I guess I don’t have what would be considered a comfort food, but I can do a lot of damage with a decently cooked ribeye, and were I to have a fridge full of various comfort foods, and that was there, that would be my first go to. Naturally, I can pack away a pizza without batting an eye (but would need to loosen the pants), to address the most devoured comfort food, but (unfortunately) that would be the case with just about any food put in front of me. So, final answer/survey says! ribeye

.
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and steamed vegetables like green peas, snow peas, broccoli, or spinach.

… thank God I’m a country boy.

Pinto beans with ham (cooking in the crockpot as I write this) and homemade cornbread, hands down the most comfy of my comfort foods.

Cyn March 30, 2022 - 1:35 PM - 1:35 PM

Homemade cornbread? YUM!

Dr Jellyfinger March 30, 2022 - 7:16 PM - 7:16 PM

Nom!

Cyn March 30, 2022 - 1:37 PM - 1:37 PM

Chocolate milkshakes always comfort me.

Roz March 30, 2022 - 2:45 PM - 2:45 PM

Cyn ~ That’s one of my Hubby’s favorites.

Cyn March 31, 2022 - 9:54 AM - 9:54 AM

Roz, your husband has good taste……in shakes AND in wives. 🙂

Little Debbie’s Oatmeal Cream Pies, not really a food but I could eat a bunch of those. Lol.

The Professor March 30, 2022 - 2:12 PM - 2:12 PM

Kraft Mac n Cheese.

jprcards March 30, 2022 - 3:55 PM - 3:55 PM

I must admit that I still love the “deluxe” version and I add some grated cheese to boot.

The Old Goat March 30, 2022 - 2:18 PM - 2:18 PM

Beef Stew leftovers. Give it a couple days for all the flavors to develop and “marry”: what’s not to like?

Roz March 30, 2022 - 2:46 PM - 2:46 PM

The Old Goat ~ So True!

Jeff (the other one) March 30, 2022 - 3:32 PM - 3:32 PM

@Goat…good call, beef stew is great any time of day!

Randy March 30, 2022 - 2:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Original G
Yes, indeed; Good meatloaf if hard to find these days.

Hanne Jeppesen March 30, 2022 - 2:43 PM - 2:43 PM

Yes, beef stew l make different versions, usually heavy on paprika, sauce varies, one beef broth, cream and sour cream, another similar, but add tomato paste and perhaps diced tomatoes. Last on similar to Hungarian goulash. Of course to make it perfect comfort food has to be served with mashed potatoes.

The Old Goat March 30, 2022 - 5:12 PM - 5:12 PM

Hanne
Got a good recipe to share for Goulash? I was just thinking of making some, and I’d like to see if yours is much different than mine. I like to look at different recipes and combine the best parts of each.

Dr Jellyfinger March 30, 2022 - 7:14 PM - 7:14 PM

@ Hanne ~ Do you use smoked paprika in your stew? I had never tried it before until my daughter introduced it to me in a dish she made for her dear old Dad…. and I am addicted to it… It’s my new favorite spice, so much better than plain old paprika!

Cool hand Luke March 30, 2022 - 2:57 PM - 2:57 PM

Cowellian March 30, 2022 - 3:03 PM - 3:03 PM

My grandmother’s chicken and dumplings
My mom’s Navy beans with cornbread
My dad’s biscuits and gravy
My wife’s meatloaf with macaroni and cheese or English pub stew with Yorkshire pudding

Oh, please March 30, 2022 - 3:15 PM - 3:15 PM

Plain white bread, butter, warmed, with sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top. Or a flour tortilla with butter. Simple, but carb-filled 😉

Sancho Panza March 30, 2022 - 3:59 PM - 3:59 PM

I love churros, the thick snake looking type called “calentitos de rueda” filled with cajeta, or dulce de leche…takes right back to childhood! Does anyone know where they make them fresh around here, the thick type?

nitsuj March 30, 2022 - 5:38 PM - 5:38 PM

When i was in high school, YVHS class of 2001; my friends and I would head over to taco bell where you could buy a churo l mean this thing was huge, great snack, i dont know where one can buy that , perhaps at I may be wrong but El Ranchos grocery mart. great food people but never looked for a churro, but i did get one from that store off of monument blvd and the old KFC, the old safeway was there but there was for a small time i think it was el rancho, and they had churros and bean and green chili tamales’.. then they went out of bussiness, very sad

Darwin March 30, 2022 - 4:22 PM - 4:22 PM

Fish tacos – grilled. With all the fixings

MoJo March 30, 2022 - 4:31 PM - 4:31 PM

Chicken fried steak with sausage gravy and topped with an over easy egg.

Tod March 30, 2022 - 4:41 PM - 4:41 PM

Southern fried chicken, mac n’ cheese with bacon, pecan pie with ice cream. Oh yeah!

Strad March 30, 2022 - 4:45 PM - 4:45 PM

For me it would be a comfort snack of potato chips and cashews.

Hanne Jeppesen March 30, 2022 - 4:57 PM - 4:57 PM

For dessert definitely ice cream, especially butter pecan, l like coffee ice cream, but somehow butter pecan is more comforting.

OMG! hmmm ., well I would have to say lumpia. NOT the frozen oven backed stuff, the traditional made lumpia, it takes a while to make but its totally worth it,

nitsuj March 30, 2022 - 5:30 PM - 5:30 PM

oooh wait biscuits n gravy! NICE, and churros , heck yes. reminds me of the time the lock-ness monster came up to me and said: I need about $3.50. three fitty, its about this time i realized that this creature was trying to hustle me out of my comfort food.

Paul March 30, 2022 - 5:42 PM - 5:42 PM

Guacamole, salsa and tortilla chips, washed down with a cold beer!

Dr Jellyfinger March 30, 2022 - 8:33 PM - 8:33 PM

A thick slice of homemade banana nut bread slathered with butter and a cup of hot black coffee…. that makes me pretty comfortable.

Antler March 30, 2022 - 8:54 PM - 8:54 PM

Ummmm… to differentiate between FAVORITE foods and favorite COMFORT foods is the keystone here!

I’ll go with the latter:
If I am chilled from working outside …or just am feeling a bit “under the weather”, then I’ll go with Campbell’s cream-of-tomato soup (half milk and half water added) along with a sharp yellow New York cheddar sandwich pan-fried in butter.

whome March 30, 2022 - 9:32 PM - 9:32 PM

Everything mentioned above, plus:

Anything with both chocolate and marshmallows I will eat…
