What's your ultimate comfort food?!
Answers: I'm a cook and preparing various types of international foods sometimes made me miss 'home food' dishes. On those days when you just feel bad about everything and need the comfort of home, what's your ultimate comfort food that can put that smile back on your face?

This thing my mother used to make me as a kid, thinly sliced corned beef in a white sauce on toast. That's it.
My tastes have become more sophisticated now; I haven't had this in many years. But just thinking about this brings some nostalgia for those simple things mom used to make.
dumplings of all kinds!
Homemade veggie -n- beef soup with oyster crackers!
Really good home made chicken and veg soup with fresh crusty bread.
The potato soup my mom makes. or Rendang chicken.
Chicken n dumplins just like my cousin Danny makes. Mmmm. Keeps Georgia on my mind!
I know how you feel, being a pastry chef and making all kinds of French pastry everyday makes me want things like yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting. And mac and cheese. Or Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas--that's why I can't move out of New Mexico, I'll miss the fresh Green Chile too much!!!
mashed potatoes and gravy
My ma's peppercorn chicken. She invented the food and it is the most awesome thing I have ever tasted
Soft plain white carbs: thin spaghetti (not al-dente) with butter or olive oil, mashed potatoes with instant gravy, basmati rice, or tamago-gohan, my Japanese mother used to make this for me and now I make it often for my son: cook round rice without salt, then two minutes before it's done (the rice cooker shows the time) I break a raw egg into a bowl, add a generous splosh of kikkoman soy sauce, and beat until smooth. As soon as the rice cooker beeps take a good paddle-ful of steaming hot rice, add to the bowl with the egg-soy, mix thoroughly and eat with a spoon. In fact, eating anything with a spoon makes it more comforting to me.
