Favourite Comfort Food

Love porridge and sometimes add a chopped banana.

Am I the only Gransnetter with diabetes?

it would be surprising daisy. Come on you lurkers please emerge, We know you are there.

Scrambled eggs every time.

My sister has Diabetes daisy

My favourite comfort food All depends what mood I am in really.

I think I need to bump this. The weather definitely justifies a bit of comfort food this weekend.

A bowl of hot, crunchy chips with lots of some salt, every time!

I have read all through this thread to see how many people had Marmite toast as their favourite comfort food. There was one and that was me! Only one other person mentioned Marmite--amazing!!

Love marmite but prefer it in a sandwich. Preferably with soft white bread. [mmmmmmm!]

Treacle (golden syrup) pudding!

Toast and Marmite . Toast buttered warm not too well done and the Marmite just soaking in. Well yeast extract I find an own brand pretty tasty. I could just eat some now but I am waiting for my bone repairing tablet to go down before I can eat owt.

OMG! You've reminded me! I forgot to take my anti-acid pill. And now I've had my breakfast. #sod

I've just discovered that I didn't take my steroid with my breakfast - so that's an excuse to have another .

I'm diabetic,I like any whole grain porridge,chicken pot pie,ground beef chili with black beans,veggie pizza. Never acquired a taste for lamb having never been given it growing up.Love banana bread!

Came home yesterday after being snowed in and unable to get home on Friday and had a big bowl of porridge, wonderful

Toasted teacake/fruit loaf dripping with butter and a .....mmm

I concur, Ella but at this time of year, I'd substitute a hot cross bun for the teacake. I don't approve of eating them all year round. Some things should be seasonal - like mince pies.

Oooo yes Anno, I'd forgotton I've got some in the 'frig!!! goes off to get the butter

It varies, but at the mo' warm welsh cakes and a mug(china of course) of tea.

I am about to have it- crumpets with strawberry jam and a cup of tea.

daisy I was diabetic and my comfort food was a pork pie and a Mars Bar….not at the same time. Now I have reversed it I enjoy 2 squares of dark chocolate or a piece of strong cheese.

Well actually, if we're talking savoury comfort food, then it's the stuff of my childhood: pea soup made with a ham shank, anything with lentils, lamb stew with pearl barley, home made mushroom soup, herring/cod roe on toast, potato hash with a suet crust pastry top. [drooling emoticon]
(Son has just departed for the local takeaway, to return with a biriyani and korma sauce because I can't be bothered to cook tonight as there are only two of us in the house.) Yummy!

You must have lived in the same house as me grannyactivist .

In fact tomorrow I shall have some scrag end of lamb with pearl barley slowly simmering away in the slow cooker. When I was a small child, I would ask my Mum if we could have "meat on bones". To this day it remains meat on bones in this house.
