Your “go to” comfort food?

Whatever it is don't buy it!

Have to admit that part of the 'comfort' is simplicity of acquisition when I'm poorly and have, in desperation, resorted to tinned Mac cheese. Not as good as my hand knitted version but certainly works when the body seems unwilling. Shocking, eh?!

Cheese and onion crisps. Feet up watching a tv drama.

Home made real chips .....

I prefer Waitrose tomato soup, which incidentally came a clear 1st in a recent blind tasting by 20 top chefs food writers and critics.
As for comfort food...home made semolina or rice pudding (skin on) with a good quality blackcurrant conserve. Also mature cheddar cheese on thickly sliced toast topped with slices of tomato.

As a child, invalid food was Heinz tomato and Ambrosia creamed rice, but trying both recently, found them nothing like I remembered. Reduced salt and sugar maybe?

Comfort food now would be buttery mashed potato with something with gravy or sauce.

Having read all posts so far, I realise that chopped up eggs in a cup, Farleys (original) rusks, buttery mashed potato with a soft boiled egg in the middle, home made mac n cheese (copied from Almazan kitchen on YouTube) and numerous others are ALL my favourites. Can't choose just one ?

My mother's homemade Scotch broth (Strained through a sieve) and crusty bread.

I’m another one for Heinz tomato soup and boiled or scrambled eggs. Mashed potato would be good as well, but if I were feeling really in need of comfort I wouldn’t want the effort of making it.

Marmite on toast
Eggs on toast
A lovely cup of tea to complete the picture.

Toast and marmite here as well but when I was a child I would recover from car sickness with a mug of Oxo and a chunk of dry crusty bread.

Grandma70s You could try frozen mash if in need of emergency comfort food. It's £1 for a bag at Tesco and is what I use when I have a gastritis flare up. Delia Smith did a cookery book using convenience foods and recommended frozen mash! I make a bit of gravy granules gravy to go with mine. It's very soothing.

Chips and fried eggs with ketchup

Mashed potato!!

MOnica, I buy Waitrose steak and kidney puds. Only place I can find them. I so love eating them. Then the suet sets in my stomach and have a food baby for the rest of the night. Doesn’t put me off though! They remind me of childhood and my dear mum.

Scrambled egg on toast my oh calls it my poorly tea .

Tea and Toast always.

GabriellaG mentioned chopped eggs. That is what my mother always made. I called it eggs-in-a-cup. when small. I loved it and didnt know anyone else ever had it or knew about it.

Crusty bread with thick butter

Bang goes Frugal February!!! I know I will have one of the above tomorrow but it has been a great post.

Chopped eggs in a cup!! I thought my mother invented that! I’m having it tomorrow whether I need comforting or not!

Hot lemonade (diet sort these days); white sliced bread with butter (Lurpak) & Bovril spread thickly. .

Just reading the posts late in the day,my ultimate comfort food has to be soft boiled egg and buttery toast soldiers,also tinned peaches and icecream,

Another vote for toast and marmite here!

Eggs done anyway with crusty bread. Heinz tomato soup or chicken soup and toast with jam or honey also raw onions

Another one for egg in a cup!
And yes I thought it was just something my mother did!
