Whats your comfort food?

[brewmaster15]

Everyone has a few dishes that just makes them happy or picks them up when they are down. Doesnt need to be a fancy dish, most times its a simple dish that brings back memories of a more simple time..

For me.. peanut butter and jelly on toast is a good one. I used to eat that as a kid.

I also really enjoy the warm pick me up of yellow curry.... even instant box curry noodles (my lunch just now btw) it just is so simple and so good.

For a more complex meal it has to be pot roast...

or left over lasagna..cold. . Its how I had it growing up after a holiday meal


How about you? What are your comfort foods?

My comfort food is macaroni and cheese with fried polish sausage cut into round slices mixed in with it. Easy to prepare and cook but adds a great flavor to the mac and cheese.

Just make sure you cut the polish sausage into slices, put them in a fry pan and when they are done put them in a bowl. Then cook the mac and cheese and when that is done with the cheese in it then mix in the sausage with the mac and cheese and everyone will love it. When you do it let me know how it was.

Mine has to be a steaming bowl of good beef stew. Made one just last week. Lots still left in the freezer, too.

I'm equal opportunity for comfort food. I do like a good beef stew or biscuits and gravy though.

For me, it is pasta bolognese. It takes me back to my childhood. Italian heritage, ;)

New England boiled dinner. I don't like my cabbage cooked in the broth, though. While I rest the meat, I roast the cabbage.

Ice Cream !!!, seriously a nice stew in a crock pot.

[CliffsDiscus]

Ox tail stew over rice for dinner and Hawaiian sweet bread French toast for breakfast.!

Not sure how a vegemite sandwich is fancy ole matey...sludge turned into paste from the bottom of a beer vat...fannnnncccyyyyyyy!! :D

Well, I've heard the term but never the ingredients, lol...

Is vegemite the same as marmite? I use marmite as a seasoning. It's a great umami booster. I can't imagine caring to have it on a sandwich. I'd be quite good for you, too.

They are similar Liz.. marmite is british.. vegemite is australian... both are yeast byproducts and high in protein and vit.B. its also kind of salty.

.. After trying them both I can honestly say I will stick to peanut butter! I just could not acquire the taste. I can see using it in some dishes though

Very similar Liz. As Al mentioned, more than a little salty though. Great on toast with fresh tomato &/or avocado, no salt needed just little coarse cracked pepper! Definitely an acquired taste. If it spread too thick it will be a very unpleasant experience :p

Actually, if you take just a little bit on the knife, wipe it off on a paper towel, and then spread the knife over the toast it's even better. :D

Told my son about it Scott and he decided to make it as a surprise.. of course at 20 he made it his way.. diced not sliced. Still it was tasty!
