Comfort Food — Page 2

I will second the motion for pizza; preferably thin crust. I do not care for reheated pizza though. It must be fresh from the oven

Another comfort food is White Castle Burgers a/k/a as "Belly Bombers".

salty crunchy stuff... chips, popcorn, etc

Food is my comfort it alwasy has been when I am upset or stressed I just eat anything I see. I don't eventhink I have one food it's just anything I see. That was I was a fat kid. But I just can;t help it, it's a bad habit but I just can't stop somtimed.

They just don't make soda like they used to. Here are some comfort drinks:

Cherry coke: 1 Tblsp. maraschino cherry juice stirred quickly in 8 oz Coke

Vanilla coke: 1/2 Tblsp. vanilla extract stirred in 8 oz Coke

Chocolate soda: Squirt some chocolate syrup (U-Bet or Bosco) in a tall glass (doesn't matter how much). Pour in some seltzer water (doesn't matter how much). Top it off with milk. Take a spoon and stir as fast as you can until your hand begins to cramp.

Chicken fried steak is beef (many times round steak) that is fried in a coating much like you would use for chicken.

Cream gravy is nectar of the gods. Delicious!!

Dallas BBQ's Early Bird Special. For 8.99, you and a friend get soup, half a rotisserie chicken, choice of yellow rice or baked potato and cornbread. God, I could live off of BBQ's.

I'm with Matt on really good biscuits. Southern cooking in general is my comfort food. That and my grandmother (Syrian, not Southern)'s mashed potatoes.

Master, I'm southern, too, and know there's a Heavenly Hash recipe somewhere -- you know, fruit cocktail, cocoanut, etc, -- that actually includes all of those food groups of yours. Seriously.

any chicken noodle soup
mashed potatoes and gravy (and biscuits too)
baked potato w/ just butter.

why is all comfort food bad for you? LOL

Here's a childhood comfort food

3/4 cup black coffee (yes, I drank coffee as early as grade school; yes my chest is hairy)
1 Sleeve of Saltine crackers
1 can of Borden's Condensed Milk

Take a small handfull of Saltine crackers and crumble them into the black coffee. Spoon some condensed milk over the crackers and coffee. Eat with a spoon. As you work your way thru the Saltines, add more Saltines and more condensed milk. Repeat and continue your way down the cup until you've consumed the entire sleeve of Saltines, nearly the entire can of condensed milk and oh, the 3/4 cup of coffee.

Try it, it's delicious! (As is the haddock sandwich in HOW TO SUCCEEED...).

p.s. not all of my comfort foods involve crackers: Ritz, Saltines or otherwise.

Absolutely NOT! (I do have a hairy chest!!)

I don't indulge in this treat and haven't for years (for obvious reasons). The memories come back however.

One has to try it.

my boyfriend and I dreamed up the most fattening food possible once. granted we never made it, but it sounds so yummy. twice baked three cheese macaroni balls battered and deep fried and served with sour cream. now that is comfort food.

I love macaronni and cheese

Buy the Automat book & use their Macaroni & Cheese recipe. If done right, you will be in heaven. Let me know when you do it as I'd like to drop over. Haven' had a real good macaroni & cheese since God knows when.
