Proper french cassoulet is fantastic warming comfort food - pork, sausages, duck, goose, beans, vegetables all slow cooked for hours so it melts in your mouth.

Making myself feel hungry now.

Or if short for time, a breakfast stottie with crispy bacon, sausage, egg, mushrooms, black pudding

jota180 - thats reminded me of another of the better halves favourites. Blat a full camembert in the microwave for a couple of minutes, then cut the top crust open and dip crusty bread in the runny lovliness within.

God this thread is making me hungry now

Dieting in January is just stupid.

It's cold, dark and miserable. Salad is not your friend in these times

I completely agree. Difficult to go back now though as I've already lost so much weight and feel so much better.

But this thread is tempting me towards the fridge....

Penny Dip,

A nice thick slice of white bread, buttered, then dipped into the juices in the pan from cooking a beef steak or joint, a dash of salt . . .

pure heaven

MrsG's Smoked haddock risotto with a poached egg (or two)

My Gnocci with tomatoes, red pepper, chilli and chorizo

Others include scrambled eggs & salmon and (just had it for lunch) cheese on toast with chilli (flakes of fresh, doesn't matter)

<wanders off to butchers to see if he has any ham hocks for Jamie's recipe>

Stews. Not bothered what but current favourite is boarlet (baby wild boar) as it's in season. Marinade for a couple of days. Cook for 5-6 hours. Delicious.

Venison Stew & dumplings with bacon, redcurrent jelly and whatever else is around veg wise.

Cheese and potato soup wth a crusty bun

Steaming treacle sponge with copious amounts of custard

Cheese souffle

Spicey mixed bean hotpot

Bratwurst( Aldi's) and mash

Bacon butty with B/S or if im feeling really hungry then add egg and blackpudding

If it was the last meal sort of thing then the venison stew would top my list but it would have to come from the Crask Inn in Sutherland. My stew doesn't come close.....and is turning into something of an eternal quest

I tried a tweak on the fish finger sandwich last week - add 1 slice of cheese and a good helping of tartare sauce made it a winner.

For me a simple beans on toast with a mug of Yorkshire tea to wash down is my favourite comfort food.

Tyrolean Grostl with the egg cooking itself on top

My variation on fish finger sandwich : use a whole haddock fillet in batter

Today I had smooth veg soup with chives, barley and bits of chicken liver pâté

Many of the others on here are wonderful winter food

If we're talking puddings then it has to Bread and Butter pudding.

I made one after Christmas with the leftover Panettone. It made a great thing even better.

Thick slices of fruit malt loaf, carefully toasted (warning: it catches fire quite nicely if you're not being careful) and then liberally plastered with real butter.

You know what I call comfort food?

Food. It's all wonderful. But say or be shot....

In no particular order

Mash and gravy, with sausages is good, but not compulsory.
A simple bacon Butty.
Yorkshire pudding
Tartiflet.
Kedgeree.
Risotto.
Mac and cheese (specially with a breadcrumb crust)
Fish finger Butty (Binners, we talked about this, cheese slices are not required)
Any oven baked pasta dish (lasagne, cannelloni etc)
[guilty pleasure] chicken super noodles, with strong cheddar, mozzarella and thick cut ham mixed in
Cake (any)
Rice pud
Bread and butter pud
Custard.

*goes into foodgasm, just thinking about all that.....*

Biscuits and cups of tea.

Binners, next time we do that drop to Owd Bets mate, I am so having a Bacon Butty and a cup of tea at that little caravan thing.
