mame11 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 (edited) So tonight I picked up from Thai Square. I perused the menu and decided to definitely get something I can't cook at home. So, Crispy Duck with honey and basil was in order. Am I crazy. It was good but I can feel my arteries going into toxic shock. Fried duck... can you imagine anything more unhealthy!!!! At least I put the duck on the salad instead of the rice. Weird yummy habit... And you? Edited November 22, 2005 by NCPinDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'm of the opinion that something so scrumptious, that you crave and can't cook at home, deserves a place on the "eat it only on your birthday" list. Actually, I follow the dictum of "Don't eat it if it isn't worth the calories." If it is, then you deserve it, but try to exclude all the other stuff that isn't good for you. Add the veggies, salad, etc., you should eat and skip dessert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunJason Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I wonder how much of this thread is true "comfort dishes" or just "hmm... you know what would be really good right now?" I guess I could answer Yes and Yes to mine.

DonRocks Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 When I want to scarf an entire pizza, my standby is the Large Original ($11.95) at Dominic's in Meadowood Shopping Center, Colesville (301) 622-2023. Rectangular, twelve pieces, and everything thrown on top, it's a perfect inhalant for two normal adults or one ravenous jackal. I'm not even sure why I'm so fond of this thing, but I am.

Nadya Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Y'all can just go ahead and call me trailer-trash....whipped mashed sweet potatoes with bits of crunchy marshmallow. From Boston Market. Hell yeah. Oh, and really good caviar on skinny toast triangles. With just a touch of butter. Without all that fuckwittage of grated boiled egg, onion, capers, peanut butter, bacon bits and diet coke that can stay in the trash can where they belong. Мама, я хочу домой!!!

johnb Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Fried bologna sandwich with cole slaw. I can tell you from frying much of it that it's getting hard to find bologna that's been made without mucho sugar/corn syrup whatever. Another indicator of the dumbing down of American foods. And that's no boloney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiral Stairs Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 My wife and I whip up a batch of "Tuna Shit" to provide comfort and cause guilt.

Demvtr Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm a Courthouse kid, so I will sometimes saunter up to Ireland's Four Courts and order the "Salmon Killybeggs," which is a baked salmon filet in a buttery, flaky pastry dough, served in a rich red pepper coulis. I try and mitigate the damage by ordering steamed vegetables as my side, but then I order a side of the parsley cream sauce to dip the vegetables in, and I start feeling all Woody Allen-esque and guilty, and have to order their peach and blueberry bread pudding to make myself feel better.

Drive-by Critic Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Definitely the pho at the much-missed Tanh Tanh in Wheaton (oh, why did you leave us?). We called it "magic soup." Cured WHATEVER ailed you...I mean, I grew up with the original, home made Jewish chicken soup, but the pho at Tanh Tanh - no drugs could come close to the bliss and well-being of the Tanh Tanh pho. I will offer a million bowl reward to anyone who can tell me where the Tanh Tanh chef has gone. OK, now I am really sorry to torture all of you, but for my father's 80th birthday, I picked up the phone and ordered from Russ and Daughters: A pound of the most sublime salmon (nova, of course) A half pound of melt-in-your mouth sable 3 nice-sized pieces of smoked, peppered mackerel flavored with orange and lemon A pint of kippered herring in cream sauce REAL, fresh cream cheese (not the white gummy stuff they sell in stores) Make-you-cry-they are so good ruggelach Now this is comfort food...takes you back to the days when smoked fish was cheap, not a delicacy, and you had this every Sunday.... (OK, well, if you were a New Yorker...for all the great food in DC, there is one ethnic gastronomy that is sorely lacking) Can't believe no one has mentioned Kraft mac-and-cheese, which of course you eat right out of the pot...

Gastro888 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Comfort food depends on my mood. If I'm down, I want to eat fries/frites - preferably Palena's or something else of similar quality. I'll settle for Chik-Fila when I can't get anything else. Why-I-piss-my-doctor-off comfort food: Steamed rice w/ chicken drippings (aka FAT) from a steamed or roasted chicken. A 1:1 ratio is what I strive for most of the time. My parents' congee is the ultimate comfort food. Homemade with dried scallops and dried tangerine peel. I top it with tofu cheese (fu yee) and white pepper. Love in a bowl. Edited to add: Oh yeah, how could I forget this: Bacon fried in a pan to a light crisp served with Wonder Bread that was used to sop up the drippings. Ah, drippings.

Waitman Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Is this the place to talk about Velveeta/Chili's Taco Sauce nachos, preferably eaten in front of a Redskins Game, Sopranos re-run or classic movie video? Also, a bacon-cheese omelette pommes persilladier (Frenchified hash browns, with garlic and parsley) and maybe an expensive hand-buffed lettuce on the side for and to assuage the guilt.

Always eaten off of the spoon. I make a smaller spoonful (sans honey) to share with my dog as I eat mine. Nice to find a fellow traveller. I'm particular to using a knife to a) avoid peanutbutter knuckles and b ) maintain the pretense that I'm still going to go back to the kitchen for something to apply the peanut butter to. Peanut butter and Ritz crackers has served as dinner more often than I'd ever care to admit in polite company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in graduate tax school there were several weeks when my sustanence consisted of something very similiar: a big pot of elbow macaroni with the canned tuna, the heaps of mayo, and the parm.
