    Japanese food tends to be associated with sushi, sashimi and ramen. One tends to forget all the other treasures that extraordinary cuisine has produced.

    People don't know how varied Japanese cuisine is. Best food I've ever eaten in my life by far was in Japan, and I don't even like sushi all that much :p

    This makes me laugh A few months ago I asked my teenage children if they wanted a guggy they hadn't a clue what I was talking about.
    I was killing myself laughing but as usual they were not amused

    Tinned wild red Alaskan salmon with spring onions mixed together with lashings of mayo and spread on buttered pumpkinseed rolls.

    Crisps, too many damn crisps.

    I'd fully agree. Japan is a country that is truly obsessed about food. The quality of the food in even a local neighbourhood restaurant is fantastic. For such a modern and industrialised economy they really seem to have rejected the idea of having the equivalent of Pallas Foods deliver pre-cooked meals to the doors of their restaurants.

    As an addendum; the best 'classic' French food I've ever had by some margin was in a restaurant in Kyoto. It was the perfect meal for about the same price as you'd pay in a very mediocre place in Paris.

    Start what? Pointing out the deleteriousness of using food as a comfort blanket against the travails of the world?! Or revealing the peril of using starches and proteins to shield one's vanity from the unforgiving truth? :mad:

    When I say comfort food, I'm not using it in the context of being hungover and craving it. Instead, my comfort food is something that I can eat a lot of and love every bite but really shouldn't eat it so may feel some guilt afterwards. A good quality cheeseburger on a doughy bun from the cuts of meat used to the way they are cooked; from the cheese I'm in the mood for (usually a gooey Brie) to the mushrooms/jalapeños and accompanying sauce; I am in heaven.

    We always call it Uggy egg! Used to give it to the kids when they were babies(well small people anyway :D)for brekkie. They wouldn't touch it now as its a "kiddies breakfast" :rolleyes:

    For me there is only one real comfort treat.
    Chips smother in gravy with white Brennans pan and a dollop of coleslaw on the side with rakes of salt.
    All the healthy essentials covered there i reckon :o

    Right now, any kind of fruit and nut granola.

    When I'm not a crazy pregnant lady who has gone off every food ever, I love potato waffles with melted cheese (which sucks because I live in a place where you can't get potato waffles) or a roast dinner cooked by my mam (which also sucks because she lives about five thousand miles away so I haven't had the pleasure of eating anything cooked by her in almost a year.)

    I really like chicken balls from the Chinese with curry sauce. Or sweet n sour sauce. A big bag of chipper chips, mmm. A slice of warm apple tart with custard is a good comfort food too because it reminds me of being a kid - my granny always made apple tarts and served it with custard.

    I know it's not a food but Lucozade instantly makes me feel better, whether I'm sick or have just had a shit day. I have been paying $70 to have six litres of it shipped from the UK, that's how much I need it in my life.

    Toast with a nice, runny egg.

    Okay, I'm going to stop now. I just really miss eating yummy food!
