Gummy bearrrsss!! Haribo brand. The quality varies from bag to bag, so I like the fresh softer ones. I eat this every night.

Publix Birthday Cake ice cream.

Ben n Jerry's Cheesecake ice cream.

Arroz con picadillo - Cuban meal of ground beef stewed in a tomato sauce. It's kind of like a dry ground beef spaghetti sauce. Mix and eat with rice. Fun fact! When I was a child, I had to eat this meal every week on Tuesdays. Btw, I'm autistic.

Grilled Cheese, PB&J, and KD

[–] SpaceTurtle224@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I also enjoy some grilled cheese from time to time.

[–] wellee@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Honestly.. Taco Bell lol. (when done correctly) Preparing food is much too much most days for me.

Crinkle cut French fries, air fried Cover it in smoked shredded chicken Cover that in cheese sauce Throw on a nice, light shredded cheese blend Cover it in bacon Slather BBQ sauce all over it Die of a heart attack at 25.

[–] SpaceTurtle224@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

huh, you must really like cheese. 🧀 I also like it

Kettle corn! I learned how to make it myself in my stovetop popcorn spinner pot. Super easy, helps mitigate migraines (salt and sugar help raise my chronic low blood pressure), and has a very unique texture that I love.

[–] KarthNemesis@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

Beef maruchan ramen. Basically almost entirely what I survived on until I was 25.
I used to do chicken + mushroom flavour when I was very small but they discontinued it.

[–] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 5 points 9 months ago

Carelian pies.

[–] frogfruit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Right now they are coconut butter, peanut butter, carob chips, protein bars, and beef sticks.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Pasta and/or curry.

[–] cogitoprinciple@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Crackers and hommus. Not exactly sufficient when I'm very hungry

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Add carrots, celery, cucumber, etc.

[–] n3m37h@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Anything, all food is comfort food, even Indian curries

[–] Elkenders 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why wouldn't a curry be comfort food?

[–] n3m37h@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That shit can burn its way through titanium

[–] Lhianna@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago

Spinach feta quiche or Käsespätzle (a special kind of pasta, fried with onions and cheese). Some days I need a chicken nugget burger from Burger King. There's just something about that soft burger bun with just slightly crispy chicken nuggets that I crave sometimes.

Comfort food is a lot more about texture than taste to me.

[–] justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Hutspot. It is also super easy to make and not exactly expensive, which is a big plus both for the days I have no energy left for cooking something else, and/or the budget is a bit tight.

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 3 points 9 months ago

Salty snacks, fried or baked 😁. Failing that, those tiny 7" pizzas that fit into my Ninja, ready in literally 8 mins

Used to like preparing food, but seems like such a hassle now

[–] ordellrb@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Raw Carrots with Mayonnaise/Curry-Dip. Easy to make and tastes identical every Time. Also Potatochips

[–] n3m37h@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Try putting a tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar into your oatmeal

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if you're doing this to get people to do something silly and laugh later... does it work?

[–] n3m37h@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Makes it taste like apples, sounds weird but is delicious, does have to be cooked

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Alright... I'll let you know how I get on.

[–] What083329420@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Same. Oatmeal with fruit, same reason. Plus I use frozen fruit, so it's easy to stock up on.

Tnx for sharing. This made me happy :)
