What’s your go-to comfort food?

WordPress picture library doesn’t seem to find images I want….

I typed in fish and chips in the search bar and it came up with fairy cakes!

But anyway Fish and chips is my favourite comfort food. Particularly when I’ve been out all day and am to tired to even microwave something.

Does WordPress even know what fish and chips is? Battered or breaded white fish like Cod or Haddock, deep fried. Sliced peeled potato’s in strips about 1 or 2 centimeters square also deep fried. Both till nice and golden brown and crispy.

Salt and vinegar to taste. Sometimes accompanied with mushy peas or tartare sauce or both.

Food to make you smile.

Ice-cream

What’s your go-to comfort food?

Just lately I could have eaten ice-cream for breakfast, dinner and tea. That’s not good. It’s the only thing I feel comfortable eating!

I like pizza, lasagne, Thai green curry, masala, sushi, fish and chips, and lots of other things. But when it’s getting hot I like ice-cream, specifically the adult sort with lots of flavour combinations. Icelandic berries, peppermint and coffee, mango fizz, (not salted caramel).

I’m happy to just eat chocolate ice-cream as long as its not too sweet. I’d try different flavours. There is apparently an ice-cream parlor in London that sells odd ones, like piccalilli, vinegar, baked beans, coffee, jaffa cake. It sounds bizarre but they even have soy sauce flavour.

I’m thinking of going to the freezer now for a small tub of the stuff!

What’s your go-to comfort food?

I couldn’t find a photo of a battered fish and chips but this was the best I could get off WordPress free photo library.

If its comfort food you want I don’t think there is anything better. The fish needs to be fried in thin batter, the chips soft on the inside crispy but not hard on the outside. Not too oily. Lashings (did I really write that? ) of salt and vinegar. Wrapped in greaseproof paper then newspaper for preference.

Why? It was a treat when I was a child. The chips and batter used to be orange coloured because they used food colouring where I came from. If you couldn’t afford fish you had “crispy bits” which were bits of batter that had come loose off the fish and were floating seperatly in the frying fat. In those days I think they used lard or beef fat to cook in.

So that’s my comfort food, my go to meal. I don’t have it very often, but when I do I really enjoy it.
