I have not found a thread dedicated to food! Unbelievable so here it is. What is your favourite comfort food? What do you like to cook? Do you want tips on how to cook? Basically everything food related...including unlimited rice pudding!

I like this thread better. Not just what we eat but why.
I don't have a favorite food. In fact, I hate that question. It depends on my mood. Last night I did roasted chicken on top of root vegetables; a very autumn dish. Tonight might be an Asian stir fry.

Yes food is often linked to our mood, where we are, time of year etc.

My favorite comfort food is soup.
Especially a nice hot chicken soup with whatever veggies are at hand. Or pumpkin soup with lots of chili and ginger.
It always makes me feel at least a bit better.
Stress at work and not really any appetite? Cold outside and bad and depressive mood due to dark and gloomy days?
A steaming hot bowl of goodness always warms your heart from the inside.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

At all. Could you believe I would actually prefer a boiled freshly harvested potato over chips if I was given the choice? Or jacket potatoes. With chives and sour cream...

Tbh chips are just a jigsaw version of jacket potatoes anyway. |

I just went out with the family for birthday dinner of my aunt (maybe this was the last time we could do this before the next lockdown hits, and we already have a curfew at 9pm!). Anyways. They had the most amazing dessert. White chocolate mousse with caramel and cherry drizzle and roasted walnuts. OMG. It was the most amazing dessert I had in a VERY long time. As we say in our regional dialect- it was so good, you wanted to sit in it.  I know, that does not translate very well. |

Can anyone explain cucumber sandwiches to me? During my time in NZ, I did encounter them and they always struck me as weird. Albeit not as weird as spaghetti in toast, which would be classed as a crime against humanity in Germany. Why cucumber of all things? Is this a thing from the war? Is this from a time they could not find anything more tasteless to put on toast? I am not the biggest fan of cucumber to start with, but to have it take centre stage on my sandwich, without much more to support it, just feels weird to me. |

Cucumber sarnies are grim. Cucumber does not belong in a sandwich. It belongs in a bin!

Ah...for that you can blame the British class system, the Victorians and the Edwardians.. www.hhhistory.com/2016/08/english-tea-history-of-cucumber-sandwich.htmlAs a child I can remember my grandmother "going posh" and doing cucumber sandwiches whenever she used to have friends or family members visiting her for tea (her dog merrily devoured the contents of my sandwich whenever she wasn't looking). Bland by itself for sure, but throw in either tuna or salmon with a dash of mayo... As for spaghetti on toast being "a crime against humanity" in Germany, I raise a quizzical eyebrow and a stiff upper lip to your comment against this staple of British Sunday teatimes, and respond in kind with but a single word : Zugenwurst. 😉😂 |
