Whats the, like…..TOTALLY bestest comfort food ever then?

Tartiflette

Binners – Good answer. Perfect comfort food

😥 I hate being on a diet. I hate this thread.

Dieting in January is just stupid.

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

Derekstarship is correct about the chip butties, other than his bread being too small.

Chip butties aside,

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

Stovies – nothing better
..or maybe cullen skink

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>

nomnomnomnom

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

+1
tartiflette

Fish and chips, loads a smelly vinegar
😆

Chicken curry rice & chips
Crisp Sandwich
Cheese on toast

Apple crumble & custard. (or pie and custard. Or cobbler & custard. Or flapjack & custard. Or ginger cake & custard. Sod it, just give us the damn custard…)

You horrible lot.
It’s chilly out, i’m on my way home to a broken hob so limited comfort food preparation options for me.

Good sausages, apple sauce and mashed potatoes with shedloads of butter in.

Now I feel hungry…

Bregante- good call! – that’s one of my proudest moments! A full English breakfast in a pie! A mad dream turned into a reality by the vision of Dr P. i Might have to cook another one this week 🙂

Ton you total pervert. OOOH i want some.

that’s one of my proudest moments!

DrP’s creation originally, wasn’t it?

Cauliflower cheese (grilled top) with chips followed up with Bread and butter pudding. Beer!

Cassoulet, red wine, fresh bread.

Or

Sausage & Mash with red Onion gravy.

+1 for cheese on toast with worcestershire sauce

my all time fave, however, is:

The magical fish finger sandwich!

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.

Bacon and cheese oatcakes with loads of brown sauce, food of the gods

Fish finger butties! food of the gods! they have to be on crap white bread though, with cheese singles and tomato sauce. Mmmmmmm

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

Fajitas all day long! Yuuuuuum

When I had my own bakery we sold the breakfast pie. Sliced sausage egg and baked beans topped with a lovely puff pastry lid.. total comfort !! Nowadays I like cheese n biscuits with my homemade chilli jam

Bunny Chow ie Curry in a half a loaf of bread. No utensils needed. A South African favourite especially in Durban.

you are all heathens

mince stew with home cooked chips and tommy sauce

my earliest food memory

some great food from the previous posters I have to say
