What's your #1 comfort food?

[Bossy Monkey]

I was all set to introduce you pagans to the wonders of Castleberry's barbecue beef (heaven in a can), but after eating more than half a can last night I was up all night keyed up beyond all belief, and have had a vicious headache all day. It's just possible that geting more than half your RDA of sodium in one sitting isn't the best idea. So I'll have to revert to fried chicken. And you?

(I'd do a poll, but everybody knows macaroni and cheese would win it. Don't we?)

[Ariana Celeste]

1. Bread and spinach dip.

Currently.

[Rabrrrrrr]

[GCP]

5. Potato soup

Ate it when my first born went to his first posting with the Marines.

[Ron Green]

6. Pinto beans and cornbread, mashed up together with some Tabasco

and a glass of cold buttermilk.

[Mrs.Matcom]

7. Mac and cheese

but it has to be Stouffer's frozen mac & cheese and then I add hot sauce and I must have Lay's Salt & vinegar potato chips...yummy!!!

[GOPisEvil]

24. Make your own - takes just a few minutes!

I make a great stove-top mac and cheese. :9

[LeftyMom]

8. Seitan Shepherd's Pie

:9

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. That's about the only thing I'll eat seitan in. nt

[LeftyMom]

18. I sometimes use it for fajitas instead of portobellos.

That's about it though, because it's not too kind to my stomach.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. I pretty much hate the stuff.

Although, for some unknown reason, it's okay in shepherd's pie. I'm weird. What can I say?

[amitten]

9. McDonald's french fries. I almost never eat them, but if I feel bad,

they help for some reason.

[redqueen]

10. potato chip casserole

and yes, it's just as disgusting as it sounds... but it's my favorite comfort food right now, regardless.

other favorites:
fried chicken
chicken and dumplings
tuna melt
ramen noodles
kraft mac and cheese
other unhealthy cheap stuff

[Kajsa]

11. Chocolate Pudding.

The kind your cook up- not instant.

Almost anything chocolate.

[conflictgirl]

26. Ramen noodles are oddly comforting to me too

I'm always embarrassed to admit that, but yeah, those comfort me. Especially when I have bad PMS and am craving salt.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Mashed potatoes.

[Xipe Totec]

13. Pinto Beans & chorizo, with homemade flour tortillas.

Always takes me home.

:9

[Southsideirish]

15. Lorna Doone's and cold rice milk. Yum!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. Sushi & sake.

It makes everything better.

17. Don't expect any argument from me!

:9

[conflictgirl]

20. Really good fettucine alfredo

The real kind, with fresh grated parmesan (none of that shit in a green can) and all the fattening butter and cream. I can't justify eating it frequently because it's like heart attack on a plate, but that is the ultimate comfort food for me.

Close second is french toast with sweetened condensed milk on top. Sounds weird but is actually really good.

[Sisaruus]

21. Not just any mac and cheese....

Mom's mac and cheese. If it's not hers, I don't like it.

[miss_american_pie]

22. Chocolate chip cookies

or the unbaked dough.

[StellaBlue]

23. macaroni & cheese

maybe with ketchup

Dr Pepper

Blue Bell Milk Chocolate ice cream

[txwhitedove]

30. Must stay away from the Blue Bell!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. Ice cream in summer and oatmeal in winter

:-)

[Roon]

27. Bread pudding

The BEST!!!

[sleepyhead]

28. Yes, mac and cheese

Homemade - by me. Tied for first place: fried chicken. Dark meat only. Second place: spaghetti with butter and parmesan cheese.

[spindrifter]

29. spanokopita or chicken with pilaf.

[JI7]

31. potatoes, especially fries

chocolate chip cookies, soda.

[Scout1071]

Thank god Taco Hell is open till 2a.m. I don't think I can stave off these cravings until morning.

[Mz Pip]

38. Margaritas

A couple of them and I am quite comfortable. :-)

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Mutley]

39. Sugar in general. Chocolate in particular.

I've given up eating for comfort, though.

[gristy]

40. chocolate milk

yum

[Kerrytravelers]

41. Jelly Bellies... not jelly beans... but Jelly Bellies.

I always start off the school year by instructing my students that I do indeed accept bribes (maybe I am a republican after all!) ... money is good, but Jelly Bellies are much better!

http://jellybelly.com/

[Bossy Monkey]

45. Well they WERE Reagan's favorite; maybe you ARE a Republican :P n/t

[Kerrytravelers]

48. ray-gun liked jelly beans. I like Jelly Bellies.

Jelly Bellies are a higher class kinda jelly bean. Far too sophisticated for a "man of the people." :eyes: Jelly Bellies are what separate the "elitists" from the "real Amurikins," who favor jelly beans.

:)

[Bossy Monkey]

50. Now you've done it; you've made me go to the Reagan Foundation site

http://www.reaganfoundation.org/store/products.asp?subcat_id=20
It was jelly bellies. Nobody'd heard of the fucking things until Reagan started waxing rhapsodic about them. Started a craze, briefly. Perfect for a completely manufactured man of the people. (No reflection on you of course; just on Reagan and his puppeteers.)

[Kerrytravelers]

51. Uh-oh. I'm in trouble. I deeply apologize for being the cause of

looking at a ray-gun site.

Can we still be friends? :hi:

[Bossy Monkey]

52. Sure. Hand over the damn jelly bellies!

(Seriously, I've pretty nearly given up candy. Friends it is! :toast:)

[Kerrytravelers]

58. Oh no! Anything but the jelly bellies!

:toast:

[helderheid]

42. cheese.

[riderinthestorm]

43. Nachos and Sangria

Always works for me. Makes ya maudlin AND comforts at the same time.

You can get Chili's for take-out, or hit the local taqueria for the real stuff. Or make your own with a bunch of stuff off the shelf plus guacamole from the deli and sour cream from the dairy section (vegetarian here so it's easy to create in the micro without having to cook any meat beforehand).

[BreweryYardRat]

44. Either white chocolate or ice cream.

[Bzzzz]

46. Colby cheese...

and Triscuits. yummmmy...

[pdxbecca]

47. Ben & Jerry's

especially coffee heath bar crunch

[RebelOne]

49. Moose Tracks ice cream

[hippywife]

53. The PMSing woman's trail mix~

Lays potato chips and plain M&M's...together. :9

[WindRavenX]

54. Ben and Jerry's Marsha Marsha Marshmellow

:9

[tool_of_the_people]

55. Guinness and bratwurst n/t

[tyedyeto]

56. Sloppy joes with tater tots!

Not really but my kids loved that meal years ago.

For me, it's stew or chicken fried steak!

[smitty]

57. Scotch and soda
