What’s your favourite “go to” comfort food?

[JoanneD]

My kids would say the same - my lasagna and my lemon meringue pie. I semi-regularly stock their freezers with small pans of lasagna, either a meal for one or for two. Lemon meringue pie is a big favourite for a dessert at Easter, Thanksgiving, or anytime we are all together.

I love that @JoanneD my sister and I left home a long time ago, but my Mum still makes the same size portions of any dishes she cooks so we benefit from a freezer top-up every so often as well! It’s so appreciated.

My dog Sophie wanted in on this chat…

Her favorite go to food is white rice!

I think for me, it has to be a traditional roast dinner aka a Sunday roast!

You just reminded me of another dish I love, Shakshuka… yum!

I came across this article where a study was conducted and it revealed a surprising insight on how soup affects the brain. The study found comfort foods like soup can have a “significant soothing effect”, causing the same positive emotional response to when a person hugged their loved ones.
