    My comfort food is Pho. It's a Vietnamese soup that's made with an aromatic spice infused beef broth, with chunks of meat, noodles, and bean sprouts, and I like to top it with hoisin sauce, soy* sauce, Sriracha and green onion. I am Italian American with some Irish ancestry, so I am not vietnamese. But my parents raised me to try foods from all different backgrounds and national/cultural origin, and Pho has been a staple comfort food in my house since I was a toddler *Edit

    I'm from the United States and my ultimate comfort food is my mom's chocolate chip cookies. She has a special way of making them but I've never seen used anywhere else or by anyone else. she always starts with shortening instead of butter and uses equal amounts brown sugar and regular sugar and she adds water and a blend of semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. She always make them really massive and when they come out of the oven they're just super gooey and warm and delicious. If I'm ever feeling down or stressed or miss her then I make her chocolate chip cookies and it never fails to cheer me up.

  • @believeinmatter
    I love how 90% of the people’s favourite comfort food is just stuff they got as a kid. People are nostalgic about their childhood without even realizing it
  • @edim108
    I'm polish and my comfort food is "pierogi ruskie". It's dumplings with potato, cheese and garlic filling, boiled and then fried in bacon fat with crispy bits of bacon and sometimes caramelized onion sprinkled on top, with a bit of butter for that extra creamy taste. I can eat them by kilograms!

    The entire world: “so we make it from scratch, my nana’s special ingredient, you can put beef or pork or vegetables in it...” UK /US “PACKET OF SLICED BREAD”
  • My favourite comfort fruit of my culture is Jak, the Jak Fruit. It can be prepared using a lot of methods and we eat it with bread, rice, rotti and even without additions. The Jak Tree is also called ' The Rice Tree ' as rice is the main part of Sri Lankan cuisine and Jak can be used as an alternative to rice. I just LOVE it! ❤

    My wife is Egyptian and my mum's lebanese. Both cultures foul dish is very different but both amazing. Lebanese one is lemony, garlicky and fresh. Egyptian one is like a delicious vegetarian salsa with heavy cumin flavour. Both are so comforting

    i’m native sardinian, which is part of italy, and since our food/culture/dialect is very different from the ones in the rest of italy, i decided to specify it. my comfort food HAS to be sebadas; they are typical fried sardinian sweets that have pecorino cheese inside and are served with honey on top. since my mom died when i was young and my dad was often out for work for days, even in the summer, i mainly stayed at my grandparents’. this is something that particularly reminds me of those summers when i was little where i was at my grandparents’ house by the seaside, and we would have sebadas after dinner basically every week. it just has a really warm and comforting aura to me.
