Subject: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 11 Dec 10 - 07:14 PM I make mac and cheese with Cracker Barrel Old cheedar. It's gooood. It's decadent. It's a once every month or two comfort/treat. But, this week, Kraft Dinner is 59p a package and I haven't eaten that garbage since I was a kid. I have the water near a boil and I am going to pig out... I hope it's as tastey as I remember it when it's all we could afford. So, what's your comfort/treat that's deacdent garbage that you KNOW is bad for you that you PIG OUT ON? |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Jeri Date: 11 Dec 10 - 07:26 PM I can pig out on Kraft Mac & Cheese, but for my birthday, I had Annie's Mac & Cheese--just powdered cheese without preservatives. It's probably just as fattening. I love the frozen fettuccine alfredo, which is just uppity mac & cheese. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Janie Date: 11 Dec 10 - 07:59 PM Armour's canned corned beef hash. (don't tell anyone, please?) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: LilyFestre Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:03 PM Spam and mac & cheese with spicy mustard in it. Yep. Spam. Love it. My husband tells me it's made of "lips and assholes." LOL. Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:08 PM Urp. I ate the whole thing. It was delicious and terribly decadent. But, I did it "healthy"... no marg or milk. >;-) I expect tomorrow morning might be unpleasant but I was comforted. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:09 PM Spam... canned heartburn... excellent choice! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:09 PM Take a block of Philly Cream Cheese, freeze totally solid. Then chip/shatter pieces off. It becomes very brittle, so if you use a knife the right way, you can break nice squarish lumps off. Eat while solid - a sort of sour ice cream taste. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Janie Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:21 PM Spam. Oh yeh. One of my favorite meals as a kid when Mom and Dad were absolutely broke only I didn't know it was baked Spam and canned sweet potatoes. Mom would put the rectangle of spam in the center of a glass pie plate, and empty a can of drained sweet potatoes around it. She'd make a syrup from water, brown sugar and vanilla flavoring, pour that over, and pop it in the oven for 20 minutes to heat through. A can of peas sprinkled with nutmeg was the typical side dish. I thought it a meal fit for kings. Working with the poor as I do, I know this is still considered a fine meal by many. I don't remember mac and cheese mixes when I was a kid. Mom made mac and cheese with velveeta. Mac and cheese was always a side dish unless Mom splurged and cut hot dogs into bite-sized pieces to stir into the finished product. If there wasn't meat then it wasn't a meal in our house in the 50's. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: katlaughing Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:31 PM Scrambled eggs with a piece of toast and hot chocolate to dunk it in. It was a quick Sunday evening winter meal after coming down off the mountain where we played in the snow half the day in wet, soggy woolens! But, I don't have to water down the eggs like my mom had to to make them stretch to feed all seven of us and I have more butter/oleo. Well, she did, too, after all the kids grew up and moved out.:-) |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: kendall Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:56 PM Janie, I love canned corned beef! For comfort food, Chocolate ice cream, Reese's peanut butter cups or Oreos. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Boho Date: 11 Dec 10 - 09:09 PM Half a can of tuna, mixed with half a can of Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom - microwaved, on toast. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Rapparee Date: 11 Dec 10 - 09:25 PM Freshly caught catfish, breaded in corn meal and deep-fried in lard. Peanut butter chocolate cake (no eggs, recipe from about 1948). Well prepared liver and onions. Fried calves' brains on...no, I've actually eaten that but it wasn't by choice!!! It has the consistency of fried fat globules. Panhaus, fried and served with syrup. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Jeri Date: 11 Dec 10 - 09:42 PM Oh yeah! Corned beef hash! I never got it as a kid because my dad had had some sort of post-traumatic WWII reaction to it. (Apparently, he ate a LOT of it.) Naturally, the first time I tried it, I loved it. Over-easy fried eggs with toast and bacon, or a cheese omelet. And for the grossest of the gross, something I encountered in Texas: Frito pie. You take some Hormel chili, heat it up (add hot sauce to your taste), dump Fritos in, add grated Mexican-style cheese, smoosh it all and throw on a glop of sour cream, if you like it. |

Use as sandwich filling or be really gross and eat it straight from the mixing bowl. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Ed T Date: 11 Dec 10 - 09:52 PM I like Cheesies. They taste real good. But, they are mostly fat and they make my fingers orange. Muchie or fire starter? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Ed T Date: 11 Dec 10 - 09:55 PM And, I should not forget to tell you, that my sister loves potato chips and ice cream (salt and sugar).She scoops up the ice cream with the chips:) |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: LilyFestre Date: 11 Dec 10 - 10:06 PM I also really like to dip salty french fries from McDonald's into a vanilla milkshake....I do it maybe once every 5 years...love that sweet and salty combination!!! And every great once in awhile I love to take frozen Lite CoolWhip and dunk Wheat Thins in it. YUM! Waffles with lots of butter, real maple syrup and sausage is a hit too... Junk like this has been gone from my diet for a long time but I still love it!!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 11 Dec 10 - 11:40 PM I also love Aussie 'potato scallops' as I previously mentioned elsewhere. Can be high in fat content though ... |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Bill D Date: 12 Dec 10 - 10:21 AM Anything with White chocolate & macademia nuts as ingredients. I got hooked on Pepperidge Farm cookies, but now everyone is finding the combination sells. (click the link!) (Yes, Pepperidge Farm has many other good ones, but I seldom buy them except on sale, and then I OD on my favs. If I make 2 packages last 3-4 days, I figger my will power is in good shape.) I ate a LOT of Spam as a kid...mostly just fried and put on bread with ketchup...I eat some about every 5 years now, while my wife looks on in horror. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 12 Dec 10 - 01:39 PM Ooooo, me guts. The KD was great going down but I think it's gonna take a while to digest the toxic glue. Even if I eat veggies and for ten years there'll probably be some still adhered to my alimentary canal. Scarey thing is, I bought two boxes and I am too cheap to... hmmm... to the food bank it goes. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: GUEST,Neil D Date: 12 Dec 10 - 01:54 PM Talk about gross. My kid mixes creamy peanut butter into his mac & cheese. And $.59 a box is expensive. Around here we can get generic mac cheese for $.29. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 13 Dec 10 - 04:48 AM My Gross comfort food is mainly to indulge through the depressing winter months:- Toasted soldiers thinly spread with marmite dunked in coffee. Kit-kat fingers dunked in coffee and then licking the melted chocolate off same with a Crunchie but sucking the centre out. Mashed potato on slices of farmhouse bread with butter melting underneath. Sarson Vinegar sandwiches. Crisp sandwiches with a sprinkling of vinegar. Farleys rusks in hot milk. |

It becomes very brittle, so if you use a knife the right way, you can break nice squarish lumps off. Eat while solid - a sort of sour ice cream taste." Wouldn't it be easier to chop it into cubes BEFORE you freeze it? Or am I missing something here... |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Becca72 Date: 13 Dec 10 - 10:22 AM A favorite of mine that I just made the other night: Annie's shells and cheese with a can of tuna mixed in. YUM! |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 13 Dec 10 - 10:31 AM When I was a kid, in the late Pleistocene era, my mother would often ask what my brother and I wanted for supper. The answer was often, often: Fried Spam and sweet potatoes! That would be canned sweet potatoes, by the way. Spam cut about a half inch thick and fried. And, although we didn't specifically say so, it was assumed that that set of delicacies would be accompanied by canned jellied cranberry sauce. Haven't had that in More's the pity, more's the pity.

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Becca72 Date: 13 Dec 10 - 10:47 AM I don't like Spam! |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Bill D Date: 13 Dec 10 - 10:50 AM ..not even green eggs & spam? ;>) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Genie Date: 13 Dec 10 - 09:15 PM A whole pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia or Chocolate Fudge Brownie. It may not be gross, but what it does to my waistline (and probably my arteries) IS! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 14 Dec 10 - 05:48 AM I have found that with ice cream, the low fat types are useless - I end up eating far more - and they are higher in sugar anyway, so little effective less calorie input... So the most indulgent ones are the ones for me - I can only have small quantities before I am sated. Perhaps not as GROSS as others ... |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Joe_F Date: 14 Dec 10 - 08:32 PM Broiled chicken wings. Kasha with the chicken goop mixed in. Lima beans with butter. Dago red. Pound cake with brandy in it, and sour cream, orange marmalade, & granulated brown sugar on top. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 14 Dec 10 - 11:51 PM "Wouldn't it be easier to chop it into cubes BEFORE you freeze it?" Suspect you have never had Phily Cream Cheese. Definitely easier to do it my way - like a brickie chopping a brick to size with a trowel. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: LadyJean Date: 15 Dec 10 - 12:29 AM Here I sit, nostalgic for my mom's spinach soup. She made it herself. It was like pea soup, only thinner and a nice, dark green. The soup was delicious, and it was such fun to bring a thermos full to school, and holding the bottle well above the cup pour it so everyone could see that dark green liquid. One friend thought it was moss soup. I wonder if I could find her recipe. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: EBarnacle Date: 15 Dec 10 - 12:52 AM Abuelita Hot Chocolate with Gosling's Black Seal rum Grilled cheese made with matzo and extra sharp Black Diamond cheddar and tomatos, as well as sliced chiorizo on top. Soup based on the juices from gefilte fish, shrimp, chinese fish balls, bok choy, broccoli, water to thin it, hoisin sauce [just a bit], mushrooms and bits of salmon. Sounds gross, tastes great. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Dec 10 - 02:17 AM Well, I just ordered my fruitcake, my annual contribution to the Trappist monks. Brandy and fruitcake, is there anything closer to heaven? -Joe- |
