But why don't your comfort foods have spices?

Yep because no British person ever eats curry as a comfort food.....

Or a Kebab, absolutely fucking loaded with enough spice to blow your insides out the morning after.

In this context I think it's comfort food because it's kiddy food. Something simple and familiar that reminds you of being younger. In England, children's menus will usually contain basic things like chicken nuggets and fish fingers that aren't (heavily) spiced.
