comfort food?

[Muscateer]

Comfort food mmm big bag of maltesers, big bar of Milky Bar, McDonalds, crisps and dips, any food really and lots of it

When ill and can still eat Stovies with lashings of tomato sauce or macaroni cheese with salad cream

 

[mandymouse]

My comfort foods are chocolate and Pringles

Geeeeeeeeeeee - I could write a book about this lol. Comfort food for me is anything savoury. I'm not a "sweet" person...

But off the top of my head: cold sausages (like karen) especially in soft white bread and with ketchup, any sort of "fast food", pasties, crisps, sausage rolls, sandwiches....

Oh dear...

And when I'm ill...I still eat Anything carby, but not anything too rich in flavour. I think I've only lost my appetite once in the last 5 years?!

This is not good being so close to the dieting thread!!

unsliced white bread with lurpak, cheese and hula hoops, yum!!!

 

[PJB71]

I dont eat anything sweet, so my comfort food would have to be crisps, or dips (or both at the same time)

And it has to be Heinz tomato soup with buttered toast when im poorly

thanks guys for helping with my research,carbs cause a blood sugar "high" hence us craving them when ill, or low.
it is interesting the foods you crave, the chocolate i get but cold sausages???
im with kenny tho, ill eat anything, hence my weight problem
id love some more people to add their comfort foods as its interesting...

as to the question about fruit salad, this is a classic "first" practical to see if kids can use knifes and tidy up, i do blueberry muffins- they are fun and idiot proof...all the kids, however accurately they weigh and measure, still manage to make them

It IS intriguing! I guess for me the 'cold sausages' thing is another one of the immediate solutions - they've already been cooked and are in my fridge... Just waiting to be scoffed...

My explanation for a cold sausage:

I hate eating hot food (hot as in temperature and not as in spice) - pizza, pasta, meat, sausages, rice etc etc - I much prefer my food cold.

That combined with the fact that i LOVE sausages = cold sauages

Oooh how curious, Tracy. And the yoghurt/ice cream thing, makes me !!!

I got into the habit of eating and drinking everything super hot when my DD (now 27) was a baby. I just ate and drank everything quickly so it didn't interrupt me tending to her.

but i still dont get the cold sausage thingy

Then you really, REALLY should try it!!! Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on... Oh my - I'm having a Mrs Doyle moment!!!

I totally get the cold sausage thing - OMG that is me!

However, for a comfort meal it would have to be pasta, pasta and more pasta.

This is so gross but my current obsession is M&S burger mayo - I'm not happy unless it's on EVERYTHING. And sometimes it doesn't even have to be on anything.....gross I know

Oh no - I'm with you!!! M&S Burger Mayo rocks!!! I had to stop buying it...

And if you like cold sausages, you have to try the Waitrose Sweet Chilli ones...

Cheese on toast, ice cream and anything sweet!

 

[mickeyforpresident]

When we can't be bothered to cook and feeling a little low, I love pre-prepared cheesy mash and cauliflower cheese.

When Im poorly, I eat pringles by the tube and love vanilla ice cream with red-cherry pie filling (warmed in the micowave) poured on top!!!!!!!
