NDR Poll: What's your favorite comfort food?

[mrs.jacinthe]

This poll brought to you by me most likely coming down with the flu (hoo-freaking-ray) and *craving* tortilla soup.  Or miso soup.  Or macaroni and cheese with bacon bits.

I'm totally with you on the mac and cheese. Sometimes I want chicken soup, other times tomato soup. But the one thing I absolutely must have when I am sick, although it's not food, is ginger ale. I must have it.

Feel better!

Oh no!

Seeing as how my mother can't cook, I don't really have any comfort food memories, ya know? My favorite homestyle dish is probably hash brown casserole. Just sit me down with a pan!! The only real comfort food memory I have is from high school, when I once made Tollhouse choc chip cookies in a 9x13 pan and ate most of the pan while watching chick flicks. Ahh, the days when we were all size 4s without trying! Yeah, I'd love to just sit down with a pan of those and eat however much I want.

Saltine crackers & mrs grass soup.

Also I always eat ice cream when I'm sick even though it makes me sicker.

Pancakes because the syrup soothes a sore throat.

Warm ginger ale! 

My favorite comfort food is chilaquiles. They're made with whatever is on hand and are never the same each time you make them. (Well, maybe they are for people who follow a recipe and didn't grow up making them.) Love. Love. Love.

I know, I know!  I'm freaking out.  I'm chugging tea like it's my job, overdosing on vitamin c, and I'm backing out of swimming this evening so that I can sit/sleep on the couch.  Rest is important, right?  If it's not better tomorrow morning, I'm going to the doctor.  It's probably just some 24-hour thing - I get those once or twice a year and it's been a LONG time since my last one.

Swedish meatballs over mashed potatoes or a huge honkin' slice of chocolate cake with a tall glass of cold milk

Rest & hydration! Hope it's just a fluke and you feel better tomorrow.

Mac & cheese, ice cream, plain lays potato chips & ginger ale, or the super salty kfc mashed potatoes & gravy.

[darby]

...oh! & feel better! What a bummer for the long weekend! or you can always pretend you're not really sick & it's just a reaction to all the paint fumes you've been breathing! ;-)

KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese. I like others but for comfort food, it has to be Kraft.

And PopTarts!
Feel better!!!

mac and cheese is an all time fave. but there are lots that i will enjoy. that's the problem w/people like me that live to eat, rather than eat to live....

My grandma's creamy ranch mashed potatoes.  I swear I could eat a vat of those suckers and not blink an eye.
