What are your comfort foods?

I remember in my early teenage years if my best friend or myself suffered heartbreak, which happened nearly every week, we would decamp to the wall outside the local chippy and both pool our pennies for a portion of chips wrapped in newspaper, teenage tears often flavoured our chips but after we’d finished a local boy or two would have no doubt joined us on the wall - it was a regular teenage hang out - and we would have cheered up no end.

Def salt snd vinegar. Belgians might make great beer snd waffles but MAYO on your chips?

Chips

A bag of chips smothered in salt and vinegar. Just chips. Perfect 🤩

Chips

I think that my GN name tells you all that you need to know about my taste, but I do agree with those mentioning cheesy stuff - I would eat most things topped with melted cheese.
It's interesting, reading this, as a vegetarian, that meat doesn't seem to rate highly as comfort food.
I wonder why?

I am cheap to keep. My favourite since childhood, as I don't like fried or poached eggs, 2 boiled eggs with chips, cooked by my mother but as she has been dead since 1979, hardly likely.

A cup of coffee with a chocolate biscuit or two.

Stinky cheese with real butter on crusty bread. I am eating low carb at the moment so missing proper bread.

My home-made digestive biscuits which contain some shredded dark chocolate, sesame seeds and a few dried cranberries.

Really good dried dates.

I do like a crunchy mature cheddar but not so much as comfort food.
Though if no chocolate or other comfort foods are available I do like Philadelphia cheese spread on lightly charred toast.

A good fish pie;
Bacon lettuce and tomato on a panini roll with lashings of mayo;
A chunk of good cheddar and a crisp apple;
A baked potatoes with tuna and sweetcorn;
Malt loaf.

Cream crackers and strong cheese

Chopped up boiled egg in a cup, salt and pepper, with toast soldiers and butter. Takes me back to childhood.

A bowl of 'lobby', has to be made with mince though and floury old potatoes. My mum's recipe. ❤️

Cheesy garlic bread with a nice Sauvignon Blanc to wash it down. When I can't be bothered to cook this can become an indulgent evening meal.

Thick toast with butter and my orange marmalade morning time with a mug of tea. Thick toast with butter Marmite and bovril with lots of pepper afternoon's but not every day.

Cheese on toast

Fruit bread toast with raspberry jam, chocolate and a good brewed coffee. Not healthy but nice.

Thickly buttered toast with a mug of Bovril, made like I make tea with a splash of milk.

classic winter here
tomato soup wth alittle salsa verde and milk
and a grilled cheese sandwich
after snowball fights

later in life coffee with a short bandy

Have to say, it has just occurred to me, a bowl of cereal is also something I might indulge in at night when I’ve had a bad day, shreddies or honey nut cornflakes.

I forgot to mention in my previous post - fish and chips from the chippy. A rarity though these days.

Forgot about mushy peas I can eat them with anything

Toast with marmalade or lemon curd is my favourite

Cheese and potato pie
Salted plain chocolate
Fish Pie
My daughters home made minestrone soup
Rum and raisin ice cream
Pears nectarines and blueberries

Boiled eggs in a cheese sauce with mashed potato and tomatoes on top baked in the oven

watermeadow

Seeded wholemeal toast, butter and Marmite.
I eat this nearly every day, I need a lot of comforting.

I sincerely hope that you never run out of Marmite, watermeadow your comfort requirements are so
modest - and your post poetic

Melted cheddar cheese with a crunchy golden top eaten with a slice of bread and butter. I’d forgotten and I want some now. Maybe tomorrow.
