Hot and Sour soup.
Whenever it's cold out, if I'm getting sick, or if I'm just feeling down, a big bowl of hot and sour soup always makes me feel better.

After your graphic description of your clubbing experience in NY, I have a different image in my mind of that big bowl of hot and sour soup. What's of that soup?scem0 said:Whenever it's cold out, if I'm getting sick, or if I'm just feeling down, a big bowl of hot and sour soup always makes me feel better.
Good thick oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins.
Iced animal cookies (the ones with that pink frosting in the pink bag).
Grilled cheese sandwich and creamy tomato soup.

Wow, that is a lot of popcorn for lunch. I could maybe go through 2 or 3, but never all 18 in the pack. You da man.MongoTheGeek said:

I meant one of the packs, not all 18 in the box.
And the best doughnuts were Montgomery Doughnuts. Willard Scott used to go down to do the weather outside of DC just to get the doughnuts.

I don't get what you're asking.

WOW! I wasn't sure what my comfort food was until I read yours. Sounds like I need to go shopping tonight to make Lentil soup and Tomato and bean stew, and of course Rhubarb crumble.
My wife's comfort food is Shepards pie.
I'm addicted to Slurpees. I got fat over the summer as a result. Seriously, I'm like a Berenstein Bear now.
Wow, interesting to see all of the people who turn to sweets when they're down in the dumps. I guess I knew that was the case, but they've just never appealed to me as comfort food.
Mom's Chicken and Dumplings, probably at the top of the list.
My wife's Asparagus casserole.
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
Campbell's Chicken Noodle-O's soup.
Egg drop soup.
French toast (OK, that's a sweet).

What a good thread, I got a bad cold today so not being near my usual comfort food haunts (baskin Robbins and Safeway's fresh soups) I had some onion soup with gnocchi, a little red wine and chocolate. It seems to have worked as the fever broke and I look moderately alive. Soup is always the best cure physical or mental for me and the wine takes some of the agony away. The only better comfort would be to have someone around 24/7 to cater to me and listen to me whine, but then I'd probably turn into a hypchondriac so maybe it's better that I'm single!
My favorites:
Chinese Food (fried tofu, hot & sour soup, wanton soup, sesame chicken)
Popcorn
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes
Matzo Ball Soup
Macaroni and cheese
Hostess Cupcakes
Thomas Sweets ice cream (or just about any ice cream)
I rarely have this but I love it Vegetable Tempura or a Hibachi dinner
Mexican food vegetable burritos, guacamole, rice and beans
Yum!

I like water... a lot. So I drink water. I eat some candy, but I have less than 4 or 5 in a month, probably less. I guess my comfort food would have to be hot soup. I could eat soup and drink water forever.
