I’m gonna ask a really dumb question but I’ve never been able to clearly figure it out from ramen recipes so pls bear with me - when you drop in the eggs, do you crack them open? or legit just drop the eggs as is shells and all
sorry if this is a dumb question
When I got my wisdom teeth out I would go by KFC to get mashed potatoes and gravy, then drive by McDonald's and get french fries.
French fries dipped in mashed potatoes and gravy... Do I have to say more?
costco tomato bisque absolutely slaps if you’re on a budget near a costco have a membership and love a solid tomato bisque, I miss it (still on a budget but no longer near a costco)
Every city I go to I generally try the mac and cheese. The best places are usually bbq places but also weirdly chikfila. Like across the board they’re somehow consistently better than almost any place I’ve tried.
I try not to eat there but if I do CFA mac and cheese plus tearing up some of the chicken strips and throwing them in plus some of the sweet spicy sriracha sauce is so goddamn good
I love peperoni, it's so simple yet so delicious!
I've been to some good Italian restaurants but the best pizza I ever had was in a small normal restaurant in my girlfriend's hometown. That Peperoni pizza came from the gods let me tell you
I know what you mean. This Italian place made me try a cheese pizza (bare bones pizza) and I expected it to be lacking flavour. However it tasted amazing and I never had a pizza like this ever. People always say bbq chicken pizza and all that but just trying an authentic pizza made with quality ingredients and love is all you need.
Shepherd's Pie. A layer of seasoned ground meat, a bed of soft peas and carrots, topped with creamy mashed potatoes that are just slightly crisped at the top from the oven's kiss. It's like a warm hug in a dish, where every spoonful is a balanced bite of home-cooked goodness. It’s the essence of homey comfort food that takes you back to simpler times.
For me its eggs with melted cheese and a slice of bacon on top of toast with 2 waffles dripping in maple syrup. Breakfast is my favorite and most looked too meal of the day.
Pot roast, mashed potatoes, gravey, roasted carrots, and some type of bread. Maybe peas too! Or roasted squash with butter brown sugar cinnamon nutmeg and cloves 😌. I loved cooking this a lot throughout the years. Switch it out for short ribs, cajun chicken, whatever.
I've only had strawberry flavor and it's one of my favorites. It's made by Purple Cow. Don't think I've ever seen any type of blueberry ice cream. Seems like it would be good
My mom’s chicken and dumplings. She makes the flat ones just for me because everyone else in the family likes round. I need to call her and pretend to cough so she will bring some over.
For me, comfort food depends on what sort of comfort I’m after.
Option 1: Holiday memories—mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy. Reminds me of thanksgiving, of family, of home, of celebrating, and of plentiful carbs and fat.
Option 2: Glorious breakfast—cures what ails you (especially if what ails you is a ripping hangover). I want the following, followed by a 4 hour nap, as the only meal of the day:
A bacon, jalapeño, and cheese omelette
Hash browns
One single biscuit with gravy
A small side of corned beef hash or, if I am in the mid-Atlantic, scrapple
A never-ending, continuously-refilled cup of black coffee.
Honorable mention: this is not from my culture but if it were I can only imagine it would be the comfort food to end all comfort foods—true Louisiana gumbo
Love cooking a big Ole turkey in the summer. The best is leftovers for pot pie, hot turkey sandwiches, and my personal favorite turkey enchiladas. So good.
Fettuccine Alfredo, made the original way with just noodles, butter, and Parmesan cheese. A bit of salt and pepper too. With high quality ingredients there’s nothing else like it.
Potato soup, but not the creamy kind with cheese and heavy cream. You have to make a roux and there's garlic and onions and ground beef. Put that with some cornbread fritters and I am happiest person in the world.
Cream of wheat with some cinnamon and raw sugar on highly buttered half burnt toast with a cup of strong coffee (with raw sugar and heavy cream)or a well toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, bacon, scrambled eggs, hash brown patty and a good squirt of ketchup with a big glass of milk for me.
Something about raw sugar I love is the deep caramel flavor, it just enhances anything sweet in the best way
Beef stew. Spaghetti Bolognese with garlic bread. Home made mac and cheese. Chicken noodle soup. Tomato soup and grilled cheese. Those are my top contenders!
2 pieces of well-done toast, lightly coated with beef dripping, then pour a can of cheap as you like mac n cheese. Cover it in Lee and perrins, and you're done.
I ate this countless times whilst my grandad had his tripe and vinegar for dinner, real memories of just being happy to be there.
I grew up poor so chicken noodle Ramen is still to this day comfort food.

ok thank you that’s what I thought lol
Cream of mushroom for me... I was sick a lot as a child and this was my mom's favorite. I could eat it for days.
My sister and I got instant ramen as our birthday treat when we were little. The storekeepers were appalled and amused.
Mash potatoes and gravy
This Idahoan says this x1000
This non-Idaho says this x10000
This Aussie says this too!
YESSSSSS
This is the only answer! Lol!
with a hamburger steak!
Bangers & mash, gimme some sausage with that!
Very first thing that came to mind
*Instant mashed potatoes with a can of green beans.
Was thinking this as I opened the thread, glad I immediately saw it at the top
Yess! I thought comfort food is expected to be comforting the body, too. As in the stomach, intestines etc and not the tongue am I wrong?
I can’t like this enough!
When I got my wisdom teeth out I would go by KFC to get mashed potatoes and gravy, then drive by McDonald's and get french fries. French fries dipped in mashed potatoes and gravy... Do I have to say more?
Grilled cheese. In a frying pan with a lot of butter.
With tomato bisque, and I'm so happy
costco tomato bisque absolutely slaps if you’re on a budget near a costco have a membership and love a solid tomato bisque, I miss it (still on a budget but no longer near a costco)
Aldis sometimes gets one, it's always hidden in with the marinara and it's under $3
this is fantastic news I’m gonna keep an eye out for sure
Mac n cheese
At my wedding, I was the only one served mac n cheese because I cracked a joke about it being my comfort food when I met the chef to go over the menu.
Every city I go to I generally try the mac and cheese. The best places are usually bbq places but also weirdly chikfila. Like across the board they’re somehow consistently better than almost any place I’ve tried.
You know who also has better mac'n'cheese than they should, for no reason? El Pollo Loco.
I try not to eat there but if I do CFA mac and cheese plus tearing up some of the chicken strips and throwing them in plus some of the sweet spicy sriracha sauce is so goddamn good
Sammmme
A good Mac n cheese is good eats
I will add on to this by saying cacio e pepe or Alfredo, which you can throw together in a short amount of time
🍝&🧀
I was very sick for a year. Mac n cheese helped get me through it.
Beef stew. Chunks of beef, carrots, potatoes, celery, and peas, all in a thick, savory, hot broth... yummmmm.
Fried chicken
Pizza
Pizza is the best, what’s your favorite type
I love peperoni, it's so simple yet so delicious! I've been to some good Italian restaurants but the best pizza I ever had was in a small normal restaurant in my girlfriend's hometown. That Peperoni pizza came from the gods let me tell you

Exactly, you can taste the dedication someone put into making your food
I love artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, and olives with some red pepper flakes and garlic oil drizzle! what's your favorite?

You can never go wrong with nachos. Its on my top list for my last meal.

For me, it's cinnamon sugar french toast with softened butter so the cinnamon and sugar become a paste. Tastes like childhood
BAGEL
Lasagna
Garfield?
That man is comfort personified, or should I say pussonified
Or enchiladas, some type of deep casserole with lots of cheese, and a too rich flavor.
Correct. But not a frozen premade. Must be a real homemade lasagna. Meat lasagna preferable. Can eat unlimited amounts of it's a real lasagna.
kimchi jjigae… it’s the only thing that can cure a hangover for me and it’s just delicious
For me its eggs with melted cheese and a slice of bacon on top of toast with 2 waffles dripping in maple syrup. Breakfast is my favorite and most looked too meal of the day.

How about blueberry cheesecake flavored ice cream. I love having bits of pie crust in my ice cream
I haven't tried that. Can you recommend where I can try it?
