What is your favorite kind of comfort food?

Don't laugh! I have a recipe for chocolate pasta. Though it goes with a game sauce, I don't see why

it couldn't become a dessert.

 
Real Mashed Potatoes topped with beef and gravy...

beef braised until it falls apart, then the liquid made into gravy using a nice browned roux with the meat all stirred in.

Also meat loaf, mashed potatoes or baked mac and cheese, and real succotash (corn cut off the cob, baby limas, cream, butter, cooked until tender).

Open faced roast beef or pork sandwiches, gravy and mashed potatoes (my grandmother always called this "restaraunt style", which seems so funny now, since it is so "homestyle" in this age)

Chicken or pork dressing (piggy pudding) with gravy. This was very popular in my family growing up. Basically a chicken or cheap pork roast was boiled to death with onions and celery, then the meat was picked off, mixed with bread, sage, eggs, and the broth, baked to succulence, and the rest of the broth made into gravy to top it with when served.

Pure comfort food.

 
Isn't it awful that we have to say "real" mashed potatoes these days...

and ask as we're ordering if the mashers are "real", and servers half the time not knowing what we're talking about, assure us they are "real" and get instant glopped onto the plate (which of course gets sent back immediately)...

 
My DH think it's disgusting but if I'm feeling down it's always meatloaf, mashed potatoes

and lima beans, mashed together in a big mound and mixed with some sour cream and salt and pepper.
It's sooooooo good!

 
How bizarre! I just popped in to see if I can use "almond milk" with regular

"cook & serve" jello pudding....or if it somehow needs the milk fat and/or protein to thicken.

Printed!
