You sound just like my husband, except for he beer. I can drink him under the table! LOL!

Paella is one of the most heavenly seafood dishes, but it also has sausage and chicken.

It is a Spanish medley of clams, mussels, lobsters, shrimp, sausage and chicken cooked in a big pot with saffron rice. It sounds a bit like the southern low boil, doesn't it?

I have to make it because there aren't to many places that make it the way I like it. But making the rice not too soggy is the tricky part.

Sounds like a gumbo... As long as the sausage is not too spicy, I'm sure I would dig it... Yumm!

You know, you used to be able to buy that at Kiev on 2nd Ave and E. 7th Street in the East Village.

It's actually a Russian thing, I think. But everyone I know whose grandparents came from Russia know what it is.

Borscht is a pretty good comfort food too.

Well, I like egg noodles, I like cottage cheese, and I like sugar....

JUST NOT ALL MIXED TOGETHER!

 

[GigiBowman]

lol, I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in Queens and on Long Island and that was eaten quite a lot (the noodles, cottage cheese & sugar)

and here is another I learned to love as a child

Bananas and Sour Cream with Sugar lol OMG it's like I died and went to heaven when I taste that taste....only it's really bad on the waist line!

as a child I also remember my parents taking me to the original Vincents in Little Italy. And that is where I discovered Fried Calamari with black hot sauce and hard bread with lemon. To this day it is my favorite food.

Mom always makes --on special occassions-- escargots with lots of garlic, lemon and butter.

My dear passed Aunt Evelyn, (one year ago she fell down the stairs and died. A sad way to go, doing laundry --I always feel that's how I'll end up too when I go down the basement stairs with those laundry buckets)....well, she used to make something we called Weeds. Which is essentially Savoy Cabbage Soup with Pepperoni and White Kidney beans. OMG that is the taste of life.

Then there's mom's Sauce
and Dad's deer meat stew
lamb chops....

I can go on and on.....food is life

I guess I am the only one that enjoys a good bowl of Cereal

 

[GigiBowman]

I wanted to add this to my list.

I shied away from it for years and one day I opened my mind and my pallet and now, though I can't call it a comfort food, I will say I CRAVE it....

Sushi.

Yumm

 

[del]

meatloaf,mashed potatoes and green beans(from a can)
homemade mac and cheese
chicken soup
lasagna
beef stew

 

[random3434]

Oh, I can't believe I forgot to say Vegetarian Chili!

I make it sooooooo good, spicy enough, but not too much to burn your mouth off.



And warm french bread right out of the oven, so the butter is melting as soon as you put it on (REAL butter of course...)

Add a salad (with dry blue cheese crumbles and a vingerette dressing) and

Oh baby, what a great meal!

 

[Gem]

- toast - just good bread, butter...maybe some strawberry or raspberry jam
- grilled cheese
- insalada caprese: tomato, basil, mozzarella salad with some good olive oil and balsamic vinegar
- hot chocolate with whipped cream
- a good salad with croutons and blue cheese
