Comfort food is that stuff you munch on when you're feeling bad for whatever reason.

For some people it's what you raid in the fridge when you're feeling depressed and want to curl up on the sofa and watch junk, for others it's a meal your mother used to cook that you can eat and escape into your memories for a time, sometimes it overlaps with the chicken soup/lemon and honey/whatever your preferred sickness food is.

Also, I meant to add that it can help because

1) It's chocolate and so actually does make you feel better
2) It's indulgent and so makes you feel like you've spent some time on yourself
3) It evokes memories that are comforting
4) It is good for an unsettled stomach/contains spices that clear sinuses/etc.
5) Other

4. I do know this - when i'm sick, i don't eat. I can barely force myself to drink. I always know i'm feeling *better* when i start craving ice water. A lifetime of a touchy stomach sort of precludes food when it's unhappy.

I can see that, it sounds tough.

There are foods that are good for heavy colds as well etc. that some people class as "comfort food". Foods strong in lemon and honey, or ginger, often fall into this catagory

Huh. I guess...i don't really eat when i'm bummed. Being bummed is bad enough, now i have to *cook*? No way.

I'm not much of a cook when I'm down myself, which is why my comfort food is the veggie hotdogs/pasta thing mentioned elsewhere in this thread (It requires one pan of water and a timer, you simply add things at the right time, serve and eat). I know there are some people who will cook because they want the pay-off, and some who won't because they dislike the process too much.

For a lot of people comfort food is simply raiding the fridge/cupboard.

Even that amount of prep/cook is too much sometimes. Yeah, i *really* hate cooking. Spoonful of peanut butter/glass of juice, ftw!
