Comfort foods (or drinks!)

[Lukas-H]

So everyone, what is your comfort food and/or drink of choice? The one thing that could almost always make you feel  better even if you felt absolutely down in the dumps.

Mine would be chicken soup.

For drink, hot cocoa, unless it's too hot then iced tea almost always makes me feel better.

Yeah, we still have two of the old school places left, expensive, but worth it.

Comfort foods:

meatloaf/shepherd's pie and scalloped potatoes. Hard on the waist and cholesterol, but o such reminders of safe and comfortable times as well.

Wine, turkey, chocolate all have chemicals that effect well being. We are what we eat.

Szekely gulyas, houskove knedliky, and Budvar. Also, bryndzove halusky. Na zdravje!

Slavic at all, Alyssa?!! 

Just a bit!

But I've got some American in me too. Apple pie always makes me pretty darn happy.

Either that, or a nice hot slice of Bee-Bop-a-Ree-Bop Rhubarb Pie!

And no diet is complete without a certain amount of ketchup!

Just a bit of an NPR junkie. Right now I live out there on the other edge of the prairie!

Simple tastes here... Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich with a glass of milk... and NOT that 2% swill

My ideal comfort food changes with my mood. Usually, it's something hearty.

For a comfort drink, I'd say cocoa with Amaretto in it.

figgies (Fig Newtons)
snack chips (almost all kinds, except pretzels - bleh!)
Squirt
Coca Cola with lemon squeezed in
certain types of beer (e.g., ESB, Red Stripe)
crabs in the shell
well-made salads with everything, including onion
pizza with everything, (except anchovies - bleh!)
El Pollo Loco wings
Beef Bowl Combo with no veggies and lots of ginger root
Quarter Pounder w/cheese and fries (with Sprite)

[Osiris]

Ramen is the closest thing I have to comfort food. Another favorite is homemade beef stroganoff.

I'm not much on sweets but I do like home made apple pie, blueberry pie, strawberry pie, raspberry pie, Oh my goodness some good old home made bread of course, Custard with caramel sauce, toast with lots of butter and brown sugar "hee, hee hee." for the little kid in me. Now I'll have to put rat traps all around my plate to keep Wing Walker away.

pizza with everything, (except anchovies - bleh!)

agreed..pizza..but CHEESE! or Hawaiian style!

and on a side note, do they even put anchovies on pizza?! people always say "hold the anchovies" "everything except anchovies" but i've never walked into Pizza Hut and seen them refilling the anchovies bin!?

hmmmmm...food for thought
