Favorite Comfort Foods?

[Gerudo Flygon]

We all have stressful times in our lives, and one of the easiest ways to relax is to just enjoy a good meal. So, what are your favorite comfort foods? I don't care if it's a dessert or the whole course meal, I just wanna know what foods help you guys keep on going.

For me, it'd have to be any kind of fancy alfredo pasta, In-N-Out Cheeseburgers, Philly Cheesesteaks, chocolate ice cream, and bacon Mac & Cheese(my favorite out of the bunch).

I like to make pasta w/ lots and lots of bechamel sauce and pepper

Oh, it's Australian? No wonder I've never heard of it. What is it made of? Based on the pic, I would guess Vanilla ice cream with a peanut butter and chocolate cover with granola on it?

Its the finest of Australian cuisine my child

The ice cream part is toffee and vanilla and the outside part is honey cookies. Its actually my favourite ice cream in Australia. When it was imported to New Zealand the bastards renamed it Cookie Crumble I mean come on that ruins half the fun.

I have a real weakness for Subway's cookies at the moment, particularly the Raspberry Whicte Chocolate Cheesecake variety. If it weren't so prohibitively expensive, I'd eat a huge bag of them for every meal.

Never really understood the concept of comfort foods but that's probably because pretty much all I eat could be considered comfort food LOL. I don't eat when I get stressed, but I do go for a smoke and any of red bull/monster/tea depending on what's available (priority in that order)

Frosting. But hey, I just eat frosting on its own sometimes.
Not the store-bought kind though.
Home mode chocolate or vanilla frosting is amazing.

Not much of a fan for frosting, sometimes it actually gives me a headache. I much prefer whipped cream.

I eat less when I'm stressed. But a drink of iced tea mixed with milk or soy milk will calm me down very effectively.

 

[Gerudo Flygon]

A nice cool glass of Jesus

Amen brother!

Bumping this to point out at Winco you can buy big chunks of milk or dark chocolate and it doesn't cost that much. It tastes pretty decent and when I'm just a little stressed and working on something I'll cut off a few pieces.

Also, new favorite, these! Easy to make, delicious, and I can't stop eating them. Too bad my braces get the caramel stuck in them sometimes.

Recipe!

When I'm sad, I'd like to eat some chips. Those usually make me happy again, but not quite always.

I indulge in pistachios funyuns pringles cajun peanuts BBQ Chips Porkrinds. It's all the same. LARRD

Oh, well, I don't like spicy foods. I much prefer normal Wheat Thins, though, I do think I tried and liked a normal red salsa Wheat Thin, but I can't remember.

I was recently tricked into eating fucking kale chips and discovered I love them, unfortunately (of course) they're ridiculously expensive (because kale or something) so whatever. I've also been known to eat through disgusting amounts of crackers and nothing else during bad times mentally. Unfortunately I'm getting kale chip cravings these days when I'm sad

I typically go for sugar when I'm stressed. Chocolate chip cookies and Tim Tams were recent partners in crime. I also drink a lot of tea during high intensity periods. Sometimes I forget to eat when I'm stressed actually, as Cresselia~~ alluded. It depends on the nature of the stress and if it's distracting/makes me very anxious (anxiety kills my appetite, depression kickstarts it).

Pomegranates and chocolate raisins all day. Problem is that chocolate raisins are unhealthy, and I'm mildly allergic to uncooked/non-pruned fruit, but they're still the most comforting snacks for me.

Nothing beats a big slice of chocolate fudge cake when I feel the need to gorge on something. Also I'm a savage when I have biscuits put in front of me.

Also both cream doughnuts and freshly-fried ring doughnuts are addictive. Ring doughnuts with no sugar coating but instead sprinkled with cinnamon is the best thing I have ever eaten.

When I need proper food but still want to comfort eat, my go-to picks are pies, pasties and ramen miso. Specifically, I like steak pies and chicken pies with shortcrust pastry, cornish pasties, steak bakes and thin-sliced beef ramen miso (all really filling and tasty).

Pizza and bread sticks, I also enjoy Chipotle quite a bit when it is loaded with guacamole.

I eat when I'm happy
I eat when I'm sad
I eat to celebrate
I eat to comfort

Mostly what I eat is cereal tbh but I eat it on a normal basis anyway, I just eat more of it when I'm stressed or sad.
