I can't eat comfort food - when I'm in the mood where someone would turn to a bit of food, I instead stop eating. Watching/hearing other people eat induces nausea and I generally have to skulk off and be alone.

Scrambled, with a sprinkling of smoked salmon added just after taking them off the heat, on good quality bread, mana from heaven....

Doughnuts. Cake. Chocolate eclairs. Kettle Chips. Beer.

I'm but a simple soul. And overweight - but I can't work out why. I think I must be one of those people who retains cake water.

Liz made me pumpkin, ginger and chilli soup this week.  Homemade bread, too.  When got back from work it was dark and cold, but the house smelled of heaven.

Other comfort food for me would have to be:

Custard
Rice pudding
Porridge
Marmalade sandwiches
Marmite on toast
Cheese on toast

Perhaps this is why I am a sturdy girl?

Charlotte's list is very similar to mine except for the Marmite. I am also a 'sturdy girl'!

Soups (almost any kind) are very comforting...

Despite my love for chocolate, some time ago I decided that if I could be offered 1 item of food which I could eat as much of as I liked with no consequences, it would be cheese. :)

So my comfort food would be leeky bacony macaroni cheese. :P nom nom nom

Käsespätzle, melty cheesy noodly loveliness.

And potato in any form. Rösti mit Speck, with melty Alpine cheese, must be the best supper or breakfast ever.

Warm rye bread, with cheese soup. A lovely Wallis thing, with high pasture Alp cheese melting into chicken stock, cream, and wine. Simple, but impossibly seductive.

Mashed potato topped with wild mushrooms, cooked with butter and garlic. This is the perfect thing for when you come home after a long cold walk in the forest!

Pasta with a rich, tomato-based sauce - mixed seafood, bolognese or one of my favourites - sausage and peppers, spiced with fennel seeds and paprika.

Or at a pinch, some decent red wine and a bag of Kettle Chips...
