What's your comfort food?

[lilstarry1]

Just a light hearted thread at lunch time...

Mine depends on the time of year, at the moment it's definitely strawberries ('proper' ones, not the imported kind that have no flavour).

I also LOVE our home made bread and a cup of decaff tea in the morning.

And obviously Ice cream (Ben and Jerry's rules supreme in this house!)

Cold, Ambrosia rice pudding. (out of tin

tortilla chips with chillis and cheese

peanut butter and rasp jam sandwiches

Ice lollies

Colcannon is mashed potato with butter and cabbage - totally yummy!

I crave pasta with pesto and chillies, plus either some prawns or bacon...with parmesan on the bacon. Delicious! Several million calories though, if you eat enough of it

Smoked salmon! Mmmmmmmm...

Mashed potato with cheese on top.

Sainsburys do a truely gorge colcannon made with cream!

Actually the reason I love parathas so much is because they put me in mind of something very similar I used to eat in Morocco but never found out the real name of - dough rolled out, buttered, folded over, rolled again, buttered again etc (like puff pastry), then fried, but always translated into English as 'pancakes'.
Anyone know what they're really called?

This thread has made me well and truly hungry :) I've also learnt a little about food..

Hmmm Moroccan food, can't help you identify what the pastry was, but have very fond memories of sweet pasta and lamb meatballs, all home-made by my best friends Moroccan mum when I was little.

Fab!

Hi, when I'm feeling fed up there isn't any food in particular I reach for, it really could be anything as long as it isn't good for you like chocolate or chips, and to make matters worse I'm going to a slimming club at the moment, which started well but now isn't going so well. Oh well.

chunks of marzipan dipped into melted chocolate...mmmmm

It has to be Ben and Jerry's ice cream - any flavour!

chips with cheese and gravy on them:)

mashed potato
cauliflower cheese
a really good hot chocolate

a bit of fish, dredged in flour and pan fried in butter

then on top of M and S mash and M and S cabbage in white sauce

important NOT to make the mash and cabbage yourself or else no longer comfort food

chips and gravy (showing northern upbringing)

pudding, chips, peas and gravy

God I'm RAVENOUS now and it's only 10.11am!!!

m&s melting middle chocolate puddings
scones with lots of cream and strawberry jam
thick white bread toasted with lots of butter
spaghetti carbonara (sooooo bad for me!)
croissants

i'm seeing a carb and butter obsession starting here

off to get a hote chocolate and croissant now I'm so hungry reading all these posts!

Definitely Chocolate! I too love Cadbury fruit and nut bars, and Mars bars with almonds (-why can't you get them in this country?!)

...but also the giant scones with clotted cream and jam they have at The Orchard in Cambridge.

...and my mother-in-laws steamed pudding drenched in golden syrup!

Are the M & S melted chocolate puddings good then? - we have some in the freezer to try but we're eating our way through a tonne of Easter eggs first! :)

Chocolate - is there anything else????

Chocolate (namely ds's easter eggs)
White bread rolls an dlashings of butter
Mashed potato

In the spirit of all things comfort food, I made rice pudding tonight. It was rather delicious, nice and thick too..

Mmm good :)

Raisin Toast
Vimto
Macaroni Cheese
Sausage and Mash
Rice Pudding
Scones with blackcurrant jam
Trifle

Mrs Badger there is no english word for paratha as it is a typical asian food. I make mine with margarine and olive oil on top so they are not too fatening. Well traditionally it is made with ghee (butter oil.

Fresh crusty bread and nice butter
Chips from the Chinese with curry sauce....
Smoked Haddock, poached egg on mashed pot....
Dhal.....

Comfort food is choclate, I am also a lover of cadburry fruit and nut. If it is not available then any thing sweet can comfort me.
