McDonalds Cheeseburgers. I don't know why, but I love those little fuckers.
Comments by Nobody™
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!
Comments by Hilly
Hot apple pie with homemade ice cream it's like being at Grandma's and all is right with the world.
Comments by Fantastagirl
Oh and cupcakes. Cupcakes are the new comfort food.
Comments by Hilly
Lately it's been seefood... all the food I see comforts me... but traditionally it would be...
A Double Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese
A Chocolate Shake
Entenmann's Chocolate Chip Crumb Loaf
Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked
Comments by NYCWD
Chopped liver.
Gefiltefish with (red) horseradish.
Chicken soup with kreplach.
I'm hungry.
Comments by Rattling the Kettle
Protein shakes. Oops, wrong question...lol
I love cold sweet bell peppers with homemade hummus. And I would never starve as long as I have apple slices to dip in peanut butter.
Comments by Karen Sugarpants
Mac and cheese, french fries, pizza, mashed potatoes, cap'n crunch.

Comments by Meg
Sorry - I submitted twice.
Comments by Gwen
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.
Comments by Gwen
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.
Now could you come over here and make them all for me! I have a cold and I need the comfort...
Comments by Dee
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.
Comments by Winter
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.
Comments by Sarah is Ok
oh this is too easy. Ramen.
Comments by yoshi
Chicken livers from Lee's chicken with Louisiana hot sauce.
a "super-duper" from submarine house ... a pound and a half of roast beef, grilled peppers (red, green, and yellow) , grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms. That Motherfucker costs 20 bucks, and is 18 inches long ( 2 inches shy of being your cock).
And ... I'm with Hilly ...A double Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to grab a cup from my dresser .... and make a "candle".
Comments by Zom
Freshly made chocolate pudding from a double-broiler stove-top cooker, slightly cooled but still warm.
Comments by Dave2
I suppose you would like for one of the ladies to say semen?
But I am not that kind of lady, so I will have to go with the standard chocolate, any will do really as long as it is not cheap generic chocolate. Hershey is King!
Comments by Kay
hmmm.....
Roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, Ben and Jerry's caramel chocolate crunch, Strawberry/Lime cider, oreo cookies dipped in coffee.
Comments by DaDuck
Oh and a greasy cheeseburger from this little joint 4 miles from me and their fries dipped in mayo! People gag on that but come on, if you like potato salad then why not?
I also like to eat regular Doritos dipped in sour cream and salsa or wheat thins with cream cheese and chives.
Damn it is almost 2 a.m. and I have none of these things! Damn insomnia!
Comments by Kay
hm, i like slow cooked roast pork w/mashed potatoes and green beans, or pot roast, or kal bi chicken with rice and mac salad (hey, Hawaii girl up in here) or pork tonkatsu.
Comments by Crys
omg, it's 1 in the morning and I am f*cking starving!! Is this like 976-FOOD or what?!
I *love* hard frosting, except in my case it was the bday layer cakes my mom would make. Way better the next morning, for breakfast.
Spaghetti with creamy tomato sauce. French bread with Brie and strawberry jam. Dark chocolate-covered pretzels.
Av's head on a plate, for making me food-horny at one in the morning!
Comments by DebbieS
Just good ole home cooking, the simple stuff grandma makes.
Slow cooked roasts with mash potatoes and gravy, "pattes de conchons," homemade pies, pasta au gratin, etc.
Comments by Zanthera
Pizza. Mashed potatoes. Meatloaf. Tyson Southern Fried Chicken Nuggets.
Comments by Mr. Fabulous
LOL I'm always finding new ones but here are some of the tried and true
KFC chicken dredged in their mashed potatoes and gravy
meatloaf and mashed potatoes
tuna casserole(I make a KILLA TC)
A Big Mac
A Big Buford from Rally's which is the same as Checkers out west
really good French bread dipped in broth from steaming mussels in wine and olive oil with fresh thyme and basil and lots of garlic and butter
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'll stop now cause I could go on a looooong time ;-)
Comments by Turnbaby
Hostess Snoballs. Oh, and McDonald's Shamrock shakes (but those are only available 1x per year). Oh, and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. Oh, and almost anything as long as it's NOT chicken cordon pus.

Comments by Hallie
I drink very sweet coffee every morning and sometimes I think I couldn't live without it. But you asked about comfort not dire necessity didn't you?
I'd say cheesy enchiladas followed by a big piece of cake with lots of super sugary frosting, and a can of coke.
Comments by Em
English sausages, mashed potatoes made with tonnes of butter, peas and thick "Bisto" gravy followed by B&Js ice cream (just about any variety).
Oh and wine, lots and lots of wine. Hey wine is absolutely a comfort food!
Comments by Penelope
A) Beer
B) Shepherd's Pie (but only if made with real, hand-mashed potatoes and free-range, organic shepherd)
C) Cherry Garcia
D) Beer
Comments by Hoatzin
My favorite comfort food would have to be homemade Mac and Cheese.
Then in the fast food department, Jack In the Box, Sourdough hamburgers.
They don't have Jack In The Box here in Florida. That makes me sad.
Comments by Trishk
Enchiladas. Mashed potatoes. Chicken soup. And yeah, I am with you on the birthday cake.
Comments by Nina
French fries dipped in ranch dressing, Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby, hambugers with mayo and pickels from McDonalds and boxed mac n' cheese. A health nut I am not.

Comments by Christie
There are too many, overall, but last week I had curry that made me actually feel better emotionally for several hours after I ate it.
Comments by golfwidow
Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese, no question. With fries. And a Coke. And then a hot caramel sundae.
And cigarrettes for dessert. Technically not food, but still...
Comments by Finn
Bagels, pizza, pastry.
Comments by Robin
pizza–how did I miss that?
Comments by Turnbaby
Japanese schoolgirls. I love to dip them in soy sauce and wasabi and lick them clean.
I've never bought the grocery store birthday cakes, but I'm tempted every time I pass. Actually, I think the only comfort foods I have are miso soup and Campbell's chicken soup - the old condensed version.

my aunt keeps campbell's tomato soup in her cupboard at all times for me. she knows that no matter what, all i need is a grilled cheese and tomato soup made with milk and i am a happy, happy girl.
of course her thanksgiving dinner rocks my socks off, but for pure comfort food there is nothing like that grilled cheese sammich.
sigh.

Comments by whall
Poppy's right. Your vagina is showing.
Comfort food: SOS on toasted english muffins, gyoza, and, always lasagna.
Comments by Tracy Lynn
A bowl of Cheez-Its sprinkled with garlic salt. A baked potato with more butter and sour cream than potato. Ruffles potato chips dipped in French Onion dip. Grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. Pretzels or crackers and cheese. Nachos. Salt and Vinegar potato chips (preferably Humpty Dumpty). OOOOH, an Italian Sandwich from Amatos (it's a Maine thing). Okay. I'll stop now.
Comments by Laura
1) Thanksgiving.
2) Roast with carrots, potatoes, celery, onion and my dad's gravy.

crys - you can't simply say that and not kick up a recipie!!! hello at midnightcliff dot com
MWAH!
Comments by hello haha narf
Nobody, I like them without the pickles and mustard.
Hilly, now I'm drooling. I LOVE the Double Western from Carl's Jr. I miss them so much!
Fantastagirl, ooh, that does sound tasty.
NYCWD, we are on the exact same wavelength, I see.
Rattling the Kettle, wow. I'm totally not hungry anymore!
Karen, peppers and hummus? Hm.
Amanda, I could eat an entire box of Cap'n Crunch.
Tori, you don't like warm, soft and creamy stuff from penises?
Jay, like a Pizza Hut MeatLovers?
Mary, asparagus and "comfort food" were two concepts I'd never put together before.
Meg, I love a good grilled cheese sandwich!
Gwen, I lived in Saint Louis and never heard of slinger. It sounds like I missed out!
Dee, gherkin dip? Does it taste like pickles?
Winter, I love creme brulee - the crispy and creamy combination really go well.
Sarah, so, do you like chocolate or something?
Yoshi, good ramen, though, right? Not the cheap stuff.
Zom, there you go, reminding me of Carl's Jr again. I'm so jealous!
Dave, I was totally hoping your answer would be a double cheeseburger.
Kay, I said comfort food, not protein for hair growth and good skin!
DaDuck, mashed potatoes and gravy are always good.
Kay, I always dip my fries in mayo.
Crys, what's pork tonkatsu?
DebbieS, cake is always better the next morning from the fridge!
Zanthera, I'm not a roast fan, but the potatoes, definitely.
Mr. Fabulous, so they have to be Tyson to be comfort food, eh?
Turnbaby, well, damn. I'm coming to your house for some garlic smashed potatoes!
Hallie, I love the Shamrock shakes!
Em, comfort and dire necessity can go hand in hand sometimes.
Penelope, I've never had English sausages.
Hoatzin, free-range shepherds are very important.
TrishK, yeah, I miss Jack in the Box, too. I liked them in Saint Louis.
Comments by Avitable
Nina, I knew there was a reason I liked you.
Jen, what about fries and mayo?
Britt, you mean cottage cheese isn't your comfort food?
Maria, I'm only a fan of beef stew if it's less watery and more chunky.
Christie, we've got a lot of votes for cold, hard icing.
Golfwidow, curry? Curry? Sigh.
Finn, girl after my own heart, except for the ciggies.
Robin, I knew bagels for you, definitely.
Grant, you should buy a grocery store birthday cake, then put it in the fridge and eat it for breakfast the next morning.
Tab, french onion dip and Fritos for me. Ruffles break too easily.
Poppy, didn't you hear? I have a vagina! And I can't believe there aren't more foods that make you go NOM NOM.
Heather, sour cream pancakes? Are those like potato latkes?
Maman, a lot of people have mac and cheese as comfort food. I've just never gotten into it.
Melanie, ooh, that sounds tasty.
Tracy, I've been thinking of Krispy Kreme every morning. I might have to go get some one of these days.
Gina, not french fries with mayo? That's even better.
Jer, I could go for some hot blackberry pie and ice cream right about now.
Hello, what do you eat if you want comfort food and your aunt's not home?
Angie, well, there you go, then.
Mindy, "Violet, you're turning violet, Violet!"
Whall, the Whopper will always be superior to the Big Mac.
Tracy, what's SOS?
Laura, so you like salty food, eh?
Sybil, filet mignon . . . mmmmmmm.
AmyD, you probably forgot to hit submit. Good job!
Karl, pie lovers unite!
Robin, poutine?
Othurme, my stomach's growling now.
Crystal, who needs a reason?

"What's your comfort food?"
I answered the question you asked.
"What are you comfort foods?"
That's a different question.
Comments by Poppy
TMP, I'm always up for overdosing on chocolate.
Jessica, how about Avitable with whipped cream?
Kailey, pineapple pizza with sourdough crust sounds very intriguing.
Poppy, smart ass. And you're right! "What are you comfort foods?" doesn't even make sense! :D
Comments by Avitable
I hate yo
(hehehe, dangle!)
Comments by Poppy
Hot fudge sundae
Linguine with olive oil and parmesan cheese
Chicken pot pie
Hostess chocolate cupcakes

Comments by Hoosier Girl
Comfort food - in no particular order
Fettuccine Alfredo, banana bread, apples, cantaloupe, strawberries, pecan swirls, home baked chocolate chip cookies, apple pie ala mode, mozzarella sticks and cheese fries.
Comments by Cissa Fireheart
SOS is creamed chipped beef. You put it on toast. It's a mess hall staple, and the soldiers called it shit on a shingle, SOS. It is similar to biscuits and gravy, but not the same.
Scrambled eggs on toast with SOS=HEAVEN.
Comments by Tracy Lynn
Cake, any kind except those with nuts - and with custard so any icing goes all soft and gooey.
If I'm near Starbucks then a cinnamon dolce latte with cake is even better.
Comments by gail
Pizza, New York style unless I'm home (Ohio) and can get Marions (man, I can taste a deluxe now *sigh*)
Anything with icing on it
Krispy Kreme glazed cream filled
BK Bacon Double Cheeseburger
Jelly Belly sours
My SIL's Mac n Cheese
Anything my Italian aunt makes (seriously, it's not Thanksgiving or Christmas without some of her lasagna)
Comments by Jhianna
Yeah, I have had a chocolate coma before. You wake up with a hangover like feeling, which is not fun.
I have learned to keep it to a few pounds a day, just to prevent that from happening again.
Hopefully I will have my tolerance up again so I can have more.....
Comments by themuttprincess
I'm going to guess this will go down as one of the stranger ones, but I love the Turnip Cakes from anyone of my favorite Chinese restaurants that do dim sum.
Comments by othurme
Poppy, yo so silly!
HG, now I want to go buy some Hostess cupcakes!
Cissa, mozzarella sticks are always tasty.
Tracy, sounds horrible.
Gail, my big preference is for the generic birthday cake - don't know why.
Jhianna, so, my penis with icing on it would be comfort food?
TMP, I try to eat no more than 8 pounds of chocolate a day.
Othurme, okay, that's fucking weird.
Comments by Avitable
Nutella on brownies...omg.
Pizza with double cheese, dipped in garlic butter.
Lobster in garlic butter.
