For me I like to have one of those little Chicago town pepperoni pizza's, I just love them done in the oven, I always scaled the roof of my mouth but I still eat them & always make sure there is at least a pack of two in the freezer.

So what's yours?

Definitely sausage butties. With loads of HP sauce. Food of the gods when you get in from a wintery night ride. I always have decent sausages in for that

And.... as we were bemoaning the end summer over the weekend, my mind wandered to the positive side of the temperature dropping and winter arriving ...... getting the slow cooker out again. Chicken Broth is going in tomorrow morning, to cook away all day. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

FAJITAS. MMM tortilla, chilli and cheese goodness.

I'm fairly simple, anything spicy or anything that can be put in a wrap or sandwich.

Fruit loops with chocolate milk

Or chocolate milk with baileys in it

Or all in the same bowl ( it seemed like a great idea at the time)

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I think the wife would disagree, but then she is a bit mental.

I've recently discovered fried chorizo and mozzarella on crusty bread using the oils from the chorizo instead of butter, it's pretty comforting.

emsz - couldn't agree more. I have spent my life firmly believing that there is no such thing as a bad cheese. But cottage cheese is the fruit of the devils own spuds. How can something with the consistency of cold rice pudding be classed as cheese

Its evil!!!

2 slices of thick toast, dripping with an obscene amount of lurpack with a crushed bag of crisps as a filling...needs a big handful of kitchen roll to wipe lurpack from the chin after every bite....ah nectar!

Mashed potato with goats cheese and sundried tomatoes mixed in, sausages, onion and rosemary sauce from Delia.

Amazing. Takes a little bit of time but it's the poshest and most scrumptious sausage and mash ever! Goes well with Garlic green beans or lime and chilli green beans.

Home made veggie samosa's from the corner shop; the only slight drawback is that one of the shop workers has horrendous body odour and sometimes when you are eating the samosa's you just get the strangest whiff/ taste of the stink.

decent cheddar.

peanut butter, out of the jar with a spoon.

I'll stand up for cottage cheese, it's like a savoury yoghurt. Not what I'd call a comfort food though.

Toast, beans, cheese (strong cheddar or something pungent) plus far more Tabasco/habanero or Naga sauce than is entirely sensible. Quench fire with Brown beer!!!!

Beetrboot and cumin soup from river cottage book is ace too.

Pretty much any crisp variety on the planet.
Toasted wholemeal bagel with marge and marmite.
Pasta
Baked Beans on toast with grated cheese.
Roast dinner (I could eat a whole roast chicken pretty much on it's own).
Cheesecake.
I used to love Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies with a jacket potato and baked beans. I haven't had it for years though.
