McDonalds Cheeseburgers. I don’t know why, but I love those little fuckers.

The ONLY time I eat fast food is for comfort…mine is the Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl’s Jr.
Non fast food items are macaroni and cheese, Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food and pretty much anything I can get at Claim Jumper!

Hot apple pie with homemade ice cream it’s like being at Grandma’s and all is right with the world.

Oh and cupcakes. Cupcakes are the new comfort food.

Any fast food – I’m a junkie. My favorite comfort food meals:
fish sticks and macaroni and cheese (you have to eat the mac-n-cheese out of the pan, too)
my mom’s fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy
a slinger – a St. Louis dish made of layered hashbrowns, hamburger patties, and eggs topped with chili, cheese and onions. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slinger, but don’t believe the hype – any variation from the ingredients I listed above is NOT a true slinger.
Damnit, Avitable! Now I’m hungry.

Roast chicken/beef/lamb, roast potatoes, roast pumpkin, cauliflower cheese, broccoli with hollandaise sauce and gravy over the whole lot.
Beef and Guiness Pie with mashed potatoes.
Tasty Cheese Doritos with gherkin dip.

Coffee. Good stuff made from dark (not medium) beans. Hot, strong, and sweet.
Hot wings. My mother’s pineapple chiffon cheesecake. Linguica. (It’s a Portuguese sausage.) Creme brulee. B&J’s Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. See’s dark chocolate covered caramels. A&W Root Beer Floats.
But mostly, the coffee.

Sheesh, how much space do I have. Cereal, McD’s cheeseburgers and fries, chocolate pudding, chocolate cake, chocolate candy, brownies–especially the kind that comes with the frosting, just about any kind of bread, mac and cheese, pizza–esp. those french bread pizzas. Yep, me and diabetes might be set up for a future date.

My creamed garlic smashed potatoes—I’ll give the recipe
Mac n cheese–mine although I will accept substitutes
potato chips
chocolate–it has to be dark and really good
ice cream—I tend to go for the very darkest chocolate or the best vanilla or B& Js Chunky Monkey or Cherry Garcia. I love it so much I do not have any in my house.
Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea-brewed loose leaf–nothing else compares.
Linguine carbonara

I’d say cheesy enchiladas followed by a big piece of cake with lots of super sugary frosting, and a can of coke.
