Food that just hits the spot.

I've been feeling under the weather and off my food, today I really fancied some french onion soup. I just made a big pan full and it really hit the spot, like a hug in a mug!

What are your feel-good comfort foods?

Tartiflette 😋

Last week I just needed something filling & comforting, I did chicken Milanese with harissa tomato sauce, spaghetti and mozzarella. It was so so good and definitely hit the spot

Spaghetti bolognese

Jellycatspyjamas · 26/03/2023 18:20

@areweonabreak that sounds bloody lovely, I’m going to make that in my next child free night.

Mash and salad cream

Jacket potato with loads of butter, grated Cheddar and salt and black pepper. Just waiting for mine to cook as also feeling under the weather...

  • Chicken congee
  • Vegemite sandwiches made with lots of butter and soft white 'kids' bread, crusts off
  • A bill of yorkshire puddings and gravy

I do myself a big bowl of miso/peanut butter/chilli noodles. There’s no recipe, I just throw stuff together till it tastes right. I add some veg, and an egg on top sometimes. It is just so comforting.

Woahtherehoney · 26/03/2023 18:27

Homemade Lasagne and garlic bread, or if I’m not feeling well and need the ultimate comfort food it’s cheese on toast 😍 hits the spot every time.

adhdpunchbag · 26/03/2023 18:32

I've just sat and polished off a tub of hummus with a bowl of French fries. It went down well...

GiltEdges · 26/03/2023 18:33

Aubergine parmigiana. It's my go-to when I need something comforting to eat.

Gymnopedie · 26/03/2023 18:35

Chip butty. Plastic white bread, lots of butter, chips crispy on the outside soft inside, salt, a bit of vinegar. With or without mayo/salad cream.

Appleass · 26/03/2023 18:35

Heinz tomato soup, no other will suffice, and fresh bread and lurpak

Lilly11a · 26/03/2023 18:42

We also have home made lasagne and garlic bread, with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for dessert

Ladybyrd · 26/03/2023 18:43

Homemade chicken and pasta soup with onions, garlic, carrots and celery.

Twospaniels · 26/03/2023 18:45

Baked potato with butter, baked beans and grated cheese on top.

The other night husband was making chinese chicken curry which I haven’t been able to stand since I was pregnant 29 years ago! Can’t abide the smell since then, yet before that I ate it with no problems 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, he had the curry and I had a baked potato - it was 😋

DelilahJane · 26/03/2023 19:07

Irish stew

PatterdalePatty · 26/03/2023 19:08

Mouth is watering. Crumpets and butter with honey or peanut butter are mostly satisfying.

GrouchyKiwi · 26/03/2023 19:10

Baked potato and casserole is my ultimate comfort food, followed closely by macaroni cheese.

We had baked potatoes with leftover kleftiko for dinner tonight and it was exactly what I needed.

mumda · 26/03/2023 19:40

Really buttery marmite on toast.

Or
Peanut butter jam and banana sandwich.

@ frozendaisy ·
Mash and salad cream

And me! I was reading a beauty book and the authoress said when she wasn't feeling good she would have mashed potatoes and camomile tea. I have this but embellish the mash with salad cream.

Has to be packet cos I am lazy and has to be the Idaho packet not smash!

Zola1 · 27/03/2023 15:14

Oh, pasta bake with garlic bread. Or lasagne.

xogossipgirlxo · 27/03/2023 15:20
