Comfort Food

On this dark and damp morning, I am thinking about comfort food. Yesterday's lunch was a reminder of the old days. Drinking the hot soy bean milk brought back memories of the family grinding the beans on an old stone grinder. Later on, we used an electric blender. It also reminded me of breakfasts in Taipei at the famous shop near my grandfather's house.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes make me feel all warm inside. Chicken pot pie. Curry chicken and rice. Steamed pork soup dumplings. Pancakes.

Is it possible to have something cold as comfort food? Maybe. I think some people eat ice cream but I don't. I really don't think I have ever considered something cold as comforting.

So what do you consider "comfort food"?
