What is your favorite comfort food for me extra cheesy Mac and cheese
-
The spousal unit likes that extra cheesy macaroni and cheese stuff, too. It's too much for me to eat more than a little of it, though.
I have two:
Popcorn with melted butter, sprinkled with nutritional yeast.
Saltine crackers with mayonnaise sprinkled with cayenne pepper.
-
a tuna sandwich, with french onions sprinkled in the mix, with nature seasonings and mayo, on a onion roll, with lettuce... :drool:
and ice cream
-
grilled cheese sandwich covered with creamed chipped beef.
-
Fried chicken or chicken fried stead with mashed potatoes and gravy
-
Grilled cheese with tomato and bacon

The creamed chipped beef on a grilled cheese sandwitch is something I have got to try.
Best comfort food in my life is condensed tomato soup made with half and half, a grilled cheese sandwitch and potato chips.
Winter time, a big bowl of corn chowder and Oyster Crackers.
Summer time, a Pasta salad with every vegetable one can think of and lots of ice cold lemonaid.

Summer: a warm tomato (straight from the yard) sandwich on rye with mayo, corn on the cob and the cold pasta salad that I make. Bacon cheeseburgers from the charcoal grill. Creamsicles . . . and regular fruit popsicles too.
Winter: NE Clam Chowdah with OTC crackers smashed into it. Meatloaf and garlic mashed potatoes. Warm loaf of fresh bread -- French, Italian, sourdough, etc.
Probably more but I'm currently eating lunch which is half of a garlic bread cheesesteak -- TO DIE FOR! :drool:

The sandwitch of peanut butter and a couple thin pickle slice.
Some of the poorer kids came to school with ketchup sandwitches and an apple. I had school lunch that was so bad at times I envied the kids with the Ketchup sandwitches.

I would like to see "comfort food" defined. I have an idea what it is, but I think a lot of peoples ideas about what is comfort food is varied.

My definition: Food that helps me feel better when my arthritis is acting up.
Of course, that includes bourbon!

Comfort food is something(to me anyway) that brings back positive childhood memories.

Comfort food is something that always tastes good.

Wow ! 4 Great definitions of "comfort food" right in a row ! Fantastic !

I admit, I did develop arthritis in a couple of new joints after indulging a bit too much :-)

Comfort food is that food that does these things:
1. Provides a rich, inviting texture on which to chew. Believe me, that's important.
2. Yields a wonderfully full feeling in the belly, without being bloated. There's sometimes a fine line between those two.
3. Requires one to loosen the belt, a la Frank Barone.

I agree. It's to help me and mine "feel better" regardless of the cause. It could be potato soup or chili on a cold winter night. Or homemade chicken soup when getting a cold. Or mac and cheese cause it's been a bad day.
FYI.... chocolate is NOT a comfort food. Chocolate is a NECESSITY for life. :-)

T'anks! I love that movie. When I was a projectionist I showed it and turned up the auditorium volume at special times. Quite a cast, too: Burl Ives, Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck, Jeanne Simmons, Carroll Baker, Chuck Connors, Charles Bickford, Roddy McDowall, etal.

A veritable who's who ! My wife by the way was a big fan of the "Rifleman" when she was growing up, now that you mention him.

I think Lucas McCain on the Rifleman was the only nice guy part Kevin Joseph Charles Aloysius Connors ever played. All the other times I've seen him he was a mean, dirty, low-down bastid.
