Comfort Food

Its late, you're tapping away in front of you monitor; vegging in front of the TV screen, watching a movie; purusing a favourite book/ periodical; hanging out with friends/loved ones & enjoying some fine herb; what's your comfort food of choice?

Personally, I prefer:

popcorn (light on the butter and salt, please)
tortilla chips and salsa (especially the jalapena variety!)
fresh fruit (in season)
Pepperidge Farm mint milanos
Ben & Jerry's NY Super Fudge Chunk

And you?

I've recently developed an unfotunate ice-cream habit (roughly about the same time the off-license downstairs developed a freezer- not sure if there's a link).

Any Haagen Dasz with chocolate in. And a fair few of the others too.
Or delivery veg pizza with lots of chilli.

And (on a snackier note) that peppermint Ritter Sport. Eat the whole thing in a couple of minutes, and it feels like an entire meal. Yum.

Any time I'm not feeling well emotionally, or intellectually stressed, I take a shot of honey, works wonders for me. The flavor, plus the tactile sensation of swirling it around my mouth and swallowing it is very relaxing.

Today having been a low-grade bit-bored anxiety-about-impending-total-change-of-living-circumstances kind of day, I have consumed a whole packet of chocolate ginger biscuits.

For a real heavy duty life crisis it has to be Heinz chocolate sponge (the in-a-tin kind) and Ambrosia custard (or at least a double pepperoni pizza). Working up to that, will be there by the end of the week...

Orange-flavored chocolate of any kind.
Pizza or Chinese food.

My comfort foods often switch.
But lately I've been craving potatos (mashed, baked, whatever) something fierce.

Erm. I seem to be a bit odd in this. As I sit here, reading Barbelith, I tend to eat tomatoes by the dozen - chopped up into tomato salad (with capers - yum!) or just as they come. And when I'm down, my comfort food is pickles. I can get through a jar of pickled onions or gerkhins (sp?) in half an hour. Which can't be good for me.

Cinnamon toast.
Mmmmm

A recent exhibit of sheer gluttony found me scarfing down six pieces in one sitting.

nutella, I am absolutely on the tortilla tip. Hot, hot, hot, salsa too.

Anything with the peanut butter/chocolate combo too.

Currently its natchos and homemade salsa. But its usually poutine during the weekend daytime or home made redwine for nightime computing

I go through phases- I once went through a "whole jars of chillis" phase. And there was a year or so after leaving college when I'd get my giro on a Saturday morning, eat a box of choc-ices and a packet of Rice Krispies, then go to the pub. I was invariably sick.

But then, I was smoking a lot more dope back then.

If you work in London, like Sushi and are feeling flush for cash and haven't picked up a sushi-box from Itsu on Wardour St..... Well, there's no hope for you.

Gherkins. Ooooh yes. Gherkins.

And fresh, buttered toast with slices of tomato on it, with lots of pepper. That's fine.

I would say kebabs, but that would be Sick and Wrong. And I'm not drunk enough yet.

10:26 / 24.09.02
Carbohydrates + cheese - eg. pasta, cheese on toast, pizza
Egg fried rice

Pralines and cream Haagen Dazs, eaten using salt and vinegar Pringles as scoops. Accompanied by rum and coke. (This is for when you're stressed but it's not affecting your digestion, obviously, unless you find vomiting relieves anxiety.)

15:39 / 24.09.02
That's probably the sickest thing I've ever read on Barbelith. Well done, fridge.

[er, this from someone who always thought tinned spaghetti and apple pie would go well together]

I comfort cook- I make dinner; stews; meatballs; salads. Chocolate's just too everyday but sometimes if I don't feel I can cook I eat ice cream and that really depends on the flavoursome mood I'm in.

Mom's arroz con pollo (when I can get it)
that sad excuse for macaroni and cheese that they serve in the dining halls (I'm addicted to the stuff)
Gardetto's Original Snack Mix
Archway Pecan Ice Box cookies
Hard salami and muenster cheese sandwiches
my boyfriend's stir fried linguini (yum)

gah. I can hear my arteries screaming for mercy, and I haven't even eaten anything yet.

Apples.

Well, I've just picked some apples.

Boxes and boxes of apples.

I'll get bored of them soon. I will.

Anyone want some apples?

Karika - get creative. Make jam and pies. Or cider.

10:26 / 25.09.02
Mmmm Cider, specially if its cloudy.
Comfort food, I can get through a whole packet of Rice Cakes, slightly salted of course, in an hour. Stinks the place out, has a texture like cardboard, but *munch munch* can't stop eating them .
Also peanut butter sandwiches, they're just the thing at 2am.

Kopi, I think you meant to post
my boyfriend's stir fried linguini (yum)
in May Tricks' Interesting Euphemisms thread...

Although I can see why your mind drifted that way after thinking of the hard salami.

Nice to be reading you again, though!

Kraft processed cheese mainly consists of reconstituted whey powder you know. I feel that it should be renamed to let you know it.

I'm only into it for the salt, they can call it whatever they want.
