Favorite Comfort Foods

[nissangirl74]

I'm conducting an experiment and I need your help. I need to know what your five favorite comfort foods are. Fried chicken, blackberry cobbler, homemade cookies, pot roast, whatever floats your boat. I'll let you know it was for after I collect all the data.

Thanks for your help!

[Dano]

Greg should know this... mashed potatoes and gravy, haha.

[scotty-2-forty]

Anything pastry ... especially with chocolate!

[AZhitman]

Babe, give the team here a definition of "comfort foods", just in case. I'm not sure all of them know the term.

[frapjap]

Curry anything.
Salmon. Lots of it.
Ice Cream- peanut butter cup
blue box macaroni and cheese with hot italian sausage
guacamole and pita bread

*Edited because I missed the "5" instruction portion.

[nissangirl74]

By definition, comfort food is food that brings some form or measure of comfort, sense of well-being, or easy satisfaction, usually from being warm and filling such as a dish made with a staple food, or basically pleasing such as sweets or desserts

Basically, anything that makes you feel good when you eat it. For example, Blackberry cobbler brings back fond memories of me and my dad picking wild blackberries together on his farm. Strawberry jam makes me remember all the jars of freezer jam my mom and I used to make together. When I was pregnant with Katrina, one of my favorite things was breakfast foods: biscuits and homemade sausage gravy with bacon and eggs.

[AppleBonker]

1. Chili
2. French onion Soup
3. Mac and Cheese
4. Any pasta with good Italian sausage
5. My Grandma's recipe for potato salad

But why 5?

Honorable mention: Reuben sammich!

Eh, my bad ... I missed the "5 favorite" instruction. Hmmmmmm, in no particular order:
1. Chocolate anything (if specific - candy, syrup, cake, pudding, etc.)
2. Donuts
3. Prime rib
4. Calzone
5. Beer ... yes, it's a food.

[nissangirl74]

But why 5?

I wanted a sample size large enough to get good feedback but not so large that it would be impossible to control the data.

[nissangirl74]

5. Beer ... yes, it's a food.

[FutureDRFTer]

1.) Jimmy John's Turkey Tom w/o tomatoes.
2.) Supreme Pizza
3.) Large Milkshake (Vanilla/Chocolate/Strawberry/etc.)
4.) Shrimp Fettucini Alfredo
5.) STEAK!


Random but mmmmmm

[nissangirl74]

It's interesting when comparing people's favorites with the location they grew up in. I posted this on my FB page as well. My friends from TN are all about the chicken 'n dumplings (sorry, Love).

[Encryptshun]

Creamed chipped beef on toast (known to many as SoS or Sh*t ona Shingle).

Pasta with homemade meatballs and gravy, Napolitan style

[Urabus GodofTraction]

Fried Okra. Anthing with corned beef (hash, Rueben, straight up). BBQ (Carolina style). Probably missing some, but that's a few.

[AZhitman]

Creamed chipped beef on toast (known to many as SoS or Sh*t ona Shingle).

WORST thing in the world for you, but one of my Top Five for sure. Mmmmmmm......

Fried Okra.

Also one of my favorites. I've eaten well over a pound in one sitting. Oooof.

Meatloaf, supreme pizza, and that apple crisp thing my wife makes, rounds out my Top Five.

[Mr1der]

[Koshin]

[sx moneypit]

[hannibal]

Rice and peas! Or peas and rice if youre from bahamas. Or red beans and rice for the puerto ricans. A meal all by itself.

potato salad
fried chicken
beef stew
johnny cakes aka thick, heavy, fried biscuits

[Amays U G37S]

I live in Ga, and im italian.

1) Steak n taters.
2) Catfish, Okra, Collard Greens, and Cornbread + Hot Sauce (or most southern dishes)
3) Pasta with Johnsonville Sausage (hot or mild) mmmmmm....
4) CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE perferably, chocoholic attack, has to be moist.
5) Beef Stew/chili

This probably sums it up. Has to be hearty, warming, and full. Chili, I can do without mostly, but I love anything that goes in the crock pot. Mostly Beef Stew.

The southern dishes, or soul food, ranges from fish to bbq. However, I love me some Catfish. Especially when I'm catch'n'um.

Hell, If theirs enough of it, Ill eat anything, typically, that is edible. From American, to Korean. God, I love Sushi.

EXCEPT NASTY FISH STICKS IN A BAG 9iodfkieormgoxicfj Disgusting.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

1. French Fries
2. Chili (Any meat...as long as it's good an spicy...hell I've had turkey chili that was the best chili I'd ever had)
3. Miso Soup

Also, in before the 240 owners turn this into a favorite foods thread.

Listen, driftorito, I love steak and Jimmy John's as much as the next guy, but I didn't get fed that after walking to my grandma's house (dirt road and bare feet, even!).

Perhaps, though, as the family unit breaks down, fast food will BE the new comfort food. If you can't assign a warming childhood memory to it, it's not comfort food.

Good example: Fried Mullet and cheese grits- stopping by a little greasy spoon in the morning for breakfast whenever dad took me fishing.
Bad example: I f***' love Taco Bell burritos.

If your comfort foot is mass produced by some corporation, then well, son, I pity you.

[alms24sebring]

1)sausage gravy

I usually hate the s*** you put up here, but I 100% agree with you on this one

PALO! A thai dish you cant find at any restaurants because it takes forever to make and looks terribly unappealing to Americans. Its typically only served in southeast asian households. I always eat more than I can handle. Tastes best with really gristly pork and hard boiled eggs. I have to nag mom to make it. If my mom ever died I'd dig her grave, resurrect her with a car battery, and get her to cook zombie style.


Chicken fried steak. Om nom nom. My friend Linda makes the best, period.

Don't you have some cars to ruin or something in the name of last year's Euro trends?
