I like to have red sauce on cheese on toast - my family thinks I'm mad!! And my FI really likes chocolate spread and jam sandwiches - (yuck!!)
and one else out there with odd comfort foods???
i have to eat dark chocolate and sharp cheese together. i go crazy craving it!!
DH likes raw potatoes. They bring him back to his childhood I guess.
I like kimchi and rice. Only my fellow koreans understand that one, lol. DH says it gives me really bad gas and smells like ass in a jar, so he doesn't see why I like it =]
Seriously, kimchi and rice can make my whole day better
LOL!!! @vicarswifeintraining I love a nice branston pickle and cheese sandwich and out here everyone thinks it's crazy but over there it's kinda just the norm! So comfort food but only because I'm not in the UK!!
@ejs4y8 I'm a British Italian girl and I eat Kimchi like it's going out of style!!! It's seriously one of the most delicious things in the world . . . man now I want some my mouth is watering just thing about it!
I keep a jar in the fridge all the time! Not as good as my grandma's, but pretty damn close!
Seriously i cannot get any of my non-asian friends to eat it! I could go for a bowl now but I don't thihk it'd go with the ice cream sunday i'm eating -=]
Jerky. I think it is a family thing, because we are all into it but aside from my mom and dad that's about it. And not just beef, not even kidding right now I'm eating buffalo jerky. Elk was yesterday. Pretty sure this makes me sound pretty burly lol
@bloodgo1 sorry to be horribly British, but what is jerky, they talk about it on American telly all the time - but what is it? And what is salt water taffy?? I'm mystified?
Cheese and jam--especially strawberry. I grew up allergic to peanuts. When my sister would eat peanutbutter and jelly, I had to choose something. This was the mix that I picked and still eat now.
Oooh, @vicarswifeintraining, I've got another British-American translation question: What's red sauce?
Jerky is dried, shredded, and smoked meat. Ok, that's not the most appealing sounding description, but it's very tasty and very salty. Especially good when camping! It's kind of like biltong (from South Africa and maybe elsewhere).
lol @ vicarswifeintraining - it is dehydrated meat. it usually comes in thin strips and you just pick it up and eat it.
as for salt water taffy i don't really know how to explain it really, but all i know is i tried it once and thought it was pretty gross. i always think of elderly people when i see it though because it just seems like i see them munching on it every so often lol
@weebirdy It's ketchup!! and we have brown sauce but thats just brown sauce - we eat it in bacon buttys and on sausages I don't think it has a proper name, I don't think we have any other sauces named after there colour! lol
and yes jerky sounds horrible! Is it just smoked meat though? like kippers or parma ham?
@vicarswifeintraining - Jerky isn't horrible, trust me. It's ah-may-zing!
When I was a kid I would always eat Little Debbie's iced oatmeal cookies with nacho cheese Doritos on top. Sooooo weird, but I loved it.
And now the one I always get made fun of for is a Wendy's frosty with fries - you dip the fries in the frosty - SO EFFING GOOD! :)
Ha ha, no, jerky really is tasty (at least I think so, but mainly as a snack when hiking or something). Sorry, I'm not sure what kippers or parma ham are!
And thanks about the red and brown sauce--I've always wondered what those are! Is brown sauce like daddy's(?) sauce? I've only ever heard of it in a Red Nose Day skit with Daniel Craig and Catherine Tate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4AgzQvFNZs) and he's putting it on ham, and frankly, it looks kind of gross :) But maybe it tastes better than it looks!
I have comfort condiments more than comfort foods. I think putting melted cheese, salsa, or ranch dressing makes just about anything taste better!
@weebirdy yep thats the sort of stuff - it's not quite the same as daddys sauce but - same kettle of fish! - out of interest (having watched the video - do you know what newcy brown is? do you have it in America)
Kippers are herrings (as in the fish) whole but split down the middle and salted then cold smoked - then you grill it for breakfast or tea or whatever! And parma ham is Itallian smoked ham - I don't like it but anyway!
I love popcorn and plain m&ms, mixed together. There is nothing like butter, salt and chocolate. It is the ultimate PMS food!
Salt water taffy is chewy candy that comes in lots of different flavors. I think it's really good! It reminds me of the Friends episode where Phoebe tries it for the first time and doesn't know if it's gum or candy... then decides it's delicious. According to Ross, it's made from water with salt in it, not really fresh saltwater.
@menobride - Mmmmm I love chocolate with popcorn! I went through a phase where almost every night I would have a mini bag of popcorn with some chocolate chips sprinkled in. YUM!
Mmm . . . I am now so hungry and thirsty! I read some of these out loud, and the FI got inspired and is now eating jerky. And yep, I love Newcy Brown! And so now I'm having one--thanks for the suggestion :) And thanks to the video, whenever one of us asks where something in the fridge is, the standard answer is "in the fridge! Next to your Newcy Brown!"
ahhh - I had no idea Newcy Brown had got to America! how exiting.
@EmeraldR I LOVE pretzels with sour cream, or cream cheese. In fact, I like anything ad sour cream. May need to go get some now :)
Ok, everyone thinks mine is gross, but seriously... try it!! PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH DIPPED IN CHILI!!!!!!! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. My Mom and sister both eat it too. It's the only way I will eat chili.
Only two people have seen me do this when I was younger and both thought it was gross so I nevered shared it with anyone else...but I love a pb & j sandwich on potato bread layered with Doritos. I was always afraid that other people will think it's gross so I only have it when no one else is home.
I also have to have a glass of orange juice right after I have a chocolate hersey bar.
Can I say mayonnaise on toast without people throwing up? Cause I sure can't eat it without people throwing up....
Ok, so how many of us will be serving our "comfort food" at the reception? A wedding's supposed to reflect the couple's personality, right? 
Dubliners aged cheddar cheese and gobs of honey on a nice salty cracker :)
Spaghetti in a can... I know it's terrible for me but I crave it! I'll eat it for days in a row...
I also really love chocolate with root beer.
sliced ham with cream cheese smeared on it, all wrapped around dill pickle spears! salty, crunchy, creamy goodness.
i also grew up eating warm custard sauce spooned over buttered white bread. 4 generations of norwegians in my family have been eating it when we've been sick, stressed or at holidays :) it is the ULTIMATE comfort food for me!
also, i am kinda loving this post -- reading what 'strange' things people eat and would not otherwise divulge to the general public. so interesting to hear what people crave! awesomeness!
@ amanda.lynn- I totally do the fries in the frosty! It's the best way to eat a frosty.
@ menobride- I know what you mean about the popcorn and chocolate. I usually do raisinettes because of the tartness of the raisins. I'm going to have to try M&Ms.
I just thought of another one--Rootbeer float with Fritos. Mom eats it too. Come to think of it, I have a lot of odd food habits.
Okay....everyone thinks that this is gross...but I crave BEETS. Hmmm...they are delicious!!!
haha loving reading about all these quirks!!! I really can't think of anything I eat now that most people would find super unusual. When I was a kid I loved taco bell cinnamon twists dipped in their cheese sauce, but I haven't eaten that in over a decade!
My comfort food is only "weird" in the sense that its so incredibly terrible that I doubt many self-respecting adults would actually allow themselves to do this....
here goes nothing...
jeno's pepperoni pizza (the kind that is $1 at the grocery store and is the cheapest of cheap cheap pizza), tortilla scoops with queso dip, and coke. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
@Corgi - haha, we all have our deep dark secrets!
I think my comfort food is stuff my mom makes, which might be unusual for others. Like, she makes this really good chicken that is totally tasty but salty, and it's delicious with rice and a sliced banana. The sweet banana balances out the savory goodness.
I also like buttered rice with soy sauce or Maggi sauce (this seasoning you can get at Asian grocery stores, but the best kind is the kind my uncle in France sends to us. I highly doubt it's actually French, though).
Vicarswifeintraining- no joke! I love the red sauce! I studied in Belfast and saw some girls order sausage rolls with red sauce in a shop, and after they left I ordered the same thing. I was mystified. What could this red sauce be? When I got it, I saw that it was ketchup. Ever since then I love using the term red sauce.
My comfort food is popcorn. Maybe because it's delicious, and I can eat a whole bag without going overboard on calories. Other weird comfort combo: diet coke and mentos. And no, not becuase of the youtube video.
