I agree with Russ about those carbs -- pasta, potatoes, all that stuff. Often melted cheese and lots of butter involved. Soups and stews can qualify, too.

Comfort food can be for supper at home, especially in winter. Or comfort food can be for a celebration.

Take a look at a Paula Deen cookbook. I have said here on TOTV before that I live in fear of Paula Deen. I know that she is the only woman that Mr. Boomer would leave me for. He thinks Paula would cook that comfort food for him every day, 3 times a day. I just know if Paula Deen pointed one of her cooking utensils in Mr. Boomer's direction, he would be gone from me so fast. I live in fear. He keeps asking me if I want to take a road trip to Savannah. (Is that where Paula lives?)

I haven't watched Paula Deen's show for quite a while. But when I last watched it, she was always cooking that stuff for her husband who was getting fatter and fatter and redder and redder. But Mr. B. just sees how happy Mr. Paula looks when she serves him all that comfort food.

Sometimes comfort food might be ice cream. Or chocolate.

When things get a bit stressful, like when I get really worried about Mr. Boomer leaving me for Paula Deen, comfort food can be my drug of choice.

I think comfort food is a relative thing. To each, his (her) own.
