Comfort FoodRead the article this discussion is about

» Dubh_Sidhe - Wow Thank goodness for the doctor, Traute. I can see you now sitting in the hospital bed eating pears. I used to climb my grandmothr's pear tree and eat them while sitting on a branch. I don't think I have had a pear since then. My comfort foods are chocolate and cream soups. This is a nice challenge also, Traute.-- posted by Dubh_Sidhe » jerrib - I'm so glad this had a positive ending I have never been overly fond of pears. I'm glad they were your savior in the hospital.My favorite comfort food is bread of any kind: pizza, sourdough garlic, peanut butter sandwich, bread pudding, warm bread from the oven slathered with butter, french toast, etc. -- posted by jerrib » biogardener - Start digging, Jerri. So now, Jerri, start digging in your childhood memories to try to figure out why these foods are so comforting to you, and then write an article about it. That is my writing challenge.-- posted by biogardener » jerrib - Perhaps someday, Traute I just had my favorite comfort food - peanut butter and apricot jam on white bread! I have lots of comfort foods, but this happens to be my favorite today. Most of them are not healthy, either!I think I like bread because my mother always baked bread and we ate it warm. We used to go to a bakery in a town about an hour away and eat hot bread as a family, broken off in chunks to savor in the moment on family drives! -- posted by jerrib » biogardener - eating in a tree Virginia, fruit always tastes best when eaten sitting in the tree. My sister and I sat in our aunt's cherry tree near Portland, OR, in 1962, the summer of the Seattle World's Fair. No one else would eat the pears because they were overripe and full of worms, but we two girls from the cold prairies couldn't have cared less. We didn't look at the worms, and they didn't bite us. No cherries ever tasted so good. I have never been able to eat cherries since then without remembering that experience, and cherries are also one of my comfort foods, although they are too expensive to eat in quantity now.Another one of my comfort foods is potato pancakes, because that was the one dish which my father prepared better than anyone else in the world, and whenever he had to cook, we begged him to make potato pancakes. Somewhere, I have written an article which contains his recipe. I must dig it up and link it to this article. Sweets have never been a comfort food to me. In my growing up years, they were hard to come by, so I never got used to them. -- posted by biogardener » biogardener - Peanut butter etc. I know a lot of North Americans who share the comfort food with Tom, my husband being one of them. I did not even know what a peanut is until I was grown up.-- posted by biogardener
