Is there a childhood comfort food that you remember that you still enjoy now as a grown-up?

My mom used to give me noodles with hot milk and salt that I still have every now and then on a cold day.
 

Most foods my mother cooked were comfort foods, she was a fantastic cook., but if I could only eat one right now, off the top of my head, I guess I'll have to go with her mac and cheese,

no wait, change that, her chicken and dumplings.
 

My mother used to make long-bone shoulder lamb chops, fried on the stove and served them with homemade mashed potatoes...used to comfort me just fine! :cool:
 
Rkunsaw,
We had that too, but with canned tuna, instead of chipped beef. And, my father called it SOS. He said he came to like it while in the navy during War ll. One of my favorite dishes was sliced roast beef and brown gravy on toast. It was called Roast Beef on an Opened Faced Sandwich. I haven't see it on the menu of restaurants in many years. :wave:
 
I have never in my life heard of chipped Beef creamed or otherwise...so I just googled it.... sorry folks but it sounds revolting..who knew there was somewhere in the world you could buy beef in a jar? :magnify:

Yes,my mom made Creamed Tuna on Toast a lot and so do I. It`s one of my kid`s favorites. My mom also occasionally made Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast-I didn`t like it because it was too salty. Ina,here we call that sandwich a Hot Roast Beef sandwich. Most café`s offer it-that and a Hot Turkey Sand.

I was just remembering Creamed Chipped Beef the other day-even before this thread,and when I was picking up tuna at the store,I looke to see if chipped beef was even still available. It was,although in a much larger jar than it was years ago. Over $7.00 a jar,and it was basically round slices of "formed" beef,stacked together and put in a jar. When I was a kid,it was smaller pieces of beef,not so "phony" looking,all crammed into a jar. Probably even more processed these days....
