Comfort Foods?
So now it's getting cold out, what kinds of comfort foods do you all like, or had as a kid?
Home made Mac and cheese has to be a fav here, especially with the kids.
Chicken or fish pie is definitely up there, but also fish/corn/clam/lobster chowder.
Chicken noodle soup for when feeling under the weather.
The missus really likes baked little weiner sausages in BBQ sauce, which I have to say is oddly pleasant and growing on me.
So what about you lot?

Stovies (stoved potatoes) with canned corned beef. Had it since I was a kid, and easy to make. Some people call it corned beef hash, but it's not.

Re: Comfort Foods?
I've only ever had stovies made with mince. Usually with brown sauce and beet root.

My go-to comfort food is ramen noodle soup, the dry packaged crap that's 100% sodium....but ONLY Ichiban brand!!! Not Maruchan or those other ones!

A good curry and a massive naan bread to soak it up, washed down with some Carlsberg Special Brew, or cod & chips or a pukka pie and mushy peas.

Re: Comfort Foods?
Can't argue with any of those.....apart from the Special Brew....last time I had that was about 30 years ago and I spent the latter part of the evening cuddling and professing undying love for a rose bush....
