What's your comfort food? (Recipes please?)

not a recipe but mars bar and salt and vinegar crisps is gorgeous, lol

I just have to have starchy carb food as well as something sweet. Toast with butter and marmalade and a cup of tea does the trick, or cake. Pasta hits the spot too. So filling. If I do crave chocolate it will be a mini timeout bar or some dark chocolate.

Interesting article from todays Independent (with recipes)

"Lakeland, the kitchenware company, has reported a boom in baking tins, preserving jars and slow cookers. "

For me its got to be that old scottish favourite. HM cloutie dumpling. Yumm..so many ways to eat it, plain, sliced with butter, fried as part of a breakfast treat fry up, or my all time favourite which is covered in lashings of custard

Syrup or jam sponge for us too, especially as I found that they turn out fab done in the microwave. Even the kids can make them. Fantastic! I also love gypsy tart, gingerbread and apple crumble! I am getting hungry now so I had better go and make some!

I've been known to open up a can of condensed milk and attack it with a spoon to get a sweet fix.

In France you can buy condensed milk in a tube - much easier!

My own love is my bread toasted till crisp and left in the toaster ill it's cooled a little, butter (don't like it melted into the toast) and marmite.

With a cup of instant coffee.

Had this for brekkie!

Generously buttered toast with a whooole tin of spaghetti numbers.

Also a jacket potato with lashings of butter and beans.

I've only just started liking butter (i used to hate it as a kiddie) so I'm having loads!

I like scrambled eggs as comfort food, my Dad used to make it for my when I was ill. It seems that it turns a lot of peoples stomachs the thought of eggs when ill (especially my Mam) but I love it and it's nice and easy to make in the microwave. For something sweet I find Twink's hobnobs do the trick!
