daily discussion post: comfort food

[dine]

I had a bad couple of weeks lately (things just finally got to me, and I was depressed and out of can) though happily things have brightened for me. when in the doldrums, I found myself frequently fixing things to eat that were "comfort foods" from childhood - hot cocoa, clam chowder, mashed potatoes, toast with lots of butter & marmalade or jam.

what about you? what are the things that a parent or loved relative/neighbor made that was comfort food for you? do you still eat it, and can it taste as good when you prepare it yourself? for example, there's no way I can make gravy half as good as my mom's was - but I still love mashed potatoes with butter & gravy (even if it's inferior to my memories).

I can relate to that, the last few weeks have been pretty bad for me too. I’m glad things are getting brighter for you though

It’s strange, I don’t remember what my childhood comfort food was. I’m not sure I had one, I’m still not sure if I have one now

thank you - I hope life improves for you soon as well
