Confort food might be for me (apart from anything - anything- I may find in the fridge) is a 'mitraillette'. it translates into 'Submachine gun'. from outer to inner : Baguette (also called 'pain français') - bread in an oblong form. Sauce - Samurai works well, I perfer Tartare Fries (belgian fries) - good, fat ones, cooked in grease, not oil. Brochette (beef and onions) not on a BBQ but in the abovementioned grease. can be replaced by 'fricandelle' A mix of hot, cold, crisp, mellow, fat, meat... hmmmm... The full recipe - from official belgian TV - the guy on the left is a real crazy guy - I spent one evening once with him. Complete with accent ... www.rtbf.be/video/detail_mitraillette-frites-sauce-andalouse-1-2?id=2012320Fastest version : fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitraillette_(cuisine) - look at the pics...

Sounds fantastic, Casimira, but my own concept of comfort food is something that you eat at home, which is where most of us flee when we need comfort. But maybe I am wrong. Had I had my "home' while there at my mother's house, this is likely what she would have served, even if she had to pull it out of the freezer. Therefore, all the more gratifying to find a version that was equally as satisfying and comforting. I've had many versions of this chowder and most are lacking in sustenance/substance and flavor, and are watery due to a lack of a true flavorful broth/stock. I post this because this had all of the above perfect "comfort" qualities I associate with "home". The wharf where we dined at was equally at "home" as I would have liked (sitting on a bench overlooking the bay), versus a chic chic table-clothed overpriced bistro. All that was lacking was my mother's presence and this happened to be one of her favorite spots. Comfort not lacking. Ah, well that validates the experience then.

I have heard of the mitraillette, pariswat. But it has always seemed to me to be an extreme version of 'comfort food' -- comfort for the dying, especially if you are dying of alcohol poisoning.

Thanks Lagatta for posting the correct link.
Sick drink - Lucozade , although I never have it cannot stand the stuff.
I am certainly going to try a savoury bread pudding, I have only ever had sweet versions and yes they are comforting too , especially with custard , ....Questa
