Comfort food.
A topic I study and explore from time to time. Take a poll.
In fact, i asked this question just last December.
I was with a friend on Saturday and we were talking about eating in response to stress.
His choice? a pint of Ben and Jerry’s (i forget which flavor)
It’s a new school year.
Grilled cheese on stove and plate below.
“Comfort food is traditionally eaten food which often provides a nostalgic or sentimental feeling to the person eating it,[1] frequently with a high carbohydrate level and a simple preparation.[2] The nostalgic element most comfort food has, may be specific to either the individual or a specific culture.[3]” Wikipedia
Yes, that is a slice of summer tomato on Laura’s Birthday grilled cheese dinner. I asked her what she would like me to make for her birthday (they were in town for Celeste and Shawn’s wedding weekend)
That looks really tasty.
My special comfort food is dark chocolate coated licorice bullets! I ate a 400gm pack the other day and they worked wonders 🙂
I have not ever tasted dark chocolate coated licorice bullets but will endeavor to search them out and eat some and think of you. Where are they made? Going on a search. I like licorice. I like dark chocolate. But I have never eaten them combined.
Hi Ruth, they are fairly common in most supermarkets here. I bought a Hershey bar recently as I had heard about them on American TV shows but had never tried one. I did enjoy it 🙂
Good luck in finding the bullets!
Mine is akuri on bread (akuri is an Indian style scrambled egg, and verrry nice), or buttered toast dipped in masala chai..
Mmmm. Thanks for sharing your comfort foods. Bread seems to be the basis for many comfort foods. Buttered toast sounds great!
you have classy and elegant blog. No words!

Listened to your lovely piano melodies tonight and “liked” your page.
Ruth – My sincerest appreciation and gratitude.
Mine would have to biscuits to dunk in coffee, but Laura’s looks pretty good too.
Those grilled cheese sandwiches look delicious. I can’t say I have a specific comfort food. All food comforts me.
I like Sue’s comment: all food comforts me! 🙂 These grilled cheese make me want to jump into the computer!!! 🙂
Great photo of this comfort food! Delicious post, Ruth.
Grilled cheese with tomato is the best! Great choice of comfort food.
Sure seems to taste good and feel good in the preparation and the consumption!
One of the best comfort foods ever!
I do love a good grilled cheese sandwich, Ruth, and yours set my mouth to watering. Still, if we’re talking comfort foods, it may surprise you to learn that mine is pasta. 😀
Yummmmm !
