What are your comfort foods?

Thickly buttered toast with a mug of Bovril, made like I make tea with a splash of milk.

Fruit bread toast with raspberry jam, chocolate and a good brewed coffee. Not healthy but nice.

Cheese on toast

Thick toast with butter and my orange marmalade morning time with a mug of tea. Thick toast with butter Marmite and bovril with lots of pepper afternoon's but not every day.

Cheesy garlic bread with a nice Sauvignon Blanc to wash it down. When I can't be bothered to cook this can become an indulgent evening meal.

Chopped up boiled egg in a cup, salt and pepper, with toast soldiers and butter. Takes me back to childhood.

A bowl of 'lobby', has to be made with mince though and floury old potatoes. My mum's recipe. ❤️

Cream crackers and strong cheese

A good fish pie;
Bacon lettuce and tomato on a panini roll with lashings of mayo;
A chunk of good cheddar and a crisp apple;
A baked potatoes with tuna and sweetcorn;
Malt loaf.

I do like a crunchy mature cheddar but not so much as comfort food.
Though if no chocolate or other comfort foods are available I do like Philadelphia cheese spread on lightly charred toast.

My home-made digestive biscuits which contain some shredded dark chocolate, sesame seeds and a few dried cranberries.

Really good dried dates.

Stinky cheese with real butter on crusty bread. I am eating low carb at the moment so missing proper bread.

I am cheap to keep. My favourite since childhood, as I don't like fried or poached eggs, 2 boiled eggs with chips, cooked by my mother but as she has been dead since 1979, hardly likely.

A cup of coffee with a chocolate biscuit or two.

I think that my GN name tells you all that you need to know about my taste, but I do agree with those mentioning cheesy stuff - I would eat most things topped with melted cheese.
It's interesting, reading this, as a vegetarian, that meat doesn't seem to rate highly as comfort food.
I wonder why?

Chips

Chips

A bag of chips smothered in salt and vinegar. Just chips. Perfect 🤩

Def salt snd vinegar. Belgians might make great beer snd waffles but MAYO on your chips?

I remember in my early teenage years if my best friend or myself suffered heartbreak, which happened nearly every week, we would decamp to the wall outside the local chippy and both pool our pennies for a portion of chips wrapped in newspaper, teenage tears often flavoured our chips but after we’d finished a local boy or two would have no doubt joined us on the wall - it was a regular teenage hang out - and we would have cheered up no end.

I cant imagine a life without chocolate 🥱. Gelato ice-cream lovely in the summer. Baked potatoes with crispy skins with cheesy fillings and fish pie are both very comforting in winter months....

When I was a bit under the weather with a cold my mum used to make me hot buttery mashed potato with a boiled egg on top, scooped out of the shell, to mix in.
I still make it myself sometimes for comfort.

And if I was on a diet it would be buttered spinach, also with a poached egg on top.

Spinach imo is a much underrated food.

No argument but Mayo on Chips is fine if they are long and crispy French fries à la Belgique - but not on soggy chip shop chips. They of course need the salt and vinegar .

No, no and thrice times no <shudders>

Tomato soup and toast.

Am afraid Mayo is just on everything these days whether you want it or not, I imagine it will be on the traditional roast dinner next and put on top of shepherds pie, well, if they put it on traditional ploughman’s sandwiches, why not??
Would be so pleased if it was offered in sachets rather than being slathered all over everything. Nasty stuff 🤮
