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?

Chips and gravy I know I've lowered the tone, was feeling rubbish last week made myself a portion hit the spot nicely.

Poached eggs on hot buttered toast with salt and pepper

summerlovingvibes · 27/03/2023 15:30

A good old macaroni cheese.

bellsbuss · 27/03/2023 15:31

Fish ginger sandwich with butter, mayo and rocket and a packet of crisps

finalwhistle · 27/03/2023 15:33

Can't beat a chip butty...especially if it's chip shop chips on crusty white bread n butter.
Beans on toast is always good...
Jacket potato with butter and cheese
A good slice of cake, especially carrot or red velvet!

Thick sliced tiger bread with obscene amounts of lurpak on it. Even better with Heinz tomato soup or beans.
This thread has made me feel absolutely starving

Sausage and mash. Good sausages from the butchers with proper gravy.

Eggy bread with either brown and red sauce or maple syrup.

A crisp sandwich. Ideally, cheap white bread and frazzles. Failing frazzles maybe prawn cocktail crisps.

Wishihadanalgorithm · 27/03/2023 16:52

Or, if I fancy something sweet. Proper French bread, good salted butter and proper jam, either raspberry or black cherry.

TheDogsMother · 27/03/2023 16:54

Another one for fish finger sandwich, rocket and tartare sauce. The bread doesn't need to be too fancy.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 27/03/2023 16:55

soft boiled eggs with toast soldiers, washed down with a cup of tea.

VulpesVixen · 27/03/2023 16:57

It has to be mac and cheese with crushed crisps and grated cheese on top and a sprinkling of paprika, under the grill until crunchy.

Hits.
The.
Spot.

Porridge! With lots of added seeds and some dried cranberries. Absolute comfort food for me 😋

Itstillgoeson · 27/03/2023 17:00

Baked potato, butter, grated cheddar, Heinz baked beans and sweetcorn.

mangomelba · 27/03/2023 19:20

Baked potato with lots of melted cheese and chopped spring onion.

As a broke student I discovered banana sandwiches - chopped banana on white bread with lots of butter. Sounds vile but it's actually beautiful!😋

Frazzledmum12 · 27/03/2023 19:25

chilli pesto pasta
warm french bread with real butter
thick casserole with dumplings and mash

When I am not well or sad, it's always one of those 3 things I need to make me feel better.

Vicliz24 · 27/03/2023 19:30

Cheese on toast .

jelly79 · 27/03/2023 23:06

7:30pm chocolate bar when the house is quiet
Tinned tomato soup when I've been sick (once every 19 years)
Grilled cheese on toast
Mums roast dinner. Red wine and pudding - the day calories don't count.

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 😋

Chicken curry is the best potato filler. Inspired tomorrows tea! Thank you x

GymNewbie · 27/03/2023 23:07

Chip butty
Crisp butty
Pizza

Basically carbs!

Pestispeeved · 27/03/2023 23:11

Broccoli cooked in a gochujang and soy marinade. If you crave carbs just add sticky rice.

A banana sandwich is good of the Gods, add a sprinkle of cinnamon to be posh.

Yes to the eggs and soldiers but no to the tea. 🤮

Surely2023IsTheYearForMyRainbowBaby · 27/03/2023 23:34

Cheesy mash with tomato ketchup

Rebel2 · 27/03/2023 23:34

A really weird one but I love egg mayo on marmite rice cakes
My boss is Hmm as I do a little happy dance when I eat them Blush

Also a good cup of tea with a cream cake
