What would you say is your favorite comfort food and why? When do you usually want it when you are happy or sad?

My comfort foods are those that make you gain five pounds almost instantly if you eat too much. 

Chocolate and cherry Dr. Pepper.

Beef, in its many and varied forms.

Today I'm heading out for steak tips.

Maybe this weekend I'll make some Shepherd's Pie.

WITH the Guinness, of course.

My MOST favorite comfort food is Grits, with salt, pepper, butter and an egg or two stirred in (one has to be quick so the egg doesn't cook  like scrambled eggs). Other than that, it has to be hash brown potatoes.

Chicken and homemade noodles or potato cheese soup.


Chocolate is not a comfort food for me. It forms the base of my food pyramid. I must eat some every day to survive.  :-)

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Fried chicken and ice cream (not at the same time).

Ben and Jerry's Boston Cream Pie is tasty.

Oh yeah...that too!  :hi5:

To me, "winter" food is all about comfort. I cook considerably different in winter than in the summer.

I usually take some of the leftover mac and cheese and toss it in with a can of chili the next day for lunch, especially during colder weather.

Chicken shredded with homemade egg noodles (I also use Reames brand frozen egg noodles) in chicken broth (it thickens from the flour on the noodles and also cookes down by leaving the lid off (it's thicker than chicken noodle soup but not thick like gravy). Then you serve it over mashed potatoes. Salt and pepper....OMG I could eat it everyday. My great grandma used to make a ton of egg noodles, freeze them and when we visited she would gives us a bunch when we came. My mom started making them then I did after I got married. We have gotten lazy in the last few years and both bought the frozen kind in the store. I haven't been able to find them here though.  Homemade are a lot better. If anyone wants the recipe for my grandmas egg noodles let me know, they are a bit labor intensive but not hard at all.

My grandma always makes Tomato soup using milk instead of water.  Definite comfort food with a grilled cheese sandwich.

That's the same way I make it, and over the mashed potatoes too!!! Must be a Nebraska thing...  :hi5:

I make the egg noodles from scratch too, didn't know I could buy them frozen.

No, just English and Scot.

M is 100% on both sides, though. Both of his grandmothers learned German as a first language, then learned English.

My stepmother's family was 100% Danish from Council Bluffs. Her mother came over in 1921, in her early 20's. She learned English after she got to Iowa.

I ask because my mom's side of the family is 100% German (so is my husband) and her grandma said that she ate it as a child as well. I figured it was a German thing. I love carbs.    :p

I'm German, Danish, Swedish  and Irish (what my grandma called black Irish, I don't even know what that is).  Guess I should look that up. My dad looks like he has Indian (american) in him but my grandma would never admit it. I also think we have a some Asian in the woodpile somewhere. My paternal great grandma's (my dads mom's mom) eyes had a very Asian look. My brother (the one who died), as well as me and two of my kids have similar eyes. My two kids more so than me. My disease is an auto immune disease that mainly affects women of Asian descent.  Another race my grandma would never admit if it were true. My paternal grandpa looked very Swiss/Danish, he was quite handsome.
