Comfort food

posted by OSH

Solid choice. It's a go-to for us as well, it's fun to pass the "dip your sandwich in your soup" tradition to the kids. 

It's fun to mix-up the grilled cheese too. Use mayo. Use multiple cheeses. Either way it goes, my wife does a great job when she doesn't burn it.

Yes, mayo, not butter, on the grilled cheese.

For me, pizza is the ultimate comfort food. Nothing else really compares. Been a while since I've had grilled cheese, but that's legit as well.

WOW... Comfort food ...it could be anything from  Braunschweiger sandwich, lox and bagels, cold ribs or herring w/ wine sauce on crackers depending on

my mood and hungry for.

Wait what... I have never heard of this so you put mayo on the bread instead of putting butter on it then grill it? I don't hate mayo but that doesn't sound as appetizing as butter. 

Also pizza is probably my #2 for comfort foods.

Do it. I heard the tip 10 years ago and never went back to butter.

Can't do the mayo. I've had it and it's not for me. I use butter and then sometimes I coat the outside of the bread with grated or shredded parm before cooking. Makes the most delicious crust. 

fried bologna sandwich   ...  on a day like today ...bologna w/ ketchup on Italian bread and onion soup    

Fried bologna with cheese, mayo, and tomato. I'm craving the shit out of that right now.

 Grilled cheese and tomato soup bring back great childhood memories for me. Lol it could also be food for poor people. 

LOL ----      sleeper talk

Grilled cheese is comfort food?  I always thought it was just crap that poor people eat

Indeed.

LOL.  I still like the occasional Kraft Mac & Cheese, and hot dogs....never much of a ramen noodle fan.

Just never a fan of grilled cheese.  Mom made it when she didn't have time to run to the store or wanted to slave over the kitchen.  I like those kraft singles on my burger, but man they are crap....double for a sandwich entirely of them (except for the bread).

Oh, we don't do Kraft singles.  We do real cheese ... usually cheddar.

We never use Kraft singles for our grilled cheese. 

Same.  They barely melt.  Cheese melts.  They aren't cheese.

Yep.  I like tomato and mayo on mine.

And they taste like vaguely cheese-flavored cardboard. If that's your grilled cheese sandwich, your grilled cheese sandwich sucks. Now, with higher-quality stuff, you're on to something.

We get real cheese from the deli in Marc's.  It actually costs a little less.  It's not individually wrapped, but I'll climb up that cross all day to avoid the pasteurized, processed, condensed cheese products that are.

Poor people don't heat it up.

Pizza, cheeseburgers, and beer. An unbeatable combination.

My favorite

Forgot about the rollmops!   As a kid, that wasn't comfort food - that was "bonding with Dad on Saturday afternoon" food.

I had some comfort food tonight.

It's called chicken pot pie. 

Another comfort food is pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy. 

Grilled cheese and tomato soup is good also. (Milk)

I don't consider pizza a comfort food.

p.s.: I'm a sucker for corn bread and butter.......especially with some chili.

Biscuits and gravy

Pizza is my all time comfort food. I do enjoy a good grilled cheese with butter and parm crust. I never heard of the mayo trick will have to try it next time. I also enjoy chicken or beef and noodle with mashed potatoes.
