Maw I am so pleased that Hattie has landed on all four paws now. I did not realise she loved food so much- rather different from kennel food- the extras that is, whether acquired legitimately or not!

Egg and home made chips in a good old fashioned chip pan.x

Oh that reminds me Mick - corned beef hash! Mmmm!

One meal I enjoy in a pub in Banbury on occasions as its a filler is the following Bubble & Squeak, Fried Egg, Baked Beans and cold ham.
On the ready made microwave range with brown sauce for taste Corn Beef Hash.

Callistemon - Hattie will eat anything.
As a greyhound in kennels I expect she was not over fed, as racing hounds are very lean, but oh my goodness she is making up for it now!
I think she likes eating only second to sleeping.

Cheese on thick, squidgy toast with HP Sauce. Mmmmmm...

Stew and dumplings.

Shepherd’s pie.

Ooh yes, Lancashire Hotpot pudding

MawB your dog has unusual tastes, or will she eat anything? (rather like a spaniel we had years ago).

We had a M&S pie last night with mashed potatoes, peas and extra gravy and very good it was too.
The first time we've bought one but it may not be the last!

Another cottage/shepherd's pie fan here. I do the meat in the slow cooker with frozen casserole veg so it takes care of itself until it's time for the lovely buttery mash to go on top.

I don't top with grated cheese but I do when it's fish pie. Not sure why.

I like bread and marg with sugar on it.

Mashed potato is right up there.

Like Grannymosh I love white bread, but eat whole meal for its 'health benefits'. Sigh.

Soggy scrambled egg or tinned rice pudding are my go tos.

Cottage pie topped with cheese

Chips with beef slices in Gravy and cheese. Every Wednesday. I love Wednesdays.

Ginsters Peppered steak slice, only when they're on offer though, with lashings of pickled red cabbage.

Corned beef hash.

What makes food into comfort food? Most of the above look like normal meals in winter.

After 20-odd years of eating wholemeal bread, I had a couple of thick slices of toasted white bread last week, dripping with butter, and with a good grind of sea salt scattered over the surface. (Don't knock it until you have tried it!) I had forgotten how utterly divine it tastes. Wholemeal is now off the menu.

Mashed potato. Maybe some gravy. But definitely mash. It was my staple diet for 6 years after stomach surgery that went horribly wrong and I had to learn to eat again.

Everyone says I should be sick of mash after eating it day in day out for so long, but I love it and it’s definitely my comfort food

Lancashire Hotpot ,made in the oven for 3 to 4 hour s so the potatoes are all brown and sticky on the top.!
