This is GREAT! It's a rainy day here in Londontown, and once again, a thread found at Mudcat is making me smile and remember my past.

So, the yiddish version of "drippings", made from chicken fat, is schmaltz. I loved it hot and cold, slavered over a piece of rye bread. I also love hot drippings from roast lamb.

It's interesting to me how often our cultural heritages are showing through by what we still love and consider comfort food. With me as well, it "boils down" to my mother.

So here's my list (having had some of them recalled by you guys, thanks)

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Chopped Black Olives Sandwich
Tuna Salad Sandwiches on White Bread
Chocolate Phosphates (YES! I wouldn't have remembered this one, so thanks Martin Gibson)
Roast Chicken with Matzo Dumplings
French Toast
Eggs Eggs Eggs...all manifestations thereof
Crisp Bacon
Chinese Food...especially Egg Rolls and Moo Goo Gai Pan

There's more to this list, folks, but I've just made myself VERY HUNGRY! Thanks again for getting me reminiscing.
