Actually my favorite comfort food isn't on the list -- it would be a toss up between cottage cheese and chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIsn't chocolate consider as a comfort food? I would have for that.
ReplyDeleteMine is semolina pudding (with raisins!). Hot with a bar of chocolate in the middle or cold with raspberry sauce on top.
ReplyDeleteThis used to be something I made quite often with my dad when I was a little child. I still especially enjoy it hot on a cold winter's night (with a chocolate bar! Without it's just not the same *g*). :)
Not surprised that mac and cheese tops the list. Nothing like it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite comfort food is a pasta dish that I make with sausage and mascarpone cheese sauce. I could eat it all day!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Korea, my inlaws mailed me a bunch of boxes of Mac and Cheese. Yum!
ReplyDeleteNot on list - chocolate.
ReplyDelete@chocolate lovers: when i think of "comfort foods", i think about foods your mom would make for you, foods that take you back to childhood and are... comforting. i know a lot of people turn to chocolate when they're stressed, but i don't know very many mothers who make their own chocolate! maybe i'll include it in a future poll, though, so check back every monday :)
ReplyDeletechili, hands down.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, chicken pot pie. I dream of it when I'm down, or up, or in between.
ReplyDeleteI chose pie but another comfort food for me is cheesy mashed potatoes with baked beans! And congee as well but I don't make that alot.
ReplyDeleteMashed potatoes for me. Recently (I wish I could remember where) I read a tip to boil whole garlic cloves with the potatoes. This softens them considerably and allows you to mash them in with the rest of the ingredients. Took a little experimenting with the right amount of cloves (you need more than you would think) but the flavor is simply amazing!
ReplyDelete@Austin Epicurean: garlic mashed potatoes are soo good! this sounds like a great way to make them - what's your garlic-to-potato ratio?
