Favorite Comfort Foods That Bring Back Memories?

Mine might sound yucky but I loved my mom's liver and onions smothered with gravy with mashed potatoes on the side. I haven't met anyone yet or any restaurant that can fix it like my mom's. I loved my mom's bread pudding. I haven't tasted any as good as hers either.

I can eat a lot of things, but not liver. I hate it so bad that I may even report your post to management as "unexceptable." 🤬
 
As a kid, I loved popsicles. It was a go to comfort food. I haven't had one in 50 years, maybe a lot longer, yes I think longer. Even at his very moment thinking about it, I have no interest in trying one again. But ice cream is a different story. I have to take special cautions around the ice cream section at the store.
 
On the subject of food that brings back memories. When I was a kid we only ever had white bread and margarine if we wanted a sandwich. We grew up very hungry

On several occasions I was taken into foster care, and at one foster home.. where there was 16 children... they had cooks, and we had 3 meals a day.. unheard of in our house..

..however the one food that brings back memories is the wholemeal toast that we got every breakfast. It was thick freshly made, and we were permitted to put butter AND Marmalade on it. I was 9 or 10 years old... it was like a piece of heaven on a plate to me..

When I returned home again , a year later... there was no more of that... but as soon as I was grown and able to buy my own food... I immediately returned to that glorious Toast , butter and marmalde...

..and it just reminded me today because I just had that.. and I realise it's one of the few things from my childhood that I still love to this day

My #1 all time favorite comfort food that I've indulged in all my life is ice cream. Preferably Haagen Dazs vanilla or rum raisin. Second choice Friendly's royal banana split and sometimes I feel like having mint chocolate chip. I'm actually an ice cream addict, so I can't keep the 48 oz size in the house for but a day or so.

Bread pudding has been popular in the US for a very long time. My GM's parents were immigrants from Sweden and Norway, but GM made a mean bread pudding when I was growing up. Don't know if her mother made it or if GM learned it elsewhere.

Either way, thank you, GB, for coming up with bread pudding. I've always loved it!

yes but it was also the liver and onions as well that tipped the balance for me that her mum might have had British ancestry
