What are your comfort foods?

Macaroni cheese, vegetable mash with cheese, baked potato with …… hang on, cheese, basically 😁 Big mug of tea with dollop of sugar, too (don’t usually have sugar).

at the moment i am eating hot cross buns like they are going out of fashion! its helping me with the stress of moving house!
otherwise its ice cream or chocolate

Thick butter with a slice of toast underneath and marmalade on top.

GANNET

My husband’s home made wheaten and walnut soda bread out of the oven with butter. He started doing it to use up our walnuts before the squirrels got them.

Great name Gannet!

Naughty Dempie55, very naughty!

Digestive biscuits sandwiched together with chocolate spread and dunked in English Breakfast tea.

Greyduster

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.

My list would be very like this, apart from the malt loaf. I also love really fresh crunch crusted white bread, still warm, with butter.

Poached eggs on whole wheat toast either with avocado or smoked salmon

Fried egg on fried bread with a spreading of MMmmmarmite

Not necessarily together and in no particular order:
Vintage cheddar on toast
My own home-made soup, any kind
Semolina pudding with raspberry coulis
Well done, almost burnt, toast smothered in unsalted butter and home-made marmalade.

Smoked salmon and scrambled egg

Corned Beef Hash with a bit of chilli seasoning. Homemade soup and soda bread (Lorraine Pascale recipe) close second.

Fish finger butties on nice sourdough & best butter, not forgetting the tomato sauce 😋

Hot chocolate drink
Porridge with berries and banana
Rice pudding
Indian or Thai takeaway

That was in reply to the chips posts, sorry.

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 🤮

Tomato soup and toast.

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>

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.

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.

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....
