Comfort food during a particularly Cr*p Winter.

[Withdean and I]

Jacket potato, sausages, baked beans and cheese with Lea & Perrins on top! Glass of ale. Mmmm.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Spam fritter sandwich

 

[m20gull]

Tartiflette - sliced potato, strong cheese, ham and white wine with lots of butter. Serve with chunks of rye bread and Leffe.

or Slow roasted shoulder of lamb with Sussex drip pudding.

Though I do agree with Mac'n'cheese as well.
And I recommend bacon suet pudding.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Beef burgers, mash, gravy, peas.

 

[Surf's Up]

As a variation on the macaroni cheese front, add some Dijon mustard, grated Parmesan (as well as the cheddar)and a drop of Tabasco to the cheese sauce and either add crispy bacon or thin slithers of crisply fried chorizo or both and a few sliced tomatoes before putting in the oven to bake. Accompany with some fresh crispy bread and wash it all down with a glass or several of decent red wine.

Angel Delight. God knows why, I've never really liked it at any point in my life until the last few months, but now I'm doing a sachet pretty much every single day. Chocolate, strawberry, butterscotch, banana - whatever I can get my hands on I'll demolish in a couple of minutes. It's not even slightly wintry - or particularly nice for that matter. But that doesn't stop me driving to Asda at 11pm if I've run out.

Still, I've never done drugs or smoked and I only drink once every three or four weeks, so it all balances out.

Mrs MP recommends putting Maltesers into the mix just before the setting point.

Shepherds Pie, homemade with cheese melted on top, bottle of red

Can't believe this thread to got to 3 pages before shepherds pie got a mention. Ultimate comfort food.

I was only wondering the other day if they still made Angel Delight, one of my favourite childhood memories - particularly remember butterscotch or strawberry were fab. As it seems it is still there, I'm a little concerned to try it again for fear of ruining my memories and it not being what I remember. Guess I'll go for it when I remember to look for it in sainsburys.

They still make Angel Delight, and sell it in most supermarkets.

Lamb Hot Pot with Black Pudding and Kidney.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Home made, with decent cheddar, a bit of cayenne & black pepper for a kick, and some crusty bread.

I'm hungry just thinking about that.

A good call - if you like that try this version : instead of the cayenne put some english mustard in the cheese sauce and add cooked cauliflower florets and crisp bacon lardons to the dish. Make the cheese sauce with cheddar and Parmesan cheese but top with a stringy type cheese when you put it under the grill.

In the olden days there used to be something called "Instant Whip" (stop tittering at the back) which also came in butterscotch or strawberry flavour - I think Angel Delight is the upgraded variant.

Do like that pic of the steak and mushrool pud a few posts back.

Yum, a golden syrup sponge pudding.
I must have a sweet tooth, as that ticks all the boxes for me - whereas almost everyone else opting for savoury food.

ooooh yesss thats a great shout

Another vote for macaroni cheese. We just add wholegrain mustard to the mix. Simple, yet bootiful.

Mmmmm tartiflette
Something else to add bacon roll (or pudding in some circles).

Most sweet deserts and puddings count as comfort food. Homemade crumble with fresh custard, or homemade Bakewelltarts with custard and lashings of whipped or clotted cream. Wowsers!!
