Comfort Foods ................?!


Question:

Comfort Foods ................?

What exactly does that conjure up for you when you hear the term?


Answers:
Feel good foods. These can be something that take you down memory lane - usually associated with triggering emotions of a happier time. Though research has showed it might not only be memory induced. Take chocolate for example - a great comfort food. Not because grandma made it, but because it triggers hormones in our body that make us happy. Maybe that is the key - whether it triggers hormones that makes us happy. Most comfort foods are high in fat and calories - ice cream, chocolate, cookies, etc...they tend to give us a euphoric boost. Though, what comes up usually comes down - making us crave more of these foods. Since they perk us up, they fall into the comfort food category....For a good time, call Ben & Jerry's....

Krabby patties

Good meals with family and friends. Smells that take me back to those memories. My fave is Pierogies. Takes me back to snowy nights in Pittsburgh, cooking in a warm kitchen, nice red wine with friends ...

Porridge
Toast and Marmalade
Big cup of very strong coffee.
jelly babies.
Pineapple rings
These are the things i could easily overdose on when im feeling down

toast and butter yum yum :o)

Foods that you eat when you are comfortable are you want to get comfortable with. For me some nice so delicious soy ice cream, some strawberries, a nice ripe mango. Sounds nice doesn't you should try the taste.

Pasta ...And biscuits dunked in tea or coffee.

Ice cream, burgers and fries, pies, toast, chocolate, a roaring fire, and a family.

Macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper, and chicken corn chowder! My brother, my mom, and I pretty much lived off of those foods when my parents divroced and we were living paycheck to paycheck, but it reminds me of being a kid again.

grandmas homemade mac and cheese!

A Full English Breakast with HP Sauce

Sour cream and onion chips.....help me to relax and get the brain "juices" flowing. I actually get more creative!

Chocolate milk and cheesies =)

mashed potato and gravy
cherry pie...yum

to be honest anything that makes me feel better and what makes whatever happened seem less important.. but i do like to eat chocolate,icecream, and things i shouldnt eat...

Exactly what it says...the way our culture rewards with food which creates eating disorders.

Grandma's mashed potatoes and her goulash
Mom's cream cheese/walnut/pineapple side dish and her jello
For me it's something like mac and cheese or spaghettios. I never got to eat those as a kid.

Reminds me of things mom fixed when I was growing up,apple pie, stew,chicken noodle soup,chili,or real mashed potatoes and gravy.

chocolate and ice cream

Any junk food, pizza, burgers, chinese etc etc.

Well, mine are:
*most chocolate
*crisps... loads and loads of crisps
*ice cream
*biscuits

Anything thats unhealthy really.

chocolate, cheesecake and crisps and lots and lots of mint choc chip icecream........mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
