favourite winter comfort food?

[teaandtoast49]

after a long, stressful cold day what is your ultimate fav comforting food? mine has to be milky coffee with seeded white lightly toasted bread smothered in melted flora ... your suggestions?

Spag Bol

Mushroom stew with mustard mash or an extremely hot vegetable curry with naan.

Lamb shank and mash.

Used to be corned beef hash but don't eat meat now. Miss my hash in a giant Yorkshire pud.

[quote LadyJaye]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.

I am so making this this week

Flora? Yuk. It used to be horrible. Now it's disgusting!

Butter all the way. With crumpets obvs.

Risotto with lots of parmesan stirred in

Cheesy mashed potato but diced chorizo stirred through it.

with, not but!

Pasta bake & garlic bread
Any sort of crumble or bread & butter pudding with custard
Bottle of red

Veggie sausages, colcannon and Delia's spiced red cabbage

@OwlMother not everyone can eat butter

Either ribollita, fondue or a chicken and veg homemade coconut curry with naans and saag aloo.
I also like HFW 5 root soup for comfort food.

Oh how could I forget risotto! Preferably with butternut squash, spinach, toasted pine nuts and crispy bacon plus a ton of parmesan or pecorino. Or risotto milanese with ossobuco mmmmmm

Toast is your comfort food? And not even with proper butter? I mean... I like buttered toast, but it's hardly indulgent.

My best winter comfort food would be something like steak and ale pie, sausage and mash or sticky toffee pudding and custard.

Flora = YABU

Margarine would not feature!

Mine would be bacon ribs and white cabbage or a good stew, casserole with dumplings, steak and kidney pudding or roast dinner - followed by a crumble or steamed pud with cream or custard.

Curry goat like a previous poster with rice and peas plantain and a salt fish dumpling

Either super cheesy mac and cheese, or sausage, mash, Yorkshire pudding, broccoli, peas and gravy! With thick crusty white bread to dip in the gravy

Hot buttered toast is just so comforting though....but hot buttered crumpets are better.

Anything with custard

What I call "winter stew." A beef based stew with onions, garlic, parsnips, turnip, yam, potatoes, and carrots. My Mom taught me to use allspice berries in stews (swedish heritage). I also use bay leaves and lots of pepper. I like to mash the vegetables into the yummy gravy it makes when I eat it.

Even better with some home made cornbread or buttermilk biscuits. Or use sourdough discard in place of buttermilk.

It is now in the category of quick meals as I use an Instant Pot. A fair bit of peeling and chopping as it is heavy on the vegetables but very warm and comforting on a dark and stormy night.

Rice pudding

Beef stew with kidney & scotch broth soup

Hot Christmas pudding with cold single cream.
