I have to say that comfort food for me takes different twists. As a boy, my family lived in Bangkok, Thailand for a couple of years. So Thai and southeast asian food is one of my comfort foods.
I was really excited when I saw this post on The Runaway Spoon blog. Here is a great and simple do-at-home pho recipe. Pho is one of the national dishes of Vietnam. It is, at it's basic level, a noodle soup. But ahhh, the rich beef broth served steaming hot from the pot, the heavy dose of rice noodles, then all the add-ins. Cilantro, Basil, Onions, Lime, Hoisin sauce, Hot sauce, peppers. And of course the beef. At a Pho restaurant the choices are long. I prefer sliced sirloin, or brisket... AWESOME!
Here is the link to the Runaway Spoon blog and the recipe! Ahhh, it takes me back.....

What are some of your comfort food memories? Please share...

my mother would take a few pieces of chicken, some water, a touch of onion and garlic, and a decent amount of black pepper and simmer ittogether for hours. at the last minute, she'd add egg noodles and we'd pour the chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes.
chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes...the ultimate winter comfort food!
