Gummy bearrrsss!! Haribo brand. The quality varies from bag to bag, so I like the fresh softer ones. I eat this every night.
Publix Birthday Cake ice cream.
Ben n Jerry's Cheesecake ice cream.
Arroz con picadillo - Cuban meal of ground beef stewed in a tomato sauce. It's kind of like a dry ground beef spaghetti sauce. Mix and eat with rice. Fun fact! When I was a child, I had to eat this meal every week on Tuesdays. Btw, I'm autistic.
Grilled Cheese, PB&J, and KD
I also enjoy some grilled cheese from time to time.
Honestly.. Taco Bell lol. (when done correctly) Preparing food is much too much most days for me.
Crinkle cut French fries, air fried Cover it in smoked shredded chicken Cover that in cheese sauce Throw on a nice, light shredded cheese blend Cover it in bacon Slather BBQ sauce all over it Die of a heart attack at 25.
huh, you must really like cheese. 🧀 I also like it
Kettle corn! I learned how to make it myself in my stovetop popcorn spinner pot. Super easy, helps mitigate migraines (salt and sugar help raise my chronic low blood pressure), and has a very unique texture that I love.
Beef maruchan ramen. Basically almost entirely what I survived on until I was 25.
I used to do chicken + mushroom flavour when I was very small but they discontinued it.
Right now they are coconut butter, peanut butter, carob chips, protein bars, and beef sticks.
Carelian pies.
Pasta and/or curry.
Spinach feta quiche or Käsespätzle (a special kind of pasta, fried with onions and cheese). Some days I need a chicken nugget burger from Burger King. There's just something about that soft burger bun with just slightly crispy chicken nuggets that I crave sometimes.
Comfort food is a lot more about texture than taste to me.
Anything, all food is comfort food, even Indian curries
Why wouldn't a curry be comfort food?
That shit can burn its way through titanium
Hutspot. It is also super easy to make and not exactly expensive, which is a big plus both for the days I have no energy left for cooking something else, and/or the budget is a bit tight.
Crackers and hommus. Not exactly sufficient when I'm very hungry
Add carrots, celery, cucumber, etc.
Salty snacks, fried or baked 😁. Failing that, those tiny 7" pizzas that fit into my Ninja, ready in literally 8 mins
Used to like preparing food, but seems like such a hassle now
Try putting a tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar into your oatmeal
Not sure if you're doing this to get people to do something silly and laugh later... does it work?
Makes it taste like apples, sounds weird but is delicious, does have to be cooked
Alright... I'll let you know how I get on.
Raw Carrots with Mayonnaise/Curry-Dip. Easy to make and tastes identical every Time. Also Potatochips
Same. Oatmeal with fruit, same reason. Plus I use frozen fruit, so it's easy to stock up on.
Tnx for sharing. This made me happy :)
CW: meat
Chicken tendies. I finally figured out to make them efficiently and in-bulk from scratch, so I just make as many as I can at a time and freeze the rest for later. They're great in sandwiches too.
The tendies last for like a week until I finish them. My understanding is that they're good in a freezer for about a month, but I always recommend checking food safety facts for yourself.
On the day I'm actually cooking them, I'll set aside one breast, butterfly it, and cook the entire piece as one massive slab of chicken. The one I just did took up the whole plate!
The largest chicken "tendie" I ever did was back before I went to engineering school and I had time to do sous vide. I used sous vide to cook the largest chicken breast I could find all the way through, then fried the outside and breading to golden brown. It was like a chicken steak, like a full inch thick slab of comfort. It was obscenely good.
