatoes with gravy

and fried chicken


<sigh>

[Gormy Cuss]

25. Ditto on the mashed potatoes. n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

6. I must say

[GOPisEvil]

5. Pizza. Meatloaf. Mac and cheese.

[JitterbugPerfume]

7. meatloaf

[Inchworm]

8. Cheese

[GoddessOfGuinness]

[gblady]

[Amerigo Vespucci]

13. It's gotta be a meat loaf sandwich

I make the "Quaker Oats Meat Loaf" recipe... a classic (and a prize-winning recipe, too). I buy "boneless beef stew meat" at the local market (chuck steak, basically) and grind it myself to guarantee top-quality ground beef. I usually bake a potato with the meat loaf and add a veggie on the side, which makes a wonderful meal, but that's nothing compared to the next day when I get out the Orowheat 3-seed Oatnut bread, add a little mayo, and have the COLD MEAT LOAF SANDWICH OF THE GODS.

:toast:

[JitterbugPerfume]

16. with a slice of cheese

hold the mayo

[JTG of the PRB]

14. Cheese-stuffed crust pizza, cheesey mashed potatoes, and meatloaf.

When I'm feeling down, any one of those will help be feel somewhat less down.

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. meatloaf

I'm gonna love him till the end of time:rofl:

[fizzgig]

[JitterbugPerfume]

The grilled cheese MUST be made with Velveeta or it doesn't count.

[JitterbugPerfume]

[Broken_Hero]

27. Usually

[JitterbugPerfume]

37. my digestive system

can't handle fast food any more, but back in the day I enjoyed a Whopper once in a while

[Zavulon]

28. Even though I've asked this on DU before,

I still don't fully understand what the term "comfort food" means. Would somebody please enlighten me?

[JitterbugPerfume]

29. it is food

that reminds you of mom and the simpler times of your childhood

It is the food that you eat when you are sad or not feeling well

kinda like chicken soup for the soul but not so sappy

[Zavulon]

65. Thanks.

I can't think of any food that fits the description, though.

[auntAgonist]

30. yellow split pea soup !

tomato soup
lentil soup
cabbage soup
mushroom soup
barley w/beef soup


ummmmmmm

SOUP :)

[JitterbugPerfume]

35. hey aunt Agonist

how do you really feel about soup?


you left out 15 bean soup with collards and cornbread

[auntAgonist]

39. y'know ..

I could LIVE on soup but I wouldn't get enough protein :(
I've never had collards, but bean soup .. now that's YUMMY !

:hi:

:hug:

aA

[fizzgig]

58. i love cabbage soup

my mom used to make it when we were kids and it was one of my favorites.

[ogneopasno]

31. Macaroni and cheese from a box with a can of tuna mixed in. Eaten out of the pan. Oh, and a beer.

That about covers it.

[JitterbugPerfume]

40. If you have a sliced tomato with that

instead of the beer I am with you! I love canned tuna . I sometimes eat a can of tuna and crackers for lunch( with tiny midget sweet pickles)

[ogneopasno]

43. Well, I have to say, now I buy it in a "packet" because it's easier to store...here's a tuna recipe

I made last night:

Mix up some canned tuna with some shredded cojack cheese and some reduced-fat cream cheese. (If you don't mind a little artificial flavoring, get the hickory smoked Starkist tuna OR add a quarter-teaspoon of Liquid Smoke to the mix.) Slice some roasted red peppers and mix them in too. Spread some on a tortilla, put another tortilla on top of it, and cook on a skillet until the tortilla browns a bit. Flip and cook the other side. Tuna-y melty goodness! Enjoy!

[MissMillie]

38. all of them

I can't think of any food that doesn't provide tremendous comfort... and I pretty much love all food.

[JitterbugPerfume]

41. Miss Millie

that just kinda sums it up!!---except okra!

[redqueen]

46. That's my answer too.

I can't pick just one favorite... I will consider whatever's available and tasty as the perfect comfort food.

[JitterbugPerfume]

48. I am surprised

that no one has said CHOCOLATE, the ultimate comfort food!

[redqueen]

53. Chocolate is the perfect food full stop.

Not the perfect comfort food, or the perfect special-occasion treat... it's just the perfect food, period. :P

[MissMillie]

55. I love chocolate

but if I have a choice between a little bit of chocolate and a lot of something else, I'm likely to go w/ the something else.

[jobycom]

44. Cheese pizza with a coke. Potato chips come in second.

[JitterbugPerfume]

49. put some 'shrooms on half of that pizza

and come on over!

[geardaddy]

45. Tater tot hotdish...

Mmmmm....



Or good NE clam chowder with a pat of butter and black pepper and oyster crackers.

[JitterbugPerfume]

50. ohhh! I got real sick on tatertots once!

it was brutal

[geardaddy]

54. That sucks.

I love tater tots. I'd be sad if I couldn't eat them anymore.

[ceile]

63. That looks like "Mike's Tasty Dish"

I have no idea where the name came from, but that's what we call it. Well, my brother in law calls it white trash food. Anyway, it's basically a pound of ground beef cooked in a loaf pan with cream of mushroom soup and tater-tots on top. It is soooo yummy!

[Shell Beau]

47. Mac-n-cheese!

[JitterbugPerfume]

51. my grandson could live on mac and cheese!

he loves that stuff

[Shell Beau]

52. I could too! I love it. Homemade is my fave, but I do love Kraft

and Velveeta shells. :9 I have hardly ever met a bad mac-n-cheese.

[Lorien]

61. Mine too-that or grilled cheese sandwiches

almost the same thing I guess! :9

[applegrove]

56. Pizza.

[namahage]

57. Ochazuke.

Hot tea and rice, with toppings (usually seaweed, pickled plums, or fish).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochazuke

http://epicureandebauchery.blogspot.com/2005/07/imbb-tastetea-ochazuke.html (includes recipe)

Packaged ochazuke mix (just add rice and water) is also popular, and OK in a pinch, though it's a bit like settling for instant chicken noodle soup from a pouch.

[sister taoist]

59. Macaroni and cheese, only I do a "healthy" version:

Organic whole wheat pasta and organic cheese. Soy mylk instead of regular. And gotta have those organic stewed tomatoes on the side! Mmm...

[spinbaby]

60. Tapioca pudding

The kind with the big pearls in it.

[ceile]

62. chicken fried steak w/ mashed taters and cream gravy.

Nothing better than a really good CFS. :9

[Sisaruus]

66. My mom's mac'n'cheese

No one makes it like she does.

[hippywife]

67. Anything within reach.

It's been a really depressing week. :(

[MajorChode]

68. Grits and hawg jowels

[foxfeet]

69. Pinto beans and cornbread.

And nowadays, sadly, Beano.

[yellowdogintexas]

70. Mexican food.

also: mac/cheese (the real deal with real cheese)
pizza
fried chicken
pie

and if they are really good, french fries

[Left Is Write]

71. I don't have a single favorite -

but roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, and carrots is always a good comfort food standby.

And Mom's chocolate chip cookies. And homemade bread.

[dysfunctional press]

72. breyer's vanilla-fudge twirl ice cream, slathered in REAL maple syrup.

mmmmmm....
