What's your comfort food?

[Lacessit]

Tonight's offering from my Thai GF. Kaow pat goong. In my paranoid phases, I think she is trying to kill me with a fork.

Are you British? I have this theory there is a secret government agency that removes their taste buds at birth. Strike that. You sound like American. Using the brand name for the mayo is a good clue.

Keep guessing dear boy.

Oh come on. Dear boy brands you as a Brit as surely as the smell in the Underground.

Crumpet anyone?

Real Ham comes from  a smoke house in  Smithfield Virginia or sliced, from Boars Head Meats.

 

Yip, I brought a couple back to Canada, when down for a cousins wedding.  Peppered/smoked/cooked/uncooked...what a treat

I was wondering when a double entendre would rear its head. Prefer mine with honey.

I must confess I've attempted to be the food police on this thread myself, so I can't complain. Or were you harking back to "Last Tango in Paris"?

Extra strong Cheddar cheese.

With Branson Pickle in a doorstep sandwich.

I managed to haul 3 kilo’s of cheese along with Olive oil. Balsamic vinagar, Olives, Salami, Mayonnaise and Cadbury’s chocolate for a 3 month stay.

All my foods are comfort foods !
Why ?  

I am grateful and lucky that I not only have food to eat and that I also have a choice and that my choice has been vegan for 50 of my many years.

Thanks for letting us know.

 

Always tough to spot the vegans in the room, they are usually quite hesitant to provide the rest of us with that information.

 

Glad to see that after 50 years you have overcome that stigma.

Best Ham is from Italy.

Easy enough if you stand near one waving your bacon sarnie around and wafting the aroma in their direction. However I'm grateful for the (to me) new term that I hear being bandied about - "plant-based food". I've often wondered how to characterise beef - cattle being vegetarians - and now I know. Beef is "plant-based food". Formerly I would describe myself as a "passive vegetarian" - like passive smoking, done at one remove - but there's now a new term I can add to my vocabulary

Wow, "comfort foods".  This thread got me thinking/reminiscing/day dreaming.  The grey matter went through a full throttle self interrogation.  I love food, appreciate it, internally debate the experience: the great, the good, the bad the ugly.  I might not order it (again), but I'll eat it.

 

Interesting how resources drastically alter your immediate "comforts".  What's in the fridge, what's available at a local market/grocery store, what restaurants are conveniently accessible.  Back "home", comfort food was a mile high smoked meat with a half sour kosher dill, and a pile of fries (chips), or a massive medium rare rib steak, baked potato smothered in sour creme and chives with a huge Caesar salad.  Simple hamburgers and sausages on the barbecue...safe enough to eat medium rare?   A homemade caesar salad dressing made with a raw egg, fresh garlic, olive oil, an anchovie, etc...and safe to eat.  Wine...(it's a food group yes?)

 

Now, arriving home (LOS) from a project surrounded by beach, for hundreds of miles in all (well, 3.5/4) directions....my kingdom for simple slice of crispy cinnamon chips bacon and a fresh salad that includes some form of lettuce.  Yeah, apparently my comfort foods have temporarily changed.

 

...and I'm extremely thankful for the choices available locally today.  Thankful that someone long ago, tripped over a bucket of rotting fish, and grandpa Somchai's sharp smelling toes, went up the chimney with him.

 

Happy Friday!

 

You are pretty much right with all the daydreaming. It comes to availability of food at the end of the day.

 

I'm always in for a lot of hamburgers, sausages and barbecue. Literary available for this 24/7 and quite sure it'll fill me up.

 

I've also found that banana bread is comfort food to many and I have found a banana bread recipe that does not use eggs and it is just awesome.

 

Just in addition to this, I could eat anything spicy and chilly every day of the week.

 

[Orton Rd]

Only girls eat comfort food, usually chocolate or something else that makes them fat.

[KC 71]

Shepherds Pie

[tutsiwarrior]

I've found a new comfort food...miso soup...miso paste comes in a plastic bag from makro, simply dissolve a heaping table spoon or so in hot water from the kettle and stir a bit and et viola soup in 5mins....very comforting sorta like chicken noodle soup...garnish anyway you want, I eat it plain, I've always been a big fan of japanese food...

Gummy bears that are heavily infused with THC and CBD. There's nothing that can make be more comfortable than those.

Agree. I thought it came on a leg, with a bone in the middle. Real ham is pink. Never heard of a pig with square legs. It looks more like badly designed beer coasters.

[james.d]

Baked beans on spring onion crisps (potato chips for our American friends) with a slice of bread and Lurpak.

[tifino]

I take comfort in Pomelos,

not just the eating, but the quiet half hour that I reserve, per fruit , to do a full-on filleting job on them...

 

wife knows to leave me alone during that rare period of solace...

(what that interprets to in reality; is that no Thai I know can handle with the patience, to sit and watch me do it!)  

 

likewise my look of shock back at the Thai gigyat way of attacking the poor things chop chop chop, with a cleaver 

 

the proof is in the pudding, in that our Monk looks forward to my version of Pomelo serves; in the same sense as our cockatiel barrages your hands out of the way for her new dish of favourite sunflower seed
