But for the full effect of mac & cheese to really kick in, I need to quarry the toasted encrustations from the walls of casserole dish. You know what I mean, Vern?

[Matsubara]

12. My mothers Meatloaf.

Even better, she used to make a meatloaf covered in macaroni & cheese. You could FEEL your arteries clogging as you ate it but it was gooooooooood!

BTW- she doesn't make it anymore due to the health impact of it. (I loved the 60's- nothing was bad for you back then!)

[Redstone]

29. Meatloaf. Covered with Mac & Cheese. Can I marry your mother, or at least have her

adopt me? Please?

Redstone

[Wcross]

38. My Aunt made the best "Meat loaf"- get this.

She would flatten out the meatloaf, put sliced ham and mozzarella cheese on top and then roll it up. It was sort of like "chicken cour-don blue" but with hamburger rather than chicken. It had to be really bad for you health wise but it was soooo good!

[Tektonik]

44. That meatloaf would make some killer sandwiches

:9

[libnnc]

76. delete wrong place

[likesmountains 52]

13. Grilled cheese sandwich...

[sarge43]

Dressed with lots of real butter and sauteed onions.

Yeah I know, but I'll have a smile on my face when the big one hits.

15. Insant sugar-free chcolate pudding.

Anything else and I'd be a Hindenburg sized (and gas-filled) blimp because that's all I've got left apart from TV. :rofl:

I've tried chocolates from all over the world and many 'boutique' American chocolates but I always come back to plain old Hershey Bars or Kisses

:shrug:

[rug]

19. Pudding.

[Nicole]

20. Chicken and dumplings.

It reminds me of the days when grandma could fix anything from skinned knees to broken hearts. She did her best work while I was eating chicken & dumplings at her kitchen table.

[Wcross]

39. MMMMMM, chicken & dumplin's!

I love that stuff. It has to be served with peas and corn on the cob though!

[Nicole]

51. Hmmmmmm

Corn on the cob? Yes!
Peas? No!

My grandma always served it with green beans that you snap & clean yourself.

Nachos? O, rly?

[Matsubara]

54. Especially living in Japan. Mexican food is not big here.

I have to shop around to find tortilla chips, salsa & jalapenos at a decent price. Sometimes I go to the Costco on the other side of town for jack cheese. Otherwise I have to make do with the mozzarella from the local supermarket. (most stores here only have very few kinds of cheese) So I load up the chips with the cheese, salsa, jalapenos, green onions, sometimes a little beef if I have some left over from tacos the night before, then cook it all up in the toaster oven.

It's da bomb.

If we want mexican food at a restaurant, it's almost an hour drive, and it will run us at least $40 for just a really basic meal that would be much less at a US chain.

But the place we go to "Chili Joe" in Fukuoka, is really fairly good. Not as spicy as real Tex-Mex, but they use very good quality ingredients. The tacos have excellent shredded beef, not ground.

I grew up in El Paso, so I'll always have a soft spot in my head for Mexican food.

[Elidor]

56. Wow, that sounds like the worst place on earth for Tex-Mex

Or maybe second to Siberia. Yes, that puts it all in perspective. On the other hand, all that great sushi! Mmmmmm.

[Matsubara]

57. I suppose. People here don't eat sushi as often as Americans think.

We probably have sushi about 4 times a year. It's kind of more like party food or hors d'oerves (sp?) A typical non-fancy dinner eating out might consist of:

Udon or ramen

Tonkatsu (breaded/fried prok cutlet) and rice

Okonomiyaki (like a pancake, but with lots of cabbage, pork & seafood in it, slathered with sauce and mayo)

donburi (flavored beef or chicken with onions on a bowl of rice)

a bento with fish, veggies & rice.

Chanpon (like ramen, but with a bunch of cabbage and seafood on top YUM!)

yakisoba (like stir-fried lo mein noodles)

yakiniku (korean-style barbecued strips of beef)

"Western" foods - they are Japanized, but pretty good - Omu rice, an omelet with ketchup-flavored rice and chicken inside

hamburg (basically a small meatoaf)

steak

sandwiches

pizza (watch out for the more oddball ones - common toppings are potatoes, corn, mayonnaise, shrimp)

Costco actually has the most "American"-tasting and low-priced pizza in town.

I like all the foods here, but none of them are really my comfort foods. They do eat a LOT of rice, at almost every meal...

[Elidor]

58. I have sushi twice a month

And I live in the middle of nowhere in landlocked Tennessee. We have a nice little sushi place with very fresh fish and an excellent chef. It's a real blessing in these parts. I'd it eat more often if I could afford it.

[Kali]

64. you would be surprised

I had a plate of the most delicious tacos durados in Okinawa in 1975 and my father and his Russian wife found Mexican food in Siberia - last summer!- green chili chicken enchiladas is what he had if I recall the story correctly.

[Elidor]

75. Mexican in Siberia???

:wow:
Those chilies had to travel quite a ways.

[Kali]

80. Maybe they were from India or China

Seems to me it is the corn tortillas that are the hardest thing to come by. I remember when he and my mother traveled to Russia back in the USSR days and us trying to mail tortilla chips and canned salsa.

Mexican food - once it gets its hooks into you you will always need it!

[Reverend_Smitty]

43. I have two comfort meals...

1) Pork roll with cheese sandwich on a kaiser roll with a side order of cheese fries

2) a DeLorenzo's pizza

when I'm enjoying those meals, I instantly feel better

[flvegan]

45. In season, Sierra Nevada Summerfest

Out of season, Flying Dog Doggie Style.

Hee hee...Doggie Style.

[SPKrazy]

46. Too many things dammit!

and i need too much comfort

mashed potatoes
ice cream
cheesecake
mexican food, nachos, chips and salsa
sausage bean chowder
warm chocolate chip cookies and milk

and on and on

:cry:

[Wcross]

47. How about some fried chicken folks?

What about white beans,greens and green beans cooked southern style with corn bread on the side?

[stuntcat]

48. grits

:loveya:

(edited for to add lovely pic)

[GenDem]

49. Roast beef and mashed potatoes

covered in home made gravy from the drippings. Preferred vegetable accompaniments would be winter squash or green bean casserole.

[Matsubara]

55. Gravies are a good one.

Nothing like a good gravy. And the spuds give you an excuse to eat it!

:)

[YankeyMCC]

50. Mashed potatoes and a pork chop smoothered in lentils

It's a dish my mother makes...and and it's got to be topped with lots of grated parmesan cheese.

But there are really lots of other choices.

PB&J with a glass of chocolate milk

Grilled cheese and tomato soup or grilled cheese with slices of tomato in it.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

52. Pancakes

Gotta have me a short stack.

Or 2.

:D

[Scout1071]

53. Chicken fried steak w/ mashed pots and green beans.

Gotta have it on occassion.

[Generic Brad]

59. Hormel chili over rice and cheese

If I were living west of the Rockies it would be Denison's chili. If I were in Hawaii it would be Zippy's chili.

[Catshrink]

61. Costco Peach Pie.

mmmmm. Their cherry pie is pretty good, too.

[Adsos Letter]

62. actually...I'll second that...

I could eat one by myself...easily...but let us not go there.

[KitchenWitch]

65. Grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup.

[Tyler Durden]

66. Took long enough for SOMEONE to post it!

Grilled American Cheese on White Bread using BUTTER, and Campbell's Tomato Soup reconstituted with half milk/half water.

Served on a TV tray in front of the tube watching Soupy Sales; then you're a TRUE MEMBER of the "Bird Bath Club."

[KitchenWitch]

67. oh HELL yeah!

:)

[Courtesy Flush]

68. Home cooking

I love a good roast with rice and gravy, black eyed peas, turnips. Basic, but heavenly

[ThomCat]

Or Peanut butter. Or Stuffed Grapeleaves. :9

[LostinVA]

[kwassa]

71. Chile verde burrito and a beer

[KamaAina]

[Bake]

73. Maker's Mark and Marlboros

Does that count?

Bake

[Missy Vixen]

74. Garlic mashed potatoes with gravy n/t

[gemdem]

77. It's all comfort food, ain't it?

At least that's how I approach it. If don't make me feel good, I don't eat it -- from the morning oatmeal to the evening's dinner. It's a wonder that I'm not large as a house. :-)

[MissMillie]

82. gmta

Like I posted above, I can find comfort in just about any food. And yes, because of that, I'm constantly in the battle of the bulge.

:hi:

[libnnc]

78. Something fried. Something starchy. Something sweet.

And something to make me feel warm and fuzzy inside...like a Ketel One martini, slightly dirty, w/ 3 olives.

That about covers it.

[LadyAziz]

79. Rice

well salted with a meat side dish

[MsKandice01]

81. Ham and Cheese Sandwich...grilled with lots of butter

Oh, the yummy goodness.

[anarch]
