I love cheese as long as not ruined by fruit.

I love an old fashioned hot pudding - treacle sponge, spotted dick, rice pudding, made with whole milk, butter and freshly grated nutmeg, apple pie or fruit crumble with custard, Trifle (no sherry) Egg custard, Bakewell tart etc etc the list is endless.

Am drooling just reading about it.

Have never had pork ( not a religious thing) but that soup sounds tasty.

Homemade pea soup made with a ham shank, dried green peas, pearl barely, carrots, celery and onions. I would obviously need some crusty white bread to dunk. Failing that, egg and chips with bread and butter.

Sounds good to me 👍🏻

Sashimi ..

Prawn Curry ..

Home made quiche with fresh spinach or broccoli ..

Seafood Paella for two ..

Enjoyable comfort foods we truly enjoy are:

An international cheese platter with a variety of crackers & bakery breads ..

Dips: Hummus / Taramasalata / Guacamole /

Mexican: Fajitas / Burritos

At this time of the year I would say my go to comfort food is garlic bread and pepperoni pizza. Also home made toad-in-the-hole. The occasional egg and bacon butty goes down well too, but that's not something I have often.

None are particularly healthy but they're for pleasure on a cold winter's day.

What I had the other day, very quick-cook pasta, just with a lot of grated cheese. 😋

Really ancient zombie thread 🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️

Cheese on toast. Good strong farm cheddar and white bread made properly (flour, yeast and a littlel salt/fat, NOTHING ELSE) by an artisan baker (not sourdough)

deep sherry trifle and lots of it

Daughter 2 favours red wine goulash. Winter comfort food.

Quite easy, warms the kitchen well.

Gorgeous NYTimes Curry.

Tofu and Sweet Potato Peanut Butter Curry

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 yellow onion finely diced, 4 garlic cloves finely chopped, 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger peeled and finely chopped, 1 tablespoon curry powder, ½ to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, 1 ½ pounds sweet potato peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks, 2-3 cup water, ½ cup smooth peanut butter stirred well, 1 (13-ounce) can coconut milk, 1 (14- to 16-ounce) package extra-firm tofu drained and cut into 1-inch pieces, 4 teaspoons soy sauce, Salt and pepper

Cooked rice, to serve

Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy pot on medium-high. Add the oil and onion and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder and crushed red pepper, and stir until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add the sweet potatoes and stock. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the peanut butter and coconut milk and stir until the peanut butter is melted and well combined.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the tofu, peas and soy sauce, and cook until warmed through and the sauce is thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Serve over rice. Top with cilantro leaves and chopped peanuts, with lime wedges on the side.

Comfort food always strikes a different chord, bringing warmth, memories, and instant satisfaction. Whether it's a home-cooked classic or something picked from the wetherspoons-menu.uk/ menu, these familiar flavors have a special way of brightening up any day.

Harissa baked abergines, tomatoes with chick peas. With pita and tahini sauce.

Our tea tonight is Cornish pasty, peas and thick gravy, followed by chocolate pudding and custard. Very comforting for me reminds me of being home with my mum and dad.

Lasagne, followed by mixed fruit crumble and custard.

Otherwise, steak and chips, onion gravy and veg, followed by mixed chopped fruit and double cream.

I have a secret love of fray bentos pies !!!

and crumpets and jam

We usually have a couple in for those occasional evenings when I just really CBA to cook, or simply feel too tired to bother. One each, just with frozen peas. Perfect!

After my Nightmare Shopping trip the other day, I made myself some pasta (the sort that needs only 5 minutes to cook) and had it just with plenty of grated cheese on top.
Lovely!

On a similar note, dd and 3 x Gdcs are coming for lunch tomorrow, so I’m going to make a macaroni pie - much like macaroni cheese, except that it has added eggs, in order to set firm.
The only faff is, having to grate a whole pound of good strong Cheddar! Otherwise v easy.

Any hot pudding .

Any Italian, French or Spanish dish with native Cheeses.

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.
