Toad in the hole with cabbage & bacon with ALL the gravy. Or sticky toffee pudding and lots of sauce if in need of something sweet.

My current favourite, is left over potato mash, with left over roasted veges, with red onion and well seasoned, formed into patties, and fried in butter, with a poached egg and tomato sauce. . . lockdown perk for lunch!

Chocolate sponge with chocolate custard (with a skin!).

Nice homemade celery soup, my grandma's recipe with toast and loads of butter and a bit of cheese melted in.

Or a baked camembert with crusty bread and mustard baked sausages.

Yum!

Basically anything with butter and cheese.

I lived in Seoul for several years, and my absolute favourite cold weather comfort food is tteokbokki - spicy carbs ftw!

This is a really good recipe - fresh/frozen tteok are quite readily available from most Asian supermarkets or even online.

Toasted crumpets with lemon curd (no butter), and a nice coffee.

FangsForTheMemory · 29/11/2020 18:00

Lashings of hot tea and cake.

OrigamiPenguinArmy · 29/11/2020 18:01

Beef stew with crusty bread and butter, which I’ve just had for dinner.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 29/11/2020 18:03

Chicken and bacon soup with crusty bread. Hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. Cottage pie with melted cheese on top.

CoffeeandCroissant · 29/11/2020 18:44

Flora?! Hell no, butter all the way.

OwlMother · 29/11/2020 18:46

@gobbynorthernbird

My favourite anything would never include Flora.

I love any kind of beef stew, curry goat, or a cauliflower cheese.

The Flora thing upset me too- butter surely?
VicMackey · 29/11/2020 18:49

My home made veggie cottage pie and Brussels sprouts - with proper maldon sea salt butter on them
Thread making me hungry ....🐷

A nice hearty chicken and wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 29/11/2020 18:50

Really slow cooked beef stew with lots of veg and jacket potato with lots of butter (no dumplings, don't like those).
Am just about to make a pot of red cabbage.
Bread and butter pudding.

And looking forward to the pub next door to the office reopening on Wednesday - superb vegetarian breakfast with halloumi, great for lunch.

FredtheFerret · 29/11/2020 18:51

Dumplings
Crumble and custard.
