To ask you to share your comfort foods with me?

[lalala2]

I get horrendous pms and it's just kicked in today , feeling really blue, sluggish and crampy. The ONLY thing I'm looking forward to is a little munch and the telly this evening when DD has gone to bed!

I know exercise and healthy diet would probably be much more beneficial for my mood and pain but please, share with me your favourite comfort foods for this time of month!

Warm baguette stuffed with warm Camembert !

Icecream is my go to food for PMS, that and sometimes popcorn and french friends.

Surprised we mostly want the same things

I want cheese, crisps, nuts, avocados...

I forgot to mention cheese!
Cheese toasty,
shepherds pie smothered in cheese and grilled,
On a nigh shift I often crave a slab of cheddar But never remember to take any!

Cheese is the ultimate comfort food I think. Anyone who loves a really cheesy macaroni has to try Lorraine Pascals glam mac and cheese - it is amazing :)

Jacket potato with the soft part scooped out, mashed up with cream cheese and chives, put back in the skins and then topped with grated cheese and put under a hot grill until crispy and bubbling.

Some form of pasta bake topped with lots of crispy, melted cheese (can you see a theme yet? )

Trifle

Cheesecake

Bacon sarnies

Basically, lots of saturated fat and salt/sugar!

Its the only time I eat crap like this, though, so I reckon once or twice a month isnt that bad.

Honey, I always try to take a few bits of cheese with me for a night shift, I have hummus & carrots and some cheese, basically a mumsnet lunchbox!, the cheese goes all soft as I don't put it in the fridge. The best bit of a nightshift is the 2am cheese!!

Similar to previous replies, mash, macaroni cheese, also spaghetti with lentil & tomato sauce & lots of cheese on top, etc.

Period comfort food though is often a cup of hot chocolate with a teaspoonful of cinnamon stirred in. Heard that cinnamon is supposed to be an emmenagogue & tried it, actually seems to help (or maybe I just like cinnamon).

sausage and mash with brown sauce
chocolate cake with custard

Darn it. I am craving them now!

Oh, also love savoy cabbage (or any dark green leafy stuff tbh) stir fried with ginger, spring onions, garlic and lots of soy sauce, with white rice.

Salt & pepper deep fried tofu.

Any kind of leafy green, steamed and drenched in butter.

Just didn't think of it due to all the replies talking about cheese!

macaroni cheese
risotto with cream and lots of parmesan
mash with gravy

Sweetcorn eaten straight from the tin, or just hardboiled eggs, cut in half and smothered in mayonnaise and cayenne pepper.

Fish pie.

Jacket potato with cheese and beans

Digestive biscuits

Egg mayo sarnie or white toast with loads of butter and bovril

Marmite on toast
Fish finger sandwiches

Also peanut butter on toast

germgirl I'm gonna start remembering to take some cheese and crackers on a night shift! that would go down a treat! For some reason I only ever want to eat crap on a night shift, salad and fruit just doesn't cut it!

Cream of tomato soup with a cheese toastie...mmmmm

Giant Yorkshire pudding (homemade NOT aunt Bessie's!) filled with chips and gravy!! Yum yum yum!!!

Tartiflette.

If that sounds a bit affected - it's basically potato slices, chopped onion, garlic, BACON and soft french cheese chucked in a dish with cream poured all over the top and baked for 10 mins! Heavenly.

Corned beef hash and beans.

Mmmmm. I never get to have it because DP hates it. Whenever I go to my mums on my own I demand it

Spaghetti hoops with mini sausages or cream of tomato soup with thick, buttered white toast.

Cheese & Broccoli 'pasta & sauce' with added broccoli, red pepper, leeks, mushrooms & bacon topped with grated mature cheddar.

Rarely eat pasta otherwise

choc fudge cake melted in microwave for 20 secs with Cornish ice cream

or pizza
or crisps
or chips with mayo
or cheese quiche
etc etc
