what's your comfort food? pick ONE!

[Noodle Soup]

I can't speak for others but any "comfort food" for me is something somebody else prepared. Lasagna comes to mind, but I would settle for a variety of Chinese steam buns, noodle soup (surprise!) and egg rolls.

What's the cultural history of this combo? I've never heard of it, but sounds, umm...interesting.

Not sure, but it may be a Mexican thing. Im half Mexican and grew up mixing chile and lemon with a variety of fruits and veggies. Plus, they have carts all around LA that sell it on the streets.

+1

this is making me hungry now

Never seen eggs cooked that way.

I grew up in Hong Kong...miss the food there so much.
My comfort foods would be:
Roast meat on rice
Wonton Noodles with brisket & tendons
Congee with fried dough for dunking and a side order of soy sauce noodles

 

[TheNewMexican]

Hard cider, there's an apple in every bottle......

Really, it's probably "calavasas". Native squash thin sliced and slow fried with fresh corn cut from the cob and green onions. Cook until slightly caramelized. Eaten with a 2 inch thick steak cooked argentine style over oak and it is totally the bomb.

 

[malexthekid]

Simple for me... bangers and mash with some hotdog buns

 

[parbaked]

+1 bangers & mash but I might prefer sausage (bangers) beans & chips with a fried egg & Coleman's mustard...hangover cure!

 

[brianh]

Thinly sliced chicken cutlet slathered in Dijon mustard, panko breaded, and sauteed.

 

[parbaked]

I making Hainan chicken rice tonight for me and wifey.
When I used to commute to China for work that dish or a club sandwich at any Shangri-la Hotel was comfort....

Pho

Close 2nd is Yen Ta Fo (when the seafood craving strikes)

 

[dcsteve]

Poutine...heavy on the gravy.

 

[Dirt]

Pelmieni for a meal
Green chile for everything
Dried salmon for snacks

+1 to the anything else someone else prepares. For me it's gas station fried chicken. It's not so much about finding the best fried chicken at a gas station, it's about finding the one that sells a ton of it so it's always fresh wether for a hangover cure or late night munchies. Or biscuits and gravy but I try and save that for a splurge as I can at least justify the fried chicken being mostly protein hehe.

Hot pot....any type of Hot pot! There are dozens of varieties of hot pots: Taiwanese hot pot, Mongolian Hot Pot, Instant-boiled mutton, Manchurian hot pot, Sukiyaki , Shabu-shabu, Korean Budae-jjigae..... etc. Serve with top quality beef (kobe beef, USDA premium), pork, Lamb, Poultry. Fresh seafood & lots vegetables.
IMO, Hot pot is best way to taste original flavour/sweetness from nice fresh Ingredients.

[DaveInMesa]

For me it's gas station fried chicken.

:no: That's just too horrible to contemplate. lol!

 

[DaveInMesa]

For me, it's a good, hopefully great, cheeseburger.

Good = ground chuck, 85% lean, perfectly rare-medium-rare, crusty on the outside, properly seasoned, without any extraneous additions messing with the flavor profile of the beef, and real cheese (not "cheese food" )
Great = Good + an excellent fresh, soft yet toothsome, sesame-seed bun, with upgraded cheese (like chunky blue cheese sauce or sharp Cheddar)

 

[Marcelo Amaral]

Rice and brazilian beans, preferably with a steak.

 

[Godslayer]

Carbanara from work, double pancetta 200grm and an extra egg yolk, probably 1k cals but who cares

[Salty dog]

Frozen custard. In other parts of the country it might be called ice cream but here in Wisconsin when you go out for "ice cream" you go out for frozen custard. Cream, eggs, high butter-fat content.........soft serve.
