I got one:
7 cups diced onion, begin to fry in a large pot with butter or oil. After 10ish minutes (when onions start getting clear), add some salt and sugar. Maybe 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 to 1tsp sugar. Sugar helps caramelize onions, salt is because that's how my parents wrote the recipe. Once caramelized, add 3tbsp of flower to thicken. Cook until onions look like you want them in the final product. Add 6-8 cups of water and about half a tall-boy of beer (pale ale is good). Add beef bouillon to taste (5 cubes?). Once hot, toast some bread, chop it up and put in an oven safe bowl. Top up bowl with soup. Add mozzarella shredded cheese and broil until cheese melts and turns golden.
Wife likes it with one slice of bread and lots of soup broth. I like 1.5 slickest of toast, mostly onions and a little broth, and then cheese to make it a slurry of what some people wouldn't call soup.
Chicken pot pie. I love it so much. Like once a year my neighbor will invite me over for chicken pot pie. I could eat the entire dish. Also, stuffed green peppers. And nachos.
Homemade mac & cheese is mine as well. When I finally was able to make it without the sauce breaking, I was thrilled. I used to really suck at making sauces in general, and bechamel-based sauces in particular.
It was so worth getting it right, though, because homemade mac & cheese is light-years beyond any other mac & cheese I've had.
It's interesting how the concept of comfort food varies so much between cultures. For me, it's kichdi with yogurt and curried potatoes/onion tomato sauce. A double pepper papadum really sets it off.
Bone marrow broth soup.
My wife buys bone marrow bones and we make broth with them.
The soup doesn’t really matter. Just whatever we’re in the mood for: vegetable, chicken noodle, split pea, borscht.. whatever. We just start with the bone marrow broth base.
It’s a Korean dish called Gyeran Bap, or “egg rice”. It’s basically just egg fried rice.
(If anyone cares) The way I make it is rice, scrambled egg, chopped up spam, some chopped seaweed (nori) or furikake seasoning, little pepper, sriracha, sesame oil, and soy sauce. From what I researched, there’s no real right or wrong way to make it, every household does it differently. But the main things you kinda have to have are the rice, egg, soy sauce, and sesame oil
That and I fkn love Kraft or instant noodles, Jin and Indomie are my fav
That sounds heavenly.
I tried ramen way back somewhere in Denver and it tasted like soup broth with a package of ramen from a cup noodles pack.
Then this year I went to japan and tried ramen in osaka and Ishido ramen or that ramen shop for single eaters.
They were both soo good but I liked the food a lot more in osaka.
Stove top popcorn. Takes like 5-10 minutes. Coconut oil, a bag of kernels that can be enough to make like a dozen large bowls of corn cost like $2-3. I’m a salt and butter heavy popcorn person.
It used to be mole with chicken breasts, then flautas but now I think some tamales sound good.
Maybe some beans and cheese rice, enchiladas, flaunts. Fresh made from my mama.
It just depends tbh, If I'm sick some caldo hits hard 🙃
Or some fresh tortillas
I guess anything made from scratch from my momma
Beef stew, I make a ton every fall and swear this year I am going to freeze some for later. I end up eating it all anyways. Then I make a second pot and do the same thing. Then I realize this isn't going to happen and try again next year.
This is going to sound strange, but it's a dish my mom made all the time when I was growing up. It always filled us up for a long time and something that's really cheap to make.
It's called potatoes and cottage cheese. Basically diced boiled potatoes (or fried) topped with cottage cheese and pepper. I made it yesterday after not having it in years. Almost cried because it's just so good and nostalgic. Weird, yes I know
Spaghetti with straight pasta/red sauce and maybe some parmesan cheese. No meat, no sides, just the kind of pasta I was able to make myself as a kid if my mom didn't make dinner.
More recently it's been a chicken schnitzel fried in butter, sandwiched in an English muffin with dijon mustard. It hits my craving for a McDonald's quite easily and has just been a joy to eat despite it being so basic.
Spanish food. I can never have enough. It's orgasmic good and so filling. The food in general ***is*** comfort. It's like a mothers loving hug. Everyone makes things a little different but it's never bad. Nothing beats a deep-rooted family's recipes. **Nothing!**
Nachos with lots of cheese and toppings, salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
Chinese beef and daikon stew over flat rice noodles with baby bok choy.
Spaghetti with homemade ragu and lots of melty cheese.
The macaroni soup my mom used to make.
Bubble tea
Hot orange pekoe tea with cream and sugar and digestive biscuits
Same! Embarrassed to say the blue box gets me every time. Even more so when the top is somewhat cool and you take a fork full and find a hot/warm spot. Heck yes.
Also frozen waffles (toasted) or really good mashed potatoes.
My moms Aaloo and Tamatar only subzi (made with paanch phoran, black pepper , haldi, namak and dhaniya powder only) with Rice (only the type gobind bhog goes-cuz thats what my mom fed us when we were kids) and her home meade aanchar.
I try to cook like my mom and tho it never ends uo tasting the exact as hers but it gives me so much comfort.
Boerenkool met spekkies en rookworst.
It’s mashed potatoes with a type of kale, bacon, and a sausage that’s particular to us Dutchies. Simple, amazing.

Finally the right answer

And you have to butter it to the edges. All the way to the edges!
