Comfort Foods

I guess for me it is ice cream. I like it ok but I rarely eat it. If it is served as a dessert by someone I will have a few spoons of it. I almost never buy it though.

Guacamole too but while I do like it for some reason it does not like me so I avoid it.

Hah! At last someone who agrees with me.

(I’ll make a slight exception for waffles if they are made with flavorful ingredients like cornmeal, and they are very crunchy. But once you start tinkering with the ingredients, I don’t think they count as comfort food any more.)

Just the idea of tuna melt makes me gag.

I love some pasta, too. Spaghetti and meatballs (my meatballs) I’m all in. Lasagna I wil be there, but stuffed shells don’t do it for me. My daughter loves them all, but would rather another pasta besides spaghetti.

Yes, good mashed potatoes any day of the week! For that matter, I could do good potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I don’t care for them at all.

Agreed

Meatloaf for Christmas, I’d be very disappointed. I do enjoy iit’s something I don’t make a lot and it has to be served with homemade mashed potatoes.

You can have my share of the soup, and please don’t put tomatoes in my nice grilled cheese. :slight_smile:

Not usually a huge fan of either, but will eat them occasionally (throwing some blueberries in there improves the odds).

Pasta is my least favorite when overcooked, most favorite when al dente.

That for some reason makes me think of cheap ramen. Call me crazy, but add an egg and mix it in with some onion and garlic powder, yum!

Have never made it but I’ve thought about it. It sounds delicious.

What I don’t (do not) understand about a “comfort” food is Pie.

My family doesn’t think its dessert without pie. A crust, a filling, a topping. In any configuration.

There’s been long discussions about it and the reason it’s so. Because they do agree they prefer pie to any other dessert.
The consensus (other than my great culinary skills :wink:) is, its comforting. So a “comfort” food.

But I don’t get it. Just don’t understand.

I agree about the desserts, I’d rather have pie, or something other than chocolate. Speaking of comfort food, please peach or apple pie!

I like Shepherds pie, but don’t make it often. I don’t like Italian hoagies at all.

I prefer waffles to pancakes even though the basic ingredients are the same.

Thank you! I always feel like a Martian when everyone starts rhapsodizing about lumps of usually-mass-produced pasta with melted “cheese-like substance” over it.
My kids always wanted the Kraft stuff.

Nowadays, they’ll even order Mac’n’Cheese Pizza!

Thank God I have health and weight loss as an excuse now… I mean, white bread and cheese? How is that doing my body any good?

Now, waffles aren’t much better, but they’re comfort food to me. Ooh, just figured out why! My mom was gone sometimes when we were little, and all my dad could make was waffles, chocolate malts and PB&J. So those are my biggies.

Ice cream ordinarily I’d say yum, but it’s very challenging to find actual ice cream these days,

Agreed, no to tuna melts. Just wrong.

And if it’s not comforting to me, then it’s not a comfort food. So, no, there are no comfort foods that don’t “do it” for me.

But don’t mind me. I’m the guy who considers that the reason breakfast is the most important meal of the day is because if one never breaks one’s fast, one starves to death.
