20 Comfort Foods From Around The World | Around The World | Food Insider
my favorite comfort food is water. Every time I consume it, it makes me nostalgic of being alive.
😂😂😂
LOL

😆😆😆
Why not Lemons?
"Comfort food can fix any bad day. Its filled with sugar, fat, and salt..." Bro, I'm gonna look like a tub of lard after coming out of quarantine!
stfu
It's ok, we all are
I'm starting to look like Jabba the Hut😥
Rockstar Eater me too help 😂😂😋
Lolololol 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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 need to try it looks so good it's hard to find authentic pho in Maryland
I'm not Vietnamese either, but I love pho. It's warm and flavorful and comforting.
I’m Mexican American and pho is one of the absolute greatest foods on earth, hands down.
I am not Vietnamese, but I love Hanoi style chicken pho- it’s what I want to eat when I am feeling ill.
I’m not Vietnamese but korean, but my family love pho so much😭
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.

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!

Im Polish American and I also love my pierogies 💖 I could eat tons of them too.
Hi
Pierogi is da bomb! I eat with sour cream and bacon bits
My hometown has a large Polish community. I miss being able to buy pierogis. I liked to have them with shredded cheese and salsa.
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
That's why we call it "comfort food". The familiar taste just bring us back to all the memory we have in the past and make us feel safe and comfort again.
Underrated.
My favourite comfort food is also the beef patty. Originally they are made with only meat or veggies inside but you can add cheese and it's so freaking good. So when that girl said it I was like yesss
That's right.. Like when I eat something that I haven't had since I was a kid but those flavors were store in some drawer in my brain... is magical!
Priceless memory👍
Everyone: Food that takes time and care to make Americans and brits: grilled cheese and toast
Well comfort food doesn’t always have to take time to make.
there's npthing wrong with that
@@starrycactusx5978 uP
Mine is quesadillas and its also simple to make. It doesn't have to be complicated
Marcus Yap it's comfort food! I love grilled cheese sandwiches, they are the best. With tomato soup. Yum. 😍
I’m Mexican and my confront food is something named ‘chilaquiles verdes’, that dish consists in fried corn tortillas with cheese green sauce and chicken. It’s really good! 🥰☺️
yassssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

My comfort food is chicken pot pie or and this is the weird one toasted poptarts with no frosting but butter instead.
as a Brit that was such a disappointing choice. Crumpets, cream teas, sticky toffee pudding, spotted dick, bread and butter pudding, bacon sarnie, half a dozen types of rich stew....long long list and this guy picks marmite on toast?
kzhead.info/sun/qcWDh8-Qp5qDnqs/bejne.html
@@diceman199 I'm not British, but I would have at least picked something like Shepherd's Pie or fish and chips!
@@diceman199 not to mention about 1000 different types of fish and chips, or even cottage & Sheppard's pie. This list was probably made by a frog.
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! ❤
I’m Mongol and my favorite comfort food is the blood of my enemies.
Damn
Come to Pakistan, we have a lot of Changezi descent people.

I love how basically everywhere has lovely intricate, sometimes even healthy foods that their Mums made and then the us and uk are just like B R E A D
You don't realize how much you miss it until you travelling and you can't have it.
Colombia and Brazil also just made cheese bread
Dude most Americans would say chicken and dumplings or chili. Grilled cheese sandwiches are what kids eat.
I mean the US would vary largely by state, for example a Texan might say brisket, a Utahn(not this one though) would say funeral potatoes, a Louisianan might say gumbo, etc. even if it was bread that’s no big deal, because it’s comfort food.
He was wrong gumbo is by far the best American comfort food because it’s combined from a lot of cultures and can be made a ton of specific ways to be unique and delicious
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 am shocked that American southern dishes weren't represented. I am African-American & I absolutely LOVE fried chicken with mashed potatoes & gravy, & lemonade👍. My family is from the south and it brings back so many memories of delicious southern food. I will be doing a lot of cooking during this pandemic; and I will be cooking this A LOT.😊
The other day, I discovered that you can make collard greens in an Instant Pot. I made some, and I think that they turned out very well, especially considering that I made a vegan recipe because I didn't have any bacon in the house.
I'm from the southern US and the whole time I was thinking of soup beans and cornbread.
I agree. Also the grill cheese that they showed was not what I would call comfort, too fancy.
everyone: introduces diverse foods from their cultures, all of them look really tasty us and uk: haha bread go brrrr
American food is just americanized versions of other countries food, pizza is probably the biggest example. (Im american by the way, and honestly in the majority of towns here you can find a lot of restaraunts with food from other places which is so cool)
cal we got way better comfort food than grilled cheese
So true, anx there is no uniform American culture so the comfort food varies. Guess you could say a fondue melting pot
@@kennedyandrews8597 peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
Michael Koga corned beef sandwiches are so good depends where you get them

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.
“Dialect”
Being British the best comfort food is at Chinese takeaway their bbq sweet ribs are PERFECT they fall off the bone and you get to eat the sweet crunchy cartilage (and if you like it the bone marrow) it’s perfect to eat and the sauce in the tub left over in thick and sweet and perfect for the chips they sell that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Hope I described it well Edit: ALSO MARMITE AND CHEESE INBETWEEN 2 PIECES OF TOAST JUST JJEJJSJSJSJSJJSSJISISJENJD
And also take out orange chicken, in my opinion.
Dang this guy really said marmite on toast, they strugglin in England foreal
LMFAO! Omg I am dying of this comment.😂😂😂
Jesse Travens not at all, even wealthy people enjoy marmite on toast!😂😂😂😂
bruv shits good
In Australia, it's similar. We love our vegemite toast. 😊
hahaha ikr why wouldnt he say shepherds pie or a sunday roast i dont understand
I’m poor and my favorite comfort food is sleep
Taste better than work
lolololololol
Mine's a deep breath of air lol sleep is a luxury food for me 😂
sanjay jadhav those jokes are boring
sanjay jadhav nah nah fam you didn’t have to take it in that direction
My favorite sweet comfort food is my grandmother's blueberry pie. Whenever I visit her, we make one together. We make the the filling and the crust all from scratch. The real secret to make it even better is to put some small pieces of butter in on top of the filling right before you put on the top crust and bake it. There is a small Latin American restaurant near my house where I used to go very often for breakfast with my dad. I would usually get either platanos fritos con frijoles y crema (fried plantains severd with refried beans and sour cream) or caldo de res, which is beef stew with carrots, potatoes, chayote squash and other vegetables. It's hard to choose a savory comfort food which I have fairly regularly, but I think I would choose garlic bread, mac and cheese, or chicken noodle soup. My mom makes mac and cheese and chicken noodle soup sometimes, and garlic bread is my favorite food that we would have at church potlucks.
I’m Acadian and grew up in NB, on Canada’s East Coast. My comfort food is Fricot, which a chicken soup with dumplings. I know there are many different types of chicken soup and dumplings around the world, but there is something about Fricot that is heartwarming and also festive.
hello Melissa
I’m also acadian! My grandparents are from NB aswell, I live in america but we go to canada every summer. Fricot is very good! My personal favorite is poutine though (not the french fry version, but the ball of potatoes with meat inside lol)
@@Leilanix I grew up in the north of NB. While we were aware of the poutine balls, it was as popular as in the south east. But it’s good! I like the poutine with fries also!
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE PERU GUY ?? “We had a lot of chickens My grandma took one.. and they were fresh” 😂😂
that's how it was for me back home in the Caribbean, I think it's common outside of America
@@iLoveYou10xmore in brazil it is kinda common too
In Brazil is very common a grandma do this. My mom don't know, she was born in a big city, but we have a looooot of small towns. And we are an agro-country, a lot of farms etc.
im from chile and thats just how it is haha
Pretty common in other places. People sometimes get chicken fresh.
Anything made by my mum is my comfort food because she is my source of comfort.
Thats sweet :)
Awww that’s adorable
Same!!
That is so sweet
So.... U eat your mom?😅
I grew up with grilled cheese. Very basic. Buttered white bread with American cheese. A slice of tomato optional. Also with tomato soup and ginger ale. I remember shoveling our driveway every time it snowed 2 hours of hard labor and coming into grilled cheese all ready to go. Thanks Mom! Although I must say creamed chipped beef is slowly taking the number one spot for me. With home fries, it's hard to get any better in the winter.
Best combo! Tomato soup and grilled cheese ^^
What a great collection of comfort foods from all around the world. I enjoyed hearing how each person picked dishes THEY associate from their homelands. I do wanna express my condolences to the participants who lost loved ones;preparing comfort foods they made is bittersweet...they are no longer present but the great memories of watching them make their special dish and later teaching you how to prepare their special dish,that is something that'll always connect you to them and for you to later pass along their recipe to your own kids. ✌👍

How depressing was our marmite on toast😔. He literally could’ve said anythinggggg but decided on toast🤦🏻♀️ there’s Shepard’s pie
Sam the man said toast. Leave him alone 😂
Or a roast dinner or fish and chips or like a hundred other better things!!!!!!!!
Like Lamb Stew with Rosemary Bread! Sunday Roast! Hotpot and Dumplings! Cumberlands and Mash! Toad in the Hole! Savoury Crumble! (Especially the tomato ones!) Hot Apple Pie and Custard! Sticky Toffee Pudding!
If it was just toast i wouldn't mind.Sometimes toast just hits the spot idk
Pie isn’t actually from white ppl
Not even 1 slavic country, but youre gunna let the brit make toast.... aight
So sorry...
My country has been disgraced by his choice, sausage rolls, Yorkshire puddings, toad in the hole or even haggis are good options and what does he pick? Marmite scoffing bastard
YORKSHIRE PUDDING
No nordic country either, alot of middle east and south american foods.
Well they can’t include every country in the world
I'm Chinese-Australian, and I started thinking about what my ideal comfort food would be when I started watching this video. It turned out that I had a very similar experience with the Chinese lady in this video as well. My parents sometimes made congee with cabbage and chicken in the morning and it was the best meal I could ever have wanted. I also requested this when I was sick and also when I got braces on (because I could only eat soft foods). It really shows just how nice this mixture of rice and water really is.
My comfort food is Potato soup with dill bread. I always get really excited whenever I make it or if my mom or grandma makes it. It's not like a regular soup because it's usually very thick. I'd top my bowl with bacon, cheese, and green onions. The dill bread really scoops up a lot of the soup, and the soup soaks into the bread, giving it so much flavor. It always reminds me of home

Question: Is Vegemite and Marmite the same thing? It’s just when I saw it I thought they where so similar (Sorry if it’s a stupid question but I honestly don’t know)
Ryu Yumi As an Australian who was born in England, I can tell you that they are not the same! They are both delicious!
@Jayne Eyre That won't be the same opinion in every Brit's eyes
My comfort food is daal chawal .. its a lentil curry with simple boiled rice with a few spices .. it is usually served with a yougurt sauce( raita)and kachumbar salad . It makes me feel satisfied without any spices and it's just magical
I’m white American and my favorite comfort food is Dominican sancocho! It’s an amazing bone broth stew with tender meats and yuca (like potato) and other absorbent vegetables. Must eat over flavorful, absorbent rice!
mines japanese clear soup (i'm also an american)
"Comfort food can fix any bad day. It's filled with sugar, fat, and salt..." China: Congee, literally the healthiest thing ever
I heard bland congee and I almost gagged
white rice is not the healthiest thing you can eat
Since when conge is healthy? That thing made by rice = carbohydrates. I love them tho, always make it myself when the weather is cold, i love it savory
Me: so, you had congee, but ate a bat instead?

I love hearing people talk about their fond childhood memories.
My comfort food is definitely adobo. I could never recreate mother's, but it makes me feel home whenever she makes it. If it I do be specific, I really love my mum's sinigang. Sinigang is a sour, salty soup with okra, eggplant, cassava, pechay, taro, onions, and some meat. I specifically love prawn sinigang but it is also can be made with pork

Filipino here and my comfort food would be champorado… always takes me back to childhood days when there’s no school because of storms and my mom will make it. It is perfect for breakfast and afternoon snack. For my sons though, it is sopas that I will always absolutely remind them of.
My favourite comfort dish is Placki Ziemniaczane, a.k.a. potato pancakes, latke, dranyky, hash browns etc. It is a fried potato mixture with flour, onion, egg and salt. It's sometime served with common mushroom sauce (I remember, that I ate it in our school's canteen, in which, female cooks served in a portion of three pancakes topped with this sauce).

@@rachael4512 right?! There were so many comfort food options... Sunday dinner? Mince and dumplings? Toad in the hole? Nah, toast with spread on. Madness.
True, and if you're going to do toast, at least make it beans on toast, or a cheese and tomato toastie (I have good memories of toasties and tea after plunging into the North Sea (Yorkshire beaches on holiday, got to love them)).
Exactly!!!! It felt like he chose what Americans expect us to choose rather than what actual british people eat. Beans on toast man, it was right there
I'm Dutch, and one of my favourite comfort foods is instant ramen, especially when I stir-fry it with some vegetables of my own choice (usually frozen peas and carrots and occasionally chopped scallions) and optionally some fake meat and add the seasoning to everything in the skillet while it fries up. I ate a lot of instant ramen when I didn't live on my own yet (especially when I was a teenager and had psychomotor therapy every Saturday, which was always very intense to the point of massive cravings by the time lunchtime was nearby), and it's one of my safe-foods, since I know what flavours and textures I can usually expect from it, and by adding other safe-foods to it in my own cooking nowadays, I'm always happy to expand the dish that way because I occasionally and solely eat it for dinner nowadays, which was what I had wished for so much and often when I didn't live on my own yet, and I'm so happy that I'm able to add my own twists to already-existent dishes this way.
i love the fact that mostly this is how food reminds people of family
My favorite comfort food is Molé. When my mom, brother and I were able to finally afford a house and move out the shelter. Molé was the first meal we had at our new house.
Wow thats a lovely story!!!
okay...how are you now?
I love mole, do you prefer the regular one or the green one?
What is mole? I saw it at the store and it looks like a topping or a sauce??
@@camcam855 yes it's a sauce we usually drizzle it on top of boiled chicken and eat it with a side of rice. You have to add water to the mole and blend it first though, I like to use the broth from the boiled chicken instead of water.

I have lived all over the United States. I would have to say my favorite comfort food would be Roja Carnitas Tamales. Those are Red Pork Tamales. My good friend Fred would bring these delicious Tamales from Texas to share with all of his friends. They were slightly spicy and delicious.
I am from 🇮🇳 India and my fav comfort food is harees its a one pot nonveg dish from hyderabad made with either chicken or lamb usually its cooked for over 4 hours along with lentils and broken wheat with lots of spices and the end result is stringy, pasty and absolutely yummy one pot dish which is highly nutritious. Its quite popular in Hyderabad India specially during holy month of Ramadan. But we make it short cut way and love to eat it in evenings
I like it too♥️
As an Indian I Love Harees too! 🤤
Haven't seen a comfort food from France so here's mine : leek and potato soup. Warm and so delicious, especially with cream and cheese and croutons. It's like a warm blanket in winter. Or gratin dauphinois, which is a potato dish grilled and so creamy. Or soupe au pistou, which is a soup with kidney beans and a mix of vegetables and pasta served with a fresh basil and garlic and olive oil sauce that is just the best thing ever.
mines are galette saucisse -a classic- and onion soup!

it's nice to see how most of these comfort foods are comforting to these people not solely based on its tastes but also what its have been associated with like families and homes ☺️
You've got the best point In this comment section ❣️❣️🥺

My go-to comfort food is grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup, but I’m really interested in trying all the others mentioned in this video!
I am from India my fav comfort food is biriyani with raitha.Every Indian loves it
Facts
So true!!!
Yeessss along with boiled egg
@@zahrakhan9531 what do u add in ur biriyani? Gold? Tf
@@lindajohnson2419 no, I like to add natural ingredients such as garlic and onion, tomato, meat and mince leaves and ofc gold too 😋
For the uk I was expecting a Sunday roast, full english breakfast or fish and chips but noooo we get marmite- a good that’s not even associated with the uk
JENN ikr
Marmite certainly IS associated with the UK. It was invented in England around 1905 and essentially hasn't changed since.
those are almost equally boring lol
@Shiva, Chandar Chandar do you like chocolate? Brits invented that.
@@beepboopbobop Actually no we didn't chocolate was originally used by the Mexicans during the aztec times and was later taken and used by what I believe was the Spanish. We didn't invent chocolate although brands such as Cadburys were founded in the UK. So please do your research before you make us look like idiots this is literally something we get taught in year 4!!
My comfort food in tomato soup with fish and rice. I am Bengali and whenever I have it is literally perfection. The sweetness of the tomatoes, the saltiness of the fish, everything just comes into play.
World : **Cooks intricate dish from scratch ** UK : Marmite on toast
You make a Grilled Cheese sound like the best thing to happen to the universe
That’s such a British thing though
It’s so unbelievably British I love it
the uk one almost made me cry. incredibly disappointing :(
I'm Australian and I'd say vegemite on toast is my comfort food too :)
Imi Lowe whyy simple can be good
Same here, I am British and I am let down by Brits everyday.
I would’ve said takeaway 😂
As an Asian American, I heard that apple crumble is a popular British treat. Is that true?
I’m from Australia My comfort food that I always crave is these options My Nanny’s special rice dish (she would make it for me whenever I was sick) My mums porcupine balls (meatballs made with rice and tomato soup) My great grandmothers homemade pasties that has been handed down for years My pa’s homemade soup either pea and ham or cauliflower soup that he makes whenever it’s cold and it’s soo good

Hello Alicia how are you doing today 👋
hello Alicia
My favorite comfort food, as a Mexican American, is gorditas and grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. It’s cool to see a lot of cultures have their own version of gorditas! How neat. Rajas con queso are my favorite gorditas. :)
Eat well.
the fact the UK guy eats marmite on toast when he is sick makes me sad.
He eats it when he’s sick, I’ll eat it and it will make me sick.
Well he likes it so...
@@salahhussain424 and he's representing the nation with his choice of food, and he didn't pick sausage rolls or a pasty or something, he picked MARMITE ON TOAST
Liberty Prime in my opinion marmite on toast is a very british food and represents us well so imma have to disagree on that one
My mom used to make it when I was sick, she made it with soup
obviously for most of the people comfort food is mom's food..even michelin star foods wouldn't beat it.. okay you guys satisfied? i edit my comment 😁
sajith vimukthi like he'll, my mom sucked at cooking.....well really parenting in general 😐
Moriah Molotov Schroeder- Hughes oof
no, it's actually what you grow up eating. I grew up eating in restaurants because my mom didn't cook often, so my moms food isn't really my comfort food.
Ok simp
not everyone's mom cooks well, my mom sucks at cooking so my comfort food is the food i make for myself so
I'm from Philippines and my comfort food us champorado it's a rice porridge but with cocoa powder sometimes we put coconut milk or powdered milk in the top with some dried fish. Also goes well with coffee ❤️
When they said Pasteles de yuca I started to cry because I miss my mom. These times making it especially hard to not break down with fear and mourning and stress. I really appreciate this video.
Take heart, it might take some time, but even these dark days will end. Just take one day at a time, there's nothing more to do.
My dad just passed 2 months ago. He was my best friend texted me in the morning everyday. I’m heart broken. You’re not alone in going through this my friend.
Hoping you feel better. Sending strength and love ❤️
My favorite comfort food is Hot Chocolate. I drink it all the time when the weather was rainy and whenever i go through seasonal allergies and in the winter my mother would make it homemade. So it just makes me remember all the things that got me this far in life and make me tell myself that I'm strong.
Cat Coffee and then there’s me. I literally inhale hot chocolate.
I’m Hispanic and my favorite comfort food would probably be my grandma’s rice. It’s honestly so good and I really need to ask her to teach me how to make it 😍😊
i read it as Hot Cheetos and was super confused for a brief moment
I am Indian, my favourite comfort food is Sabud daana khichdi, which can be roughly translated to tapioca porridge. It's really simple and comforting!
A Good Sunday Dinner Does It For Me. Expecially The Yorkshire Pie!!
Every other culture: something rich, satisfying and delicious. The UK: "mArMiTe tOaSt"
Yes
Grilled cheese? 💀
HAHAHAHAHHAHAH
We've got so much better food than feckin Marmite. Cornish pasty? Cullen skink? Sausage roll with piccalilli? Full English breakfast? What sort of culinary rock has that guy been under?
USA: hold my grilled cheese
Who else was waiting for a person by its own country and that never happened ✋
The hell you from... Antarctica?
I was waiting for South Africa and our Chesa N'yama to be in there, or even any dish with pap (mielie meal), that stuff fills your belly and sends you off into a food coma until the next day, it's glorious
Cuba too. I wanted to hear someone's opinion. And btw, they barely scratched the surface. 20 countries is not the whole world.
Kansas City Jones theres 200 countries they did 20
@@calamarikurusu3214 I dont live in a country. ....I am stuck on an island....
The color, smell and taste are all exquisite, touching every sense of enjoyment.
Being fortunate enough to be born into 2 different cultures, I recognize conchas as my favorite 🇲🇽 comfort food, and gumbo as my favorite 🇺🇸 comfort food.
Malaysian: Rice, sweet soy sauce and fried eggs = heaven Or we just consume our Maggi with poached eggs
and the sweet soy sauce must be habhal or jalen lolollll
Maggi is heaven
Maggi makes any day better. Got a rainy day, midnight snack, too lazy to cook? You gottem Plus you can mix and match maggi a lot. I have ate it with rice, poached eggs, (occasionally)seafood, other types of noodles, fry it (the basah kind of frying which is nice).
@@bonobono7258 I go for Adabi. More into classic stuff :3
Yes. Can add anything to it..sambal belacan....fried anchovies..Sambal Hitam Pahang.. ..yummm
to most ppl, comfort food means home and childhood
Mine is fried potato sandwiches - it's not even a proper recipe of any place, but it's that exact reason. It's what my dad would always make us for a simple lunch or breakfast as kids.
That reminds me of the hash brown sandwiches I used to make when I was younger. Fried potatoes and bread go together way better than my arteries want them to.
And their mother
Being able to live in different countries, I am not quite sure anymore what is my comfort food. I think it is more about which one I miss the most then I will go to the kitchen and cook it myself. On rainy days, my comfort food comes from my hometown, that would be lugaw and bulalo. During summers, my comfort food would be chicken rice(SG style) and for winters I have to go for afghani/peshawari food. 🤤🤤🤤 When I was younger and still lives with my mom, everything that she cooked was my comfort food. 😊
My favorite comfort food is chilaquiles or chiles rellenos
Yummy
Yes
yess chilaquiles are so good
Beautiful comment, chiles rellenos are soooo good!
My mom's pozole 😋😋😋
indonesian be like: my comfort food is indomie, because, uh, its indomie...
I love it too, but it isn't in many stores near me so I have to go certain places. It is the only type of instant noodle I like because it is so good and the others taste bad
Rendang? Nasi kuning? Mie Goreng? Es Teler? Tempe kecap? Idk bro since I'm living in Indonesia half the dishes are comfort food. Semua enak bro. Selain ikan ya haha
I think the perfect comfort food would be Nasi Telor (with kecap). The dish that was in everyone's childhood. Simple, comforting and hella delicious.
@@winawina4389 bener
I love indomie but I love martabak manis more..
I'm from Brazil, and alongside with pão de queijo one of my favorite comfort foods is bolinho de chuva, i always feel comfy eating it during rainy or cloudy days

Really enjoyed this post. Thanks for sharing!
India here! I guess every state in India will have its own comfort food. I am from Maharashtra and i can vouch that every Maharashtrian's comfort is Varan-bhat or Dal with rice. basically yellow lentils soup with rice and top it off with ghee
I am from Delhi and my comfort food is : Chole bhature Kachodi Samose Dosa,vada,idli Vada pav Aloo tikki burger that tastes good And others 😀 we have so many things to eat that comforts us
I am from Tamil Nadu and our comfort food would be biriyani, paratha, etc. don't forget the maggi xD every indian, no matter which state loves it
Arhar yellow dal (with jeera chhaunkk) + rice + ghee + little chat masala = Heaven
im from Maharashtra and tbh, pav bhaji is my ultimate comfort food. its soooo gooooooooooooood. but if ive been expelling unneccessary food content through my mouth, varan bhat all the wayyyyyyy along with some dahi sakhar (mixture of yogurt and sugar)
I'm from Kerala and dosa never beats anything else 😩✨ But I live in mumbai and yes pav bhaji is on the same level as dosa 😳
Toast slaps but come on, pie, sausage and mash, beef stew, a roast, Yorkshire puddings, apple crumble, sticky toffee pudding, syrup sponge, cornish pasties, pork pies.
Spotted Dick from Asda is awesome and M&S Bread Butter pudding is to die for.
Ah yes, those times when you need a little bit of comfort food after a long day of work so start preheating the oven and buy a whole roast. Beans on toast ftw
Its comfort food tho aint no one got time for food that needs an oven
@@_______unknown_______ Pasties, pies, and sausage rolls can be quickly thrown in a microwave if desired. Quicker than bloody marmite on toast.
@@_______unknown_______ its not about how long it takes to make lol did you even see the chick who spoke about the banana leaf thing taking 3 days to make bruh
Mine is closest to the person from Italy. I buy ground beef-pork-veal, add salt, pepper, parsley, onion, egg and bread crumbs. Mix and form them into patties. Then I'll get so many meals out if that. Either as a hamburger, or crumble 2 patties into a saute pan and add to tomato sauce to eat with pasta. Freeze some for next week, etc. So versatile and delicious.
My fave comfort food has to be pelmeni soup. I'm not even russian, from New Zealand, but my russian friend introduced me to it when we made food together and it feels so warm and comforting, plus feels healthy. How we made it, dumpling wrapper, pork mince, cabbage, carrot, celery, garlic, onion, salt n pepper. Soup is chicken stock, celery leaves, chopped celery, carrot, onion, salt pepper, bay leaf. Mm
Me as an Indian: CURRY AND RICE IS COMFORT FOOD
I'm preety sure you're an indian american
Abaan nop I a actually fully Indian, I’m just from Maharashtra where they have ‘varan bhat’ which is legit curry and rice
If we're talking Indian food I'm going with Paneer Tikka Masala, Daal Makhani, Cheese Naan and of course Gulab Jamun. Oh and pretty much any bakery product from Tamil Nadu.
Mi Me omg I want gulab jamun now
My comfort food is definitely masoor daal nd rice boyyyyyyyy it's yummy
