Comfort food is different for everyone. For instance, K-girl, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, enjoys Span, due to her heritage. Many people love American Goulash, or slumgullion. I have a few comfort food, ok, many comfort foods that just make me feel good eating them. Some of my favorites are foods that others turn their noses up at. But to me, they bring back memories of doing things with friends, and family. Here are some of my favorites:
Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup - I've been eating this since I was a wee child. I still eat it the same way as I did when I was little. I only add a half can of water to the condensed soup, so as to get maximum muhsroom flavor. I get it hot, and strain every spoonful thropugh my teeth, capturing the mushrooms in my cheeks. When the bowl is empty, I then munch the shrooms for a final, intense mushroom flavor.
Potted Meat - I know there are a whole host of people who despise this food. We had it often when I was in kindergarten, through 1rst grade. My mother, and our babysitter used it the same way, mixed with Mirical Whip and sweet pickel relish. It was then smeared heavily onto whire bread, and served with a canned soup, always Campbell's. And I preferred Libby's brand over Hormell. If I didn't have health issues, I'd still be chowing down on potted meat sandwiches.
Sardines in Olive Oil. My Dad and I enjoyed them, especially when we were on the road, traveling to a fishing stream. I also ate them at my Grandma's house.
Brook Trout - Growing up in my family, if you din't like brookies, well, you just weren't right in the head. dredged in a little flour, then fried in oil until golden brown, and lightly salted, yeh, that was something special. And I ate this with my Dad, or with my Grandparents, Dad, and Uncles on my Dad's side. It was called a mess of fish, and it doesn't get any better than that.
Pickled Pigs Feet - Yeh, this was a specialty that I enjoyed with my Grandpa.z
Head Cheese = anpther Grand[a thing.
Hot Dogs - cp;d. hpt, doesn't matter. I'd minch therm at my Dad's house while watching TV, with my Dad of course.
Pepperoni Sticks - Again, something Dad and I would munch while watching the tube.
Liverwurst - eaten as slices, all by itself, or on a toasted bread sandwich, with lettuce, Miracle Whip, Sliced, ripe tomato, and sometimes, sliced onion.
Cheddar, and Colby Cheese - again a snack to consume ub frint if the TV.
Bread Dressing/Stuffing - My favorite part of a Thanksgiving meal.
Rutabbagas - 2nd favorite art of the Thanksgiving meal
Mom's homemade bread - hot with butter. Yeh my Mom made outstanding bread.
Pancakes - I don't even need to explain this one.
Ok, what are some of your favorite comfort foods, with a touch of history as to why?
