Had to look that one up. Thank you.
Couch potatos and pigs in a blanket come to mind.
BUTTERED Noodles or Baggette. The key word here is BUTTER!
chicken soup
Ham and pinto beans with sweet cornbread. I have a serving bowl in the fridge at all times for a quick winter meal, just now finished a bowl. Cooked Jello tapioca pudding in the box. Fried okra ranks pretty high on my list too. Thanks to Granny for teaching me the basic southern dishes as a kid, you’re sorely missed…,oh oh oh…apricot fried pies,mmmmm.
USMC SOS. That stuff was scrumdiddlyumptious.
top ramen
It’s It.
port wine. Is that considered a food?
I love a good port, which unfortunately is very expensive, some medium prized ones are also good. Ones at a Christmas party I had a really good glass of port, and years ago when my friends and I use to go into the City on Friday nights, we were at Perry’s on Union Street, and met some guys who were in town because of a convention for a liquer company, they bought us some really nice port, since they were on an expense account. That was it, no dates no party afterwards, just chatted at Perry’s.
@Hanne I am good with TJs Ruby port, just $6.50. I probably have not had what most consider a good port, but to be honest, my palate is not tremendously discerning, and I could not tell a $7 from a $50 bottle, other than it cost me more money. I would assume a much more expensive one must have something I could tell is different.
@Cowellian: I have. My wife bought one of those 375 mL bottles. I enjoyed, but it did not seem much different to me than TJs version. I guess I am just a simple man with simple tastes (and a simple mind, some would say….).
If you like port wine, give V. Sattui’s Madeira a try.
how rude of me, forgot to thank both Cowellian and Hanne for their comments/suggestions. Thank you
Spaghetti
My granny’s homemade old-fashioned donuts, fried in lard. Oh, and her fried chicken. Also, five-cheese mac’n cheese, which I make in a casserole dish. Merry Christmas, all!
I guess I will have to say mashed potatoes, since my Dad grew potatoes. Here I buy the white sweet potatoes, sometimes mix with russet potatoes. Try to not use too much butter, but some, then a little sour cream. Soup is also a comfort soup, I grew up on all kinds of homemade soup, chicken with dumplings, yellow pea soup, others. I rarely make my own soup, although I buy the Knorr vegetable soup, then add fresh veggies, parsnip, leeks, potatoes, carrots, so that get close to homemade.
Fry Chicken, Krispy Kreme Donuts, See’s Candy and good Mexican food like Taco Bell and Chipotle.
