Ruffian, I grew up on pancakes with peanut butter and syrup! I didn’t know that there was any other way to eat pancakes until the first time I ordered them in a restaurant. And I love peanut butter and syrup sopped up with a couple of hot buttered biscuits. Yum yum!  
I would also add to my comfort food list:

Brownies  
Chicken and dumplings  
Homemade banana pudding with vanilla wafers and banana chunks  
Blue Bell ice cream (pretty much any flavor)  
Fried ham steak sandwich on toast with tomato, lettuce, onion and mayo  
Hot apple cider

> Zenster sez: Mexican food rules! I don’t know how I left the humble taco off of my list. They are one of my favorite foods. Through gritting teeth Mexican women have told me that my tacos and salsas are better that theirs. If I please, I will even eat Taco Bell tacos for fun. My record is 20 at one sitting (20 years ago when I was skinny).

> Zenster sez: Hated cheese when I was a kid. Only Monterey Jack or Danish Tybo for me. Guess it had to do with the problem of having a food smell like over-ripe body parts. Love cheese now, blue, Cambozolla, Stilton, Dry Jack, Feta, what would I do without them? I’ve even been eyeing the Limburger lately, for a hard kinda spike fix.
