name the ONE comfort food for you.

[boomchakabowwow]

there is little doubt for me. like i can name my ONE favorite song, i can name the one single dish that i can call my comfort food. it comes from my food memory, and i made a few variations until i hit the exact same flavor profile my mom produced over and over again. it is my mom's Cantonese Steamed Chicken. i love it, and make it on occasion. i dont want to burn out on it, like i did mac and cheese

sorry for the lame lunch leftover picture, but i didnt take one last night. ignore the broccoli my wife snuck into my lunch

Name your ONE dish. one. can you do it?

 

[Lars]

No way - I'm way to greedy to name just one..!

I can't name one favourite song either.

There are too many good songs and to many great dishes for me to name just one.

You should of put a NSFW or XXX tag on that!

 

[WildBoar]

Can't do it.

You do not achieve this amazing physique by having only one favorite comfort food...

 

[wabi]

A simple roast chicken with pan jus or a home made gravy.
I have more..but you asked for just one.

[Luftmensch]

Do you make it yourself?

I have only ever done it once... it was like the times I have cooked Ramen. The end results would ever earn three-hats-point-four-stars.... but they were tasty nonetheless. With these meaty broth/stock reductions... the amount of labour I put into them never seems to match the value of one of our local joints... but there can be fun and pride in the process...

That said; we recently moved. While we have decent vietnamese up the road our closest ramen is only so-so....

Nah I Googled it haha

Screw cooking it from scratch, it's a cheap food to take out!

 

[MowgFace]

That's my home-made Phở. I usually make a batch once each winter.

Gorgeous!

 

[Keith Sinclair]

[sumis]

marijuana.

[ethompson]

A good old-fashioned TexMex combination plate (at least one of the items must be a cheese enchie with red chili gravy) with a Modelo Negra and margarita. It’s not my favorite food or beer by any means, but is my meal of choice after a rough week so guess it qualifies.

 

[HumbleHomeCook]

Chicken fried steak with sage and black pepper gravy, sunny side up eggs, and hash browns perfectly done with a crispy exterior and fluffy center.

 

[chefwp]

so I have to pick one from this list?
-coq au vin
-pasta bolognese
-mac-n-cheese (really cavatappi instead of mac with aged white cheddar and dijon mustard in the bechamel)
-bbq chicken thighs with creme-fraiche/scallion mashed gold taters, and cole slaw
-Korean bbq chicken thighs with ginger slaw and brown rice
-Jambalaya
-gumbo
-borscht

pick one?!?! really?! Can't do it... What I probably could do if I really racked my brain is make that list longer!

Maybe if I go at it not from the eater angle, but the maker angle, for some reason I love making bolognese sauce, it is a long cooking time and a labor of love.

i made it once..no twice. first time i paid a lady in Vietnam to teach it to me. a cooking school. it was awesome. we hit a market got the ingredients and made it. while it simmered we did other things. the fresh made rice paper was a highlight.

i came home and reproduced the Pho. told myself i could buy it for $11 per bowl, instead of spending $100 for the caldron i ended up with. haha. never again.
