Comfort Food

Shepherds pie and banana and custard for me.
Hope you continue to recover from your surgery.

Tomato soup first choice or bacon and cheese sandwich and if they’re not available I’ll settle for a fish finger sandwich smothered in salad cream 😊

Really cheesy macaroni cheese. home made spaghetti Bolognaise

Yesterday's wet weather was depressing so I used a freebie Bramley apple to make a huge apple dumpling in a toffee sauce. It cheered me up no end!

My mum's scotch broth. I have never been able to replicate the flavour.

Bread and butter pudding and rice pudding as well - but not together!

Fish pie. I could eat it seven days a week. And ham hock and lentil soup.

I boil two eggs, halve them, cover them with cheese sauce and then mashed potato. I then top it with sliced tomatoes and heat through in the oven. My mum used to make it as it is also very frugal.

Home made soups my beefy onion soup lentil and bacon soup or tomato and rice soup. Homemade Scouse a (stew) to those who don’t know it the same as my mum made it with a thick pastry lid on it.

Pasta with just plenty of grated cheese.
Cheese on toast with lots of Worcester Sauce

Many years ago when I was pregnant (the baby is now 52) I had an upset stomach and when I was feeling better my mother-in-law made me fish in parsley sauce, mash potato and peas. To this day nothing has ever tasted better!

That sounds lovely!

Cuppy egg with soldiers.

Tomato sandwiches made with - dare I say it - crusty white bread. Oh and real butter.

Always macaroni cheese, my absolute favourite meal.
I haven’t had it for ages as I’m trying to lower my cholesterol, but I shall very much miss it in the winter months.

I am post op too WWM - a week ahead of you,
but when my appetite returned it was baked jacket Potato + grated Cheddar cheese that I craved,
and juicy melon and grapes in a dish.
Keep recuperating slowly. 💐

I'm glad you are fine after surgery.
My comfort food has always been bread and milk. White bread is best for this. Break it into pieces and cover it with hot milk and sugar. I love it.

Henetha!
This was my mothers thing…….never heard of it any other time.
She was Scottish and I wondered if this was from there?

Good to hear that you ate feeling better WWM - I enjoy your posts. I'm with the anything- in- cheesy- sauce group. I'd probably eat shredded birch bark if it was covered in cheese sauce.

Oh and I hate rice pudding: the work.of the devil.

Oooh bread and milk with sugar and butter.

heinz tomato soup with cheese on toast
I love a hot sausage on crusty cob with red sauce too

I hope you feel better soon too x

henetha. You’ve just reminded me about bread and milk, my grandad used to call them pogs he was from Yorkshire. My mum makes cheese and onion in milk and loves it.
