Good food directly lifts our mood and gives us a sense of comfort.
A user asked the forum, “What meal says ‘home’ to you?” Here are the top responses.
GREEN ENCHILADAS
“Green enchiladas because it was the first meal I cooked together with my dad. It’s also my all-time favorite food. I can eat it every day.”
CHILLI
“Chilli. My dad makes it good, and it makes me incredibly happy.”
BEANS AND RICE
“Beans and rice with homemade tortillas.”
BEEF POT ROAST
“Beef pot roast with all the trimmings.”
STUFFED SHELLS
“My mom’s stuffed shells because I’ve never made them myself. Not because I can’t; it’s just never occurred to me in all the years I’ve been away from home. They aren’t hard, but they take some time, so sometimes I request them when I come home from college.”
CHICKEN CURRY
“Chicken curry with rice.”
BANANA CAKE
“Banana cake. My dad used to make it for me before he died; anyways, it’s a great meal.”
MOM’S CHICKEN SOUP
“My mom’s chicken soup. So, so good. I haven’t lived with her in decades, but when I go home, and she serves that up, it’s the happiest part of returning.”
CHEF BOYARDEE PIZZA KIT’S PIZZA
“Chef Boyardee Pizza Kit’s pizza, with extra pepperoni and mozzarella added because the included toppings are sad, plus lemon pepper, my mom’s favorite spice.
It was my favorite meal when I was a kid. I haven’t seen these kits in a long time, but I may have had my eyes peeled for them. Would be the most incredible nostalgia bomb.”
PORK CHOPS
“Pork Chops with kraft mac and cheese.”
CORNISH PASTIES
“Cornish pasties, I remember coming home from a long day at school and my dad having these ready to eat for a snack.”
CUBED STEAK AND GRAVY
“Cubed steak and gravy in the crockpot on a slow simmer all day. Mound that is over the top of a soft, pillowy bed of mashed potatoes.
After you’ve eaten all that heavenly goodness, you take your biscuit and sop up every remaining gravy.”
STEAK WITH WINE SAUCE
“My wife makes a good roast. But I still love cooking a steak with wine sauce, bread, asparagus, and mashed potatoes.”
EGG NOODLES
“Egg noodles with butter and black pepper.”
RICE AND CHOPPED MEAT
“Rice and chopped meat. I used to eat it every day after soccer practice, and it never got old.”
CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
“‘Chicken and dumplings’ wasn’t even technically at my ‘home’ technically. I grew up in an abusive home, but I vividly remember a couple of nights when I stayed at my mom’s friend’s house.
She had a daughter about my age that I hung out with, and on the first night staying there, she served chicken and dumplings, and the memories of comfort, fun, and feeling a little loved to come back every time I eat them again.”
