Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: GUEST,MMario Date: 21 Jul 04 - 09:20 AM freshly made applesauce - with a bit of cinnamon, just the barest hint of nutmeg, sweetened a hair with brown sugar and served warm with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream in the center of the bowl. Now that's a comfort snack! A dessert my Mom used to make - grape juice sweetened and thickened with cornstarch; then sweet dumplings cooked in the juice. Serve the dumplings with the fruit sauce over them. Delicious!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Joybell Date: 18 Jul 04 - 11:59 PM beardedbruce, I can almost taste the Reese's cups. Would you like a CD to listen to while you sip your tea and eat your treats? Joy-with-her-mouth-watering. We used to work for a lady who owned a winery. She used to say "You can feel it doing you BAD!" every time she presented her double-chocolate mud-cake. Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Sooz Date: 18 Jul 04 - 07:22 AM I'll go along with the bread and butter pudding and the jacket potatoes (baked in the oven not the microwave) and add toast. Particularly cheese and marmite bread toasted late at night. (See recipe in Mudcat cookbook!) I have to admit that dripping is the only thing this vegetarian remembers wistfully! |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: beardedbruce Date: 18 Jul 04 - 06:46 AM Joybell, Sitting here with a bag of peanut butter M&Ms, and a mug of ginger tea. Haven't found the Reese's Pieces yet ( only checked one store) but I have the regular and mini Reese's cups. Now if I can find a box before they evaporate... (BG) 8-{E |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Stilly River Sage Date: 18 Jul 04 - 03:29 AM Translation on the three egg bread and butter custard: 180o C is equal to 356o F. That sounds like a wonderful recipe! (I searched for a converter and found this. I attempted a cut and paste with the result, but got an interesting effect when I tried the usual right click on the selected text. I had to use ^C instead). SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: JennyO Date: 17 Jul 04 - 10:06 PM Oh, I see that John (jack halyard) called it MY apple crumble. Well I did tell him how grandma used to make it, but he was the one who actually made it last night. His alcoholic bread and butter custard with sultanas is to live for, too (I'd rather say live for than die for). Jenny |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: jack halyard Date: 17 Jul 04 - 08:33 PM Oh, looking back through the thread I notice Jenny O' HAS told you about the apple crumble. All that stuff about bread and salted dripping takes my back to my childhood. Mum used dripping to cook her superb Yorkshire puds with roast beef, as well as a traditional bread puddining which did not seem to use eggs. I remember one freezing night in Canberra, Australia, when a group of us were camping out to guard an outdoors theatre set we'd built. Somebody's mum arrived with several thermoses of coffee and two huge pans of a bread pud, steaming hot and crammed tight with sultanas, raisins and mixed peels. Comfort food!? I sit back and sigh. This is a very nice thread. Jack Halyard. |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: jack halyard Date: 17 Jul 04 - 08:18 PM One particularly nice one is a three egg bread and butter custard. I marinate sultanas in something alcoholic like Marsala or brandy, soft brown sugar and mixed spices. Meanwhile I butter a few slices of bread and beat up three eggs in milk. I then tear the bread up into approximately quarters, layer it in an oven dish with the lively sultanas. I pour the remaining marinade over the lot and squeeze it through the bread a bit. Finally I pour the egg mix over the top, press it with a fork to ensure absorption by the bread and bake in an oven at about 180 till cooked through. The interesting smell is usually a good indicator. On a bitter day with a howling Southerly outside, such as the current moment, this is a treat straight out of the oven. Only matched by Jenny O's apple crumbly, but I'm sure she'll tell yez all about that. Cheers, Jack Halyard. |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Joybell Date: 17 Jul 04 - 07:12 PM MMario, Yes American True-love calls the coconut on lamingtons "shredded" we call it shredded when it's in slightly bigger pieces. True-love hates the stuff. He's one of those people to whom the term "comfort food" has no meaning he says. You're quite right though, Stilly River Sage, there is a difference between "comfort snack" and "comfort food". I'm keen to try all the wonderful porridgey things here including yours. Here's the nearest thing to comfort food that I cook for True-love: 1. Chop 2 big brown onions and fry gently in 1 cup of olive oil. While these are browning - 2. Wash 1+3/4 cups of brown lentils and simmer in 6 cups of water with 1 dessertspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper,+ 1 dessertspoon mixed herbs. AND at the same time- 3. Put 2 cups of long-grain white rice in a bowl of water to soak. Cool your heels for a bit - about 20 mins or so until the lentils are soft and the onions brown. BUT don't go away and leave the boiling oil! Then Rinse and drain the rice and add it to the lentils and water. Add the onions and oil to the same pot. Simmer very gently for exactly 20 minutes. Be brave about the amount of oil because it feeds about 12 people, or 2 people about 6 times, in our case. It freezes well. Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Tracey Dragonsfriend Date: 17 Jul 04 - 03:24 PM Mmmm... comfort food... and it's cold & teeming with rain (in JULY!!), and now I want to EAT... Mum's potato & carrot soup, with toast Nanny's beef stew and dumplings, with mashed potatoes and mashed swede Spaghetti (Heinz, in a tin) on thick, buttered toast Mum's steak & kidney pudding Rice Creamola (a flavoured ground rice you boil up with milk, that you can't get any more) Mum's plaice & prawn roll-ups with mashed potatoes, when you're ill Chocolate pudding (hot cake) with chocolate custard You may have guessed that I LOVE my Mum's cooking! Still, she is a cookery teacher, so I have a good excuse. I can make all these things (except the Rice Creamola I can't get) myself, but they're just not the same... Cheers Tracey Dragonsfriend www.scorchpyro.co.uk |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: JennyO Date: 17 Jul 04 - 02:19 PM My dessert tonight reminded me of another one of my comfort foods - apple crumble and custard just like grandma used to make - and the one John makes is every bit as good. Yum! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Jul 04 - 01:58 PM It looks like you've all veered into the "comfort snack" territory. I can't imagine coming in after a long day, starving, wanting an old favorite--and sitting down to a plate of lamingtons. Though I can imagine a very nice morning tea break with a strong cup of English breakfast tea and a handful of those little Cadbury easter eggs (a really good firm dark chocolate with a thin hard colored shell). I discovered that combination by happy accident one time--and I'm careful not to indulge too often because it can be habit forming. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: PoppaGator Date: 17 Jul 04 - 01:41 PM I hadn't even thought to consider candy, but the mention of Reese's p.b. cups (a favorite of mine, readily available everywhere here in the US) reminds me of a couple of items I need to add to my list: Malted Milk Balls -- nowadays available mostly under the brnd name "Whoppers," packaged in waxed-cardboard milk-carton style boxes. Equally enjoyable whether chomped up whole or savored slowly by scraping the chocolate coating offv first and then letting the malted-milk innards melt in your month. Candy corn, aka "chicken corn," most commonly found around Halloween time. Pure sugar, low class, definitely a guilty pleasure. |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: open mike Date: 16 Jul 04 - 09:39 PM Violet Crumble!! That is the OZ treat that would be great to have! I would gladly send Reeses, although there is now a similar product made by Paul Newman's Own brand--i think there may be 3 cups in a pkg. they make choc. mint ones too! http://www.newmansown.com/ plus it is a better company to support that many other food manufacturers. they donate a lot to charity, and are careful what ingredients they use...ORGANIC. http://www.newmansownorganics.com/food_peanut.html however the violet crumble is made by nestle' which i remeber one time boycotting because they hired nurse impersonators to advertise baby formula.. but ooh those violet crumbles are like nothing in the world! (well they are almost like chocolate malted milk balls...) http://www.nestle.com.au/schoolprojects/violetcrumble/body.asp |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 16 Jul 04 - 09:14 PM Dessicated coconut is the dried shredded form, not a powder in Australia. It may look like a powder in a photo, but that is because the chocolate flavoured liquid causes quite a lot of the coconut to adhere, some of it soaking up and turning brown as well as sticking well.

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Sorcha Date: 16 Jul 04 - 07:43 PM Pizza. Chile..either red or green. Lasagne. Meatloaf made MY way. Baked (jacket) potatoes with toppings. Potato soup or almost any kind of soup (in winter) |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Joybell Date: 16 Jul 04 - 07:04 PM What a wonderful friend you are beardedbruce. Would you like a CD in exchange? Might be easier to send than lamingtons. Of course you are welcome here anytime to be fed lamingtons or whatever. I'll send you my address. Regards Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Ellenpoly Date: 16 Jul 04 - 11:36 AM CHEESE! The problem is that my body is no longer happy with this comfort food, making it uncomfortable (and mighty smelly) to eat. Sigh. ..xx..e |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: MMario Date: 16 Jul 04 - 11:04 AM I was just researching lamingtons - in the pictures it looks like your "dessicated coconut" is almost a powder - the closest US equivilant would be more "shreds" - makes a big difference in the look - and I suspect the mouth feel. Probably not so much the taste. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 16 Jul 04 - 10:51 AM In my younger days, our church youth group took orders for over 200 dozen lamingtons... we made about 120 dozen that night with all of us working, but about 2 am or so, the adults decided that we would call it quits. The uncut trays were taken back to the baker. We didn't touch lamingtons for a few months.... but still like them now... Prefer the very small ones to the large ones - more chocolate that way! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: beardedbruce Date: 16 Jul 04 - 10:11 AM Joybell; Reese's peanut butter cups come in two sizes, now- full size, about 1.5 to 2 inches, and small ones about 1 inch. They also have Reese's Pieces ( of ET fame) that are like M&Ms with peanut butter. Let me know what you want, and send an address... Not sure if we need to pay customs on it- so I will make it a gift- that should work... 8={E |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Bert Date: 16 Jul 04 - 10:08 AM By fresh dates do you mean the yellow or purple ones, crunchy and fresh from the palm, or the freshly dried ones? |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 16 Jul 04 - 09:53 AM lamingtons are Australia's national cake (or would that be pavlova?) butter cake cut in squares, covered in choccie icing then rolled in dessicated coconut. They are made in their zillions on every fundraising occasion & might be the Oz version of US Girl Scout cookies. I'm not a sweet tooth (my Goddess figure is maintained by savoury food!!), so my comfort foods include the skin of roasted chicken, yummy toasted cheese on thick grainy/seedy bread with mini-tomatoes or tinned mushrooms in vinegar below the cheese, Corn chippies, salt & vinegar chippies, cashews, and fruit including sultana grapes, cherries & a fresh date most days (it's the sweetest thing I eat) 11.45pm, normally time for a spot of yoghurt & a date, but the dates finished yesterday (waaaaahhhh), & I don't feel hungry sandra ps Pavlova = meringue base full of fruit & cream, which reminds me of a very tummy & delicious taste reat recommended by a friend - fresh date dipped in rich (unsweetened) cream. hmmm, maybe I'll get some cream tomorrow along with the dates & the other groceries. |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: beardedbruce Date: 16 Jul 04 - 09:13 AM What are they? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Joybell Date: 16 Jul 04 - 08:10 AM beardedbruce, could be a good idea. How are you fixed for souvenir egg-timers? Vegemite - no you make that there now! Pavlova? It's a bit fragile on the outside and squishy on the inside. Chocolate Blinky Bills? I know! I know! Lamingtons! True-love says he never saw them anywhere but here. Don't know how well they'd travel.

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Sweetfia Date: 16 Jul 04 - 07:48 AM Mushrooms!!! Sometimes though they look too sexy to eat, so i just stare at their juicy bits for awhile...then eat them with the juices dripping down my fingers. |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: beardedbruce Date: 16 Jul 04 - 07:31 AM Joybell: So , is there a crying need for the ( quiet) transfer of difficult to locate comfort foods? There is no problem getting Reese's here...What can you send back in trade? (BG) 8-{E |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Joybell Date: 16 Jul 04 - 06:44 AM Reese's peanut butter cups. Can't get them here. True-love introduced me to them. They appeared in our local supermarket unexpectedly once - probably imported by mistake. Everybody eyed them with suspicion. Finally they sold them off cheap - to me mainly. Jenny you can still get egg-timers. I have a beauty. Found it in an op. shop (thrift shop). It has Mary and Baby Jesus on the top and a lable that says "Shepparton". We call it our "Little Lord Shepparton timer". |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: JennyO Date: 16 Jul 04 - 01:06 AM "kitchen sink sandwich" - LOL. I know them! To answer you, open mike, LSA (DEFINITELY not LSD :-))is a ground mix of linseed(flaxseed), sunflower seeds and almonds, which we can buy quite readily in health food shops here in Oz. It is quite yummy sprinkled on oatmeal porridge. Here is a recipe to make it yourself: L S A: (LINSEED-SUNFLOWER-ALMOND) from Dr Sandra Foley, Goodlife Healthlink, Hamilton 1 cup whole linseeds 2/3 cup sunflower seeds 1/3 cup almonds Blend all together in a blender, and place in a sealed jar in the fridge. This healthy mixture can be sprinkled on puddings, porridge, used in baking such as muffins etc. There is more about it here on this website Oh yes, and I have a fondness for the soft boiled eggs in an egg cup and toast "soldiers", just like mum used to make. Poppagator, we can get the little egg cups here in Oz. I don't know about where you are though. As for the eggtimers - I'm not sure cos I haven't looked. I use the clock on the microwave to time things. That's kinda sad, isn't it, the old things disappearing. Speaking of the old things, our electric jug has just stopped working - less than 12 months old, so we pulled out the kettle and started boiling our water on the gas stove. I like the friendly sight and sound of a kettle boiling on the stove so much, that I might not bother to get another electric jug! Jenny |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: PoppaGator Date: 15 Jul 04 - 05:39 PM Soft-boiled (3 minute) eggs definitely remind me of the good old days at home with Mom. We'd eat 'em on toast, just as someone described two days ago, or sometimes right out of the shell, with or without an eggcup, scooping out one spoonful at a time. You'd have to sprinkle a little salt and pepper into the remains of the egg after every spoonful or two. Breakfast eaten "out," at least in the US, generally features eggs either fried on a grill (either scrambled or fried intact, i.e., sunnyside or over-easy, etc.) or poached (as for Eggs Benedict) -- never soft-boiled. Soft-boiled eggs seem to be a strictly at-home phenomenon, and perhaps a disappearing, old-fashioned one. Neither my wife nor I *ever* soft-boil eggs. Are egg cups (designed to hold a boiled-in-its-shell egg upright, small end up) still available? What about egg times (3-minute hourglasses)? My other comfort-food favorites: Anything featuring melted cheese (grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup is high on my list, just as for so many others); Meatloaf with ketchup/mashed potatoes with gravy/green beans with almonds; Baked bean sandwich on a slice of buttered white bread, folded in half -- Dad's specialty. (In general, I avoid soft-white supermarket bread at all costs, preferring almost anything else -- whole wheat, multi-grain, rye, pumpernickel, French, Italian, etc. But some sandwiches just cry out for lowest-common-denominator white bread. This is one; another is the "kitchen sink sandwich": sliced tomatoes with lots of mayonnaise on white, which oozes juice and mayo and thus must be eaten over the sink.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: GUEST,smoker Date: 15 Jul 04 - 11:13 AM to ask people to not smoke while you are eating should NEVER be considered rude. It's a common courtesy. Most smokers will automatically not smoke around people eating - or if they do light up it's because they didn't notice someone was eating. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Jul 04 - 11:05 AM Oatmeal (porridge) for breakfast with brown sugar and soy milk is a favorite here! I forego the raisins--the kids won't eat them, but I like them in it also when I'm on my own. One year a friend and I had partied heartily on New Year's Eve, and the next morning we left the comfort of a friend's house to drive about 90 miles north to where we were going to school. We stopped at Island Crossing at a little restaurant there famous for it's good oatmeal. The place was packed, so in order to eat soon and relieve our aching heads, we asked if we could sit at the back of the room at the then-unused bar. We sat down, said oatmeal arrived in all of it's pomp and glory. I sprinkled sugar and poured milk, and then another customer moved back to our area, and as she sat beside me began a recognizable rummaging through her purse. I recognized the signs from years with my mother--and lo and behold, this woman pulled out a pack of cigarettes. I knew that the oatmeal was going to fix my head perfectly, but the cigarette smoke was going to make me feel sick for hours. So I simply said "would you mind not lighting that here while I'm eating?" You'd think I'd told her she had three heads--she ungraciously stuffed her cigarettes into her purse and stomped off. My friend laughed--this was back in the 1970s when asking people not to smoke around you was considered rude to the smoker (ha!). But I felt so much better for it. And on hindsight, I figure she was over near us (and doubly pissed off) because someone else had already kicked her out of their space. :) SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: JennyO Date: 15 Jul 04 - 10:46 AM Tonight I had part of a large flavourful tomato from my garden, on toast, with melted tasty cheese on top, and spinach - also freshly picked from my garden - very lightly cooked, on the side. This is definitely one of my favourite comfort foods. I like just about anything with tomatoes - I can't imagine not having any in the house, and preferably home grown ones. Another one is Weetbix (shredded wheat biscuits), softened with hot water, with sugar and milk - and a bit of cream when I am feeling really in need of comfort. Weetbix has always represented comfort food to me since the time I was in hospital at the age of 10, having had my tonsils out. My throat was really sore, and they gave me weetbix. I had never had it before - I didn't even know what it was - and I thought the brown mass looked pretty ghastly, but it felt good and tasted good. Then there is hot porridge with brown sugar and milk, cream, or soy milk. I actually find that soy milk goes really well with porridge, although I am not keen on it the rest of the time. LSA sprinkled on it is really nice too. Last night's crumpets and honey with a cup of tea were pretty good, and even better are hot cinnamon donuts with a cup of coffee. Ooh, this thread is making me hungry....... |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: GUEST,marks Date: 14 Jul 04 - 09:30 PM Start with white bread. Cover with processed cheese spread (Velveeta works here) Top with sliced tomato Top with sliced onion Top with partially cooked bacon Put under broiler for 2-3 minutes till the bacon is crispy and the cheese melts, browns, and kind of runs all over the pan. It doesnt get any better - particularly if the tomato is from your own garden. Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 14 Jul 04 - 08:04 PM MMario There are many different types of potatoes - soame are beeter for baking, some for deep frying, some for mash, etc. BTW, last night on the ABC Inventors show, there was a guy who has patented a way to make any bread like substance from potatoes - pizza, hamburgers, etc... |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: Bat Goddess Date: 14 Jul 04 - 07:40 PM Egg nog, scrambled eggs with cream cheese, eggs florentine with either hollandaise or (as prepared at home) with mayonnaise flavored with Pommery mustard, CHEESE, any kind of cheese, blue cheese, limburger cheese, cream cheese, brie or camembert on fresh crusty bread -- even better if you BUTTER the bread first, cream puffs (preferably homemade), cheap store brand macaroni and cheese mixed with creamed onions. Yeah, and that store brand cream of mushroom soup with the saltines and butter added just so that Jeri mentioned. THAT became a comfort food when it was the only thing I could stomach during a bout with a kidney stone. Favorite foods are one thing, but COMFORT foods are an entirely different category. Oh, Ted Scourtis's clam chowder at The Grog (he's not there anymore) in Newburyport , Massachusetts and a chef's salad after getting back from an afternoon's sail -- especially if the weather was brisk. And I just sopped up all of the sauce from the Coquille St. Jacques that Curmudgeon produced to celebrate Bastille Day -- washed down with a delightful white bordeau. TODAY that's comfort food! (Well, of course . . . cheese again.) Hesperis, I've got a recipe for honey ginger lemonade you might be interested in . . . Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food From: hesperis Date: 14 Jul 04 - 02:51 PM Besides all the stuff that's already mentioned... Fried Salmon Sandwiches with Honey Lemonade. Me and my mother used to make those every summer. Canned sockeye salmon, herbs, minced celery, mayo, mix them all together. Then toast the bread, make the sandwich, and fry it in a pan with a bit of olive oil. Honey lemonade is made with either real lemons or realemon juice, mixed with honey to make a syrup and then mixed with water. Takes longer to describe than to make, really. |
