What do you all do for comfort?

Feeling lonely and a bit down today.. I always crave home cooked food when i feel this way. So i decided to make some beef biriyani. I hope it turns out well.

Is it only me or anyone else feel a bit more relaxed after enjoying their favourite comfort food?

Oh absolutely food is a comfort. Enjoying the flavors and taste as well as aroma

of foods you like can make you feel relaxed and happy. Brings out the Serotonin

chemicals in the brain. Of course, I don't stop there, a little dessert after the meal

is the end to a good meal. Enjoy GreenLandss :) xx

What is in your dish? I understand the beef part but not the other.

I love Mac and cheese :)

A greasy chip butty does it for me . With lashings of tomato ketchup.

maybe greenlandss could pour some Devon custard on the biryani.

Dolphin14 in reply tokenster1

That Devon custard is supposed to be good. We have a few Devon people here on HU.

If hyper comes out I can asked her about biryani

What's in baked Alaska? Isn't that with something chocolate?

MadBunny in reply toDolphin14

It's ice cream on a cake base with meringue on the outside and baked in the oven . I guess you can use whatever flavour you want. I've never had it.

How can you deep fry ice cream? Wouldn't it melt?

kenster1 profile image
kenster1 in reply tob1b1b1

not sure how it`s prepared think you make the batter roll the ice cream into it then stick in the fryer.

Oh my are you ambitious. I wouldn't mind sharing the biriyani.

I can't cook anymore, so I miss the comfort foods I grew up with. Nowadays, junk food from the grocery has to stand in.

comfort food is my thing too. It does help

Yes, it's always a good feeling when you cook something that you created. Favorite foods will bring back good memories for me.
