COMFORT FOOD

Comfort food is the real rage now in all restaurants, cooking shows, etc.  I want to be up front with you.  I like comfort food.  Comfort food could be chicken soup.  Chicken soup seems to many to have some medicinal qualities.  I can’t confirm that, however, I never felt worse after a bowl.  Pot roast could be considered a comfort food.  I agree wholeheartedly.  How about chicken and dumplings.  Now that is something that could be good for your aura, and tastes good also.  Turkey and dressing, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce.  Well, why even ask about that one.

My number one, altime favorite comfort food is “wolf brand chili”.  I know, I have heard all the reasons why that product is practically undigestible.  But, folks, I love the stuff.  I have never eaten anyone’s chili that even comes close to having the taste of “Wolf Brand”.  My recipe for a good bowl of ole red is a big handful of crackers, sqished, about a quarter cup of ketchup, a big ole handful of grated cheese, and fill the bowl with bubbling wolf.  Stir and get after it.  It just makes me happy to eat the stuff.  I know each of you have a similar food that makes you happy.  Why not reply and tell me what it is. 

A comfort food is something that while you are eating it, well, you just want to sit there and puddle.  It brings memories of different times, happier times for some, and a feeling of warmth.  Patronize places that serve these types of food.  Every ethnic group has a comfort food.  Experiment.

  1. I love Wolf Brand chili, too. I make an excellent homemade chili (meet diced, not ground) and serve it with yeast rolls and garlic-lime salad (frijoles on the side (never cooked with chili!). But for a spur-of-the-moment cold or even chilly evening – Wolf Brand with chopped raw onions and saltines – yum!

  2. My husband would agree. He is happy as a clam with a can of chili and some weiners and bread. Personally, it reminds me of dog food, but hey, I don’t have to cook it, so am glad he’s that easy to please.
