What comfort foods did your moms make for you, and what are the recipes?

Mine made: mac n cheese, beef stew, chicken a la king, lasagna, and sukiyaki. I am hoping to get ahold of her tonight and extract the recipes from her brain.

I'm sorry you had a horrible mother

I had a great Mom who was a terrific cook. It's the term "comfort food" that gets my goat. I mean if you're hungry then all and/or any food is going to give you comfort, that is you are not going to starve.

inb4: closure, acting out, hurtful, etc.

For me specifically, OP or stuff she made that I enjoyed?
Stuff she'd make just for me if I'd ask:
Probably rice and curry. Or sardine-and-cabbage fish-sausage fried rice. Also pasta with peas, rice with cabbage and chickpeas, pasta with zucchini egg sauce and store-bought würstel on store-bought bread with store-bought mustard and store-bought mayonnaise.

Stuff she cooked for the whole fams that I loved:
coal-roasted mackerel, fried saltcod, bitter broccoli greens with chilies and garlic, bitter peppers with garlic and tomato, bitter gourd with egg, sautéed morning glory and ragù alla genovese. Also lumpiang baboy, potato-dough lemon doughnuts, sweet brioche, chicken chicken soup (yes: 'chicken' twice) and oven-stewed oxtail.

powdered milk with sugar and mashed wild berries. I crave it every once in a while even though I don't have to eat like that anymore.

I can't find a pic that can even do it justice, it's kind of her own recipe, bu my mom makes hamburger rice.

white rice, ground beef, chicken stock, eggs, a little corn starch and salt, and usually with peas served on the side.

I love you mom.

Yankee style pot roast and beef stroganoff, or some good old ham and bean soup.

No idea on the recipes but I'll be sure to ask her now.

[Anonymous No.5643720]

When I think of mom's comfort foods, my mind goes immediately to the potato soup that she would always cook for us when we were sick. I swear, that could cure anything. Also, her beef stew, hash, and barbecued brisket. She made great vegetable dishes too, because she always had a huge garden.
>tfw I'll never again have my mom bring me potato soup and crackers in bed when I have the flu or a cold.

[Anonymous No.5644100]

All of my mom's comfort food was Korean. So stuff like samgyetang and nurungji and various other soups/stews.

[Anonymous No.5644107]

Comfort food is for fat people. When I'm down the last thing I want is food, like I completely lose all my appetite even if I was previously hungry.

I felt like I was the only kid in America whose mother never made him macaroni and cheese. I had never had homemade mac and cheese until adulthood.

My mom makes only two good dishes. Really good vegtable soup and really good pork roast with gravy.

[Anonymous No.5645079]

proscuitto and asparagus. one of the very few recipes she gave me - for reasons i didn't get most of them after she died.

1 pound penne
5 T butter
1 clove minced garlic
2 cups cooked asparagus
1 3/4 cup light cream
1 cup parmesan, grated
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 sheet proscuitto (like 1/4 pound)
2 T chopped parsley

cook the pasta
after the pasta is cooked, in the warm pot, melt butter with the garlic. put the pasta back in, drained, and stir. put in the egg and stir. add in the parm and cream and use low heat if neccessary to make amazing and sauce-like.

turn off heat and put in proscuitto and cooked asparagus. serve with parsley on top.

god, i fucking love that mean. it's so bad for you and i never eat it anymore. i made that quite a bit the first couple years after she died. it's amazing.

(she'd be so mad i just gave it out on the internet. it took me years to get that from her.)
