A good Hamburger!!

I just found out today that the Campbell's wild mushroom condensed soup isn't too bad. There are huge chunks of wild mushrooms in there with a real texture! And it was somewhat tasty. LOL--don't judge me!

Depends on the time of the day...

1.  PHO...less noodles more broth with chili oil
2.  Egg Mcmuffins and hashbrowns
3.  Jumbo sized MISO soup with Sriracha and rice mixed in

Oops....I just realized mine are all 3 HANGOVER comfort foods.

Burgoo would be my all time comfort food spot!

mmm yummy stuff so far... I vote on
Beef Stroganoff with spaetzle (like mom makes lol)
Yaki Udon with chick and bonito flake
Pot roast plain and simple

- Grilled Cheese Sandwich and vegetarian chilli !!!!
- Egg and cheese biscuit (not sure if you can get them around here...)
- Chocolate cake.... mmmmmmmmm

Starving at 1am and can't sleep.... so I run across this thread. Gah

Tomato soup with corn in it.

When I was little we were a little "poor" and for a time we had tomato soup for dinner every night. Once a week we'd have corn in it and it was sooo special. Strange that I love it so much to this day.

I had a porkchop with mustard seed sauce on it last night... adding it to my list!

@ lil miss bossy - Same here, except Mom mixed it up with cream of mushroom some days, and tomato the next. Sometimes we had grilled cheese with Kraft singles. Mmmmmmmmmmm

@ two plank - yay for not being the only one! Some nights though it would be pea soup, which for me is nothing short of vomit. Sitting at the table for an hour, not allowed to leave until I ate it was not exactly comforting. A little more like torture actually. Why on earth did parents ever do that? I'm going to call my mama right now and ask her. Effed up I tell you.

@ little miss bossy (when did we start calling one another by our nicknames? :p)
Ewwww... pea soup - but then again... I had Indish's pea soup a month or so ago - and I gotta say, blown away! yelp.ca/biz/indishpensab…

I'm drooling.

-Macaroni and cheese
-pizza
-Ice Cream

have to add a tub of TCBY

Cheesecake mmmm
Pizza
Mini doughnuts
Enchiladas

Toad in the hole! just like my mum used to make!!!

Deep fried banana with mango and coconut ice-cream.
Nutella, straight-up on a spoon.
Warm apple cider.

Phad Thai (not sure why... but it is.)
Good chocolate
Tomato soup + grilled cheese

Bacon
Pasta
Dim Sun

Ugh.  I mean Dim Sum.  Of course.

Just thinking of comfort foods makes me hungry!

I'd steal Crystal's idea for tomato soup and a grilled cheese! I also love cereal and bologna sandwiches. I'm pretty easy to please!

Hmmmmmmm

My first post in a forum but in terms of three comfort foods, I'll have to go with the following

Warm Apple Crumble with a scoop of Vanilla ice Cream
Nice hot piping bowl of Pho done just right
Can of Campbell Chunky Soup - yes... Campbell's Chunky Soup.

@Sippin wine on vacation time - two plank started it. I will keep an open mind that somebody somewhere out there could possibly make a pea soup I didn't hate. Possibly....

Chunky soup (like beef, or chicken noodle) with a chunk of cheese melted in the middle.
Instant noodle without the soup base.  Just drain out the water and add the MSG :)
Mashed potatoes, lotsa butter and cheese

Bananas or plantains fried in butter and brown sugar
Beef or potato pelmeni with sour cream and chives
Borsch

For a remedy from the cold, I combine milk, an egg and honey and microwave it, cures it all.

As a drink, apple cider or a hot toddy.

Because of this "talk" I've just had a grilled cheese sandwich (with ham) and tomato soup 2 nights in a row...Mmmm...comfort food.

@Kvn R. - that's hilarious! Me too! Well - not two nights in a row. But I was inspired to have it last night.

What about a yummy PBnJ? MMMM... I miss those too! I need to go grocery shopping. :)

Oh - I just ate some sorbet too. Another great comfort food. Pomegranate gelatto is amaaaazing!

I avoid microwaving due to changes in molecular structures that alters taste and I don't think it's very healthy. I love cream of carrot soup made from scratch but yes tomato soup is also nice.

@Michael - re Microwaving - Have you done a double-blind test?

If I warmed two identical portions of soup, one in the microwave, and one on the stove top, and poured them into identical bowls, and did this ten times, you'd be able to taste the difference ten times out of ten?

interesting Geoff I don't know if I could pull off 10/10 but 7 out of 10 minimum I think I could do it. I especially think I can with pasta or noodles.lol.

a good ol' hamburger for me!

Fantasy or reality? My fantasy comfort foods are:
Butter Chicken.
Pizza. (or next morning fried egg on pan re-heated slice.) -weird but true.
Cheeseburger.

My reality comfort foods are:
Taco's (crispy corn) with lactose free cheese, and shredded lettuce.
(Corn or Rice) Spaghetti with tomato garlic, and basil meat sauce.
French Fries.
Flank Steak over greens.

My top 3 comfort foods:

SpAGETTI !

anything ChocolatE!

a BIG mac!

....................................

But I try not to eat food for comfort... I eat them when I'm hungry! of course I still eat for the calming affect somethimes

1. Mom's Colombian potato soup with a poached egg.
2. Pasta - almost any kind
3. Red Wine (the fine kind)

1. macaroni in chicken broth with shredded processed ham and peas
2. Double Big Mac
3. steamed egg custard (with chicken eggs, salted duck eggs and century eggs) on rice

Just thought of this talk thread. It's 12am and I am headed to the grocery store to make a late night run. Doesn't a coke float sound awesome? YUM!! Or... maybe a coffee one?

PS - why am I craving caffeine this late at night? Not good. Someone stop me!

1. Pho Vietnamese Noodle Soup
2. Chana (Indian Curried Chickpeas) and Rice
