Food you keep going back to, because it's just what you need right now

[Creeping Past]

Old-style (70s/80s) vegetarian recipes. Bulgar wheat with aubergines, 3-bean chilli, textured vegetable protein. Lentil stew.

I really don't know why this has stuck with me as ideal food. Maybe it's the starch...

Stilton, melted on toast or on crumpets.

 

[HadleyH]

Any sort of soup (with no red meat in it), pumpkin, chicken, mix vegetables.....

"Soup... it is austerity food, filled with comfort, nourishment ...and perhaps penitence."

I love soup, i always go back to soup.

Edit to show how i eat my chicken soup............ mmmmmmmmmm like that exactly

American cheese sandwich. On whole wheat. With mayo.

May I present the best fast food ever: the ButterBurger.

Courtesy Culver's, in 17 states. Is there one near you? Yummy frozen custard too.

"I Have re-discovered the joy of "Cauliflower Cheese" quick and easy to make, also Beef Stroganoff with mashed sweet potato"

 

[Cigarband]

Italian sausage with peppers and onions.

 

[colps]

A big bowl of pasta with a chunk of homemade bread!

 

[HadleyH]

I have to say that cheese and whole wheat bread or rye bread is another favorite of mine! yummy comfort food, winter, summer, all year round!

Cheap indian food. There's a takeaway curry place in a direct line between the arts building and my dorm, so on wednesdays, when I've been working straight through from 1.30 to 8, it's really convenient. I could get some other stuff, but there's nothing like a watery, mouth-charring tikka masala after a long day.

 

[Carlisle Blues]

chunk of homemade bread!

Yum I make my own bread: whole wheat, olive oil and rosemary and cheese bread to name a few. Perfection is sitting in front of my fire place on a winter day with some bread and cheese. Together with this little plate I make: sliced mozzarella cheese tomato(sometimes sun dried), and fresh basil.

Kedgeree.
Rice fried with turmeric, cayenne pepper, corander, cumin, garlic and chilli flakes, mixed with flaked smoked fish (or tinned tuna, if you prefer) with a shelled soft boiled egg halved on the top. Oh, and a handful of sultanas.

Pressure Cooker-

Now that's Raj-bastardised Indian comfort/lazy/emergency food.
Kicheree:
Normally a stodgy mix of rice and dal, with a few spices,
cooked in a few minutes in a pressure cooker.
Now where did the smoked haddock come from?

Everybody could benefit greatly from using a pressure cooker.
Especially Soup Nuts. Pressure cooker soup is the best, most tasiest.

I often cook up a pot of rice, by the absorption method and add fish and peas
in the last minutes. Add a splash of soy and a good dose of pepper to a plate
of this stuff and Bob's yer aunty.
I sometimes enjoy a big plate of homogenous food, that I can shovel down.
Sumo food.

You're not going to get a straight answer in this thread-

Have you tried making a "lentil loaf"?

On Saturday night, we had 6, or 7 home-cooked, vegetarian
Punjabi dishes- home made naan, too.
Then we had dessert.(not on a roll)
It was Divali.


I'll keep coming back.

Cheap chili dogs and a Fosters Bitter. I know its not good for me, but sometimes I just gotta have it.

Don't forget the parsley old boy!

I bloody love kedgeree, and it's simply one of the best hangover recuperation meals there is. Thankfully it seems to be experiencing a resurgence of sorts.
