What is your comfort food?

Gummy bearrrsss!! Haribo brand. The quality varies from bag to bag, so I like the fresh softer ones. I eat this every night.

Publix Birthday Cake ice cream.

Ben n Jerry's Cheesecake ice cream.

Arroz con picadillo - Cuban meal of ground beef stewed in a tomato sauce. It's kind of like a dry ground beef spaghetti sauce. Mix and eat with rice. Fun fact! When I was a child, I had to eat this meal every week on Tuesdays. Btw, I'm autistic.

Grilled Cheese, PB&J, and KD

Honestly.. Taco Bell lol. (when done correctly) Preparing food is much too much most days for me.

Crinkle cut French fries, air fried Cover it in smoked shredded chicken Cover that in cheese sauce Throw on a nice, light shredded cheese blend Cover it in bacon Slather BBQ sauce all over it Die of a heart attack at 25.

Kettle corn! I learned how to make it myself in my stovetop popcorn spinner pot. Super easy, helps mitigate migraines (salt and sugar help raise my chronic low blood pressure), and has a very unique texture that I love.

Right now they are coconut butter, peanut butter, carob chips, protein bars, and beef sticks.

Beef maruchan ramen. Basically almost entirely what I survived on until I was 25.
I used to do chicken + mushroom flavour when I was very small but they discontinued it.

Carelian pies.

Pasta and/or curry.

Anything, all food is comfort food, even Indian curries

Spinach feta quiche or Käsespätzle (a special kind of pasta, fried with onions and cheese). Some days I need a chicken nugget burger from Burger King. There's just something about that soft burger bun with just slightly crispy chicken nuggets that I crave sometimes.

Comfort food is a lot more about texture than taste to me.

Crackers and hommus. Not exactly sufficient when I'm very hungry

Salty snacks, fried or baked 😁. Failing that, those tiny 7" pizzas that fit into my Ninja, ready in literally 8 mins

Used to like preparing food, but seems like such a hassle now

Try putting a tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar into your oatmeal

Raw Carrots with Mayonnaise/Curry-Dip. Easy to make and tastes identical every Time. Also Potatochips

Same. Oatmeal with fruit, same reason. Plus I use frozen fruit, so it's easy to stock up on.

Tnx for sharing. This made me happy :)

CW: meat

Chicken tendies. I finally figured out to make them efficiently and in-bulk from scratch, so I just make as many as I can at a time and freeze the rest for later. They're great in sandwiches too.

The tendies last for like a week until I finish them. My understanding is that they're good in a freezer for about a month, but I always recommend checking food safety facts for yourself.

On the day I'm actually cooking them, I'll set aside one breast, butterfly it, and cook the entire piece as one massive slab of chicken. The one I just did took up the whole plate!

The largest chicken "tendie" I ever did was back before I went to engineering school and I had time to do sous vide. I used sous vide to cook the largest chicken breast I could find all the way through, then fried the outside and breading to golden brown. It was like a chicken steak, like a full inch thick slab of comfort. It was obscenely good.
