So funny enough, my comfort food used to be bread and potato chips and now its not..In fact its these little cough candies called HALLS..the flavour is extra-strenght menthol-lyptus...Dont know why..but i got hooked on these when i got sick with a sore throat and cant seem to give them up..it feels like a warm hug for your mouth!!! I could suck on those all night long..
I have a friend that we have to watch when she gets sick, cuz she totally gets addicted to the cough drops. I wonder if there's something to that? I'm a pasta kinda girl.
If we're talking healthy foods My newest addiction is romaine lettuce leaves. I spritz the wish bone salad spritzers on them and it is amazing. I love the Balsamic Breeze It's my new late night /movie snack. It just seems to satisfy my munchies.
My strange, un-healthy comfort food is grits and ground meat. My mama made that growing up and it makes everyone I know go but I love it.
She would make a cajun spaghetti sauce with ground meat and put that over grits. Woowee, talk about some warm tummy lovin'!
I didn't know that was culinary weirdness until jr. high school when a friend spent the night and I announced we were having that for supper. She thought my mama was the meanest thing on two feet to serve that.
We also ate cornbread, milk and sugar but I didn't take that affinity to adulthood. Oogs me out now.
Healthy comfort food would have to be raw bell peppers. Crunchtastic.
Strange comfort food? Probably a seared slab of ribeye. That melty animal fat, crisp crust and juicy, tender goodness gets me every time.
I can also eat malt powder straight with a spoon. Both of these were foods I loved growing up, and are heavenly to indulge in. However I never do malt powder anymore, but I have ribeye once or twice a week. It's a budget splurge of mine, but very health promoting and satisfying (especially compared to the malt). I may have a malt at a restaurant some day, but that's about the extent of it. No redeeming health benefits, unlike a well prepared steak.
Whenever I'm feeling blah, I typically turn to a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Don't know why. It's not all that weird, but it's pretty much been my comfort food since I was a kid.
it sounds disgusting, but when i was growing up, my stepdad would make a noodle/oyster/veggie spread to go on crackers. it looks and smells absolutely horrid, but to this day i crave it often. sooooo good, dont knock it till you try it!
I think that I ONLY like wierd food.
Crusty bread-I love bread ends, and anything gooey. Melted cheap cheese, fluff, whipped cream, Nutella-anything cheap in a jar. Thats why a "letting go" isn't really a fancy nice dessert, I like it cheap and probably sitting on the shelf for a long time ugh.
I also love anything that will spike my blood sugar up way high. Right now I want spaghetti with tons of meat sauce. And around -1-4 PM. after that its more managable, but around those times, I always think that I will go nutso. Then I chillax.
