For me, comfort food has to be easy to prepare, so it's usually a large kebab! If i was cooking, it'd probably be cheese on toast, with bread from a sourdough loaf, cut lengthways for hugeness, and some really rich, smelly cheese on top - one slice with a Cheddar so mature it's got a mortgage, one with a Comte or something, a pungent Alpine cheese, plus further as desired. Save a slice to whack an inch-thick slice of pate on.
If i could prevail on someone else to cook, or at least to share it with me and so make cooking properly worthwhile, then mash, with plenty of butter, and some really good sausages - nothing fancy, just good and meaty, like the ones the butcher sold when i was a kid. Or saltimbocca. Or sausages wrapped in bacon - best of both worlds! I'd have to have bread sauce with that, though. I wouldn't say no to a Yorkshire pudding at this point, either.
My all-time favourite food, bread and butter pudding, for afters - a huge one, with loads of raisins and drifts of brown sugar on top. Tub of good vanilla ice-cream by the side.
Or maybe a really rich chocolate mousse. Or figgie hobbin.
So, basically, anything that's fairly easy and 90% fat.
In other bread and butter pudding news, down the bottom of this:
they've got a savoury one; "It's sort of a cross between pizza and an omelette", they say. Twisted genius!
