Work is super stressful right now and I could use some comfort food ideas. Especially since mine tend to involve carbs but I think carbs are making me bloat in a way they didn’t when I was 20. (Aside: getting older sucks.) Never been a fan of ice cream either.

Mine are typically mashed potatoes, or potatoes generally, and plain bean and rice burritos, cheese optional. My husband thinks I’m crazy because it’s all so plain but when I’m sick or stressed and my stomach is upset, that’s what I want.

Homemade pasta sauce made from ground beef and pork, in the style of a Bolognese / Pörkölt crossover.

Tangerines, sweet, easy to peel, healthy and you dont have to cook.

Law of the jungle. Bad luck for them they’re so delicious.

My go to is always classic Mince and Tatties. My grandpa made it most nights when I was growing up and I find it very calming and satisfying.

Nice and plain as well so it might work for you

Mince and tatties? Whereabouts in Scotland are you from, pal?

My partner's go to is Chicken and Biscut crackers with Canned Cheese

I like the dollar cheeseburgers from McDonald's that aren't $1 anymore.

Canned Cheese

That's a thing? I didn't know that was a thing. What's it taste like?

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It tastes closest to American cheese/craft singles, but it's more of a liquid than a solid.

the amount of dead animals required for this thread is mad.

[–] lisko@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

And dead plants too
