Apparently, the way we process flavors in our brain is really different for many people. Some people don’t feel tastes as much as others and I guess it’s easier to enjoy more foods when you don’t feel the tastes really strongly.

      I think there is a difference between comfort food you like someone else to cook for you and comfort food you like to cook for yourself. A traditional Newfoundland Jiggs dinner makes me think of my home, family, and the comfort of childhood but when I want to cook myself comfort food it’s instant noodles or fried bread with an egg in the middle.

    Mamaliga! What can I say? 🥰 I fell in love with this dish as an exchange student in Romania. I remember my first night with my “new family”. They were so nice but it was awkward. I was thinking, “What have I done? I’m here a whole year!” I felt overwhelmed and suddenly scared.
    At dinner we all sat down together to eat. My host mom sat a BIG bowl of mamaliga on the table. The youngest little brother said, “Mamaliga!” With a big smile. I knew I’d have to show I liked it no matter what so I wouldn’t offend them. With my first bite, I fell in love. It was magical. It lightened the mood, and the awkwardness for all of us faded.
    At the end of dinner, it was time for bed. Mama in broken English, came to me and said, “My son. Love you. Happy for you here”. Mamaliga made me a Romanian son. To this day it floods me with the feeling of safety, comfort and family. ❤️

If you see this comment and curious about opor, it's basically a very rich broth chicken soup with lots of spices and coconut milk, I usually eat it when eid Mubarak or eid adha, and it's from Indonesia.

      But then again, because they love you so much, that's why they want to feed you well and take extra care when cooking and the food turns out extra good. So you're probably right :)

    The thing about indonesian cuisine is that most of it is quite complicated to make because it was made to fill up the serving of one family and most of the time for the dinner then next day for breakfast so you don't have to cook everytime you hungry thus why we made it delicious enough so that we're not bored of the taste after one meal. If it's just a random craving we just buy it in delivery or in a small stall just around the corner.
    Oh yeah, if you gonna make make another soto again, do add thinly sliced and fried potato (no need salt, just plain fried potato chips) and eat it together with soto. And if you want it to be even more exotic, get a coconut flakes in store and roast them a little on top of frying pan with no oil, fry thinly sliced 1-2 clove of garlic, then put them all in food processor. Add to your soto ayam together with the potato chips.

      The thing with Indonesian cuisine is... YOU EAT IT WITH RICE.
      That's why it tastes so rich.
      And basically this also for the other Southeast Asian foods. Especially from the Malay ethnicity. Malaysia, Singapore, Southern Thailand, Philippines(but Philippines is kinda.. More westernish and tribe-ish. They also eat the food without rice too and with some raw n extreme ingredients such as balut and the sago worm).
      They always cook food for the whole family and to eat with rice. Except for some dessert. Dessert is dessert.. u eat it without rice of course XD.
      That's why the taste is so rich. saltier, spicier, sweeter, sour-er, etc. It's supposed to eat with rice.
      And btw, that girl gave u all wrong information about "Soto ayam". Soto is not soup. Soup is soup. Soto is Soto. But yeah it is on the same category as soup in English.
      But we also have chicken soup recipe. Soto n soup are different.
      Soto is soto. Soto is more like curry than soup. If curry can keep its name instead of "veggie spicy soup", then Soto ayam also need to stay as Soto ayam. Not "chicken soup". Or maybe "chicken Soto" is fine. Ayam = chicken.
      Chicken soup and chicken Soto are different.

I take pleasure in cooking, so it doesn’t matter if the dish is difficult or time-consuming. “Comfort food” is, indeed, different for ever person.

      As a Dutch person this is such a pleasant surprise to hear! Stamppot is any mixture of potato, vegetable, meat and gravy when mashed together here. It's often eaten with sausage but I also love it with bacon cubes or sliced pork belly. Your favourite is probably the most iconic stamppot along with peen-en-uien (carrot and onion) stamppot.
      Oh, you'll probably love to know that some people like to add a little bit of mustard or piccalilli to their mash to add a hint of acidity. Often once you've almost finished you plate you will be asked if you want apple sauce. If you say yes, a spoon or two of chunky apple sauce gets thrown on the plate. Some people like to keep the sauce separate but generally there will be potato bits in the sauce when you eat it, lol. It might sound gross but it's surprisingly nice!
      Thank you for letting me info-dump under your reply, I've never had the opportunity to talk to a foreigner about stamppot and not have them look disgusted so this is a special moment :')

Mamaliga is not supposed to be liquidy like polenta, it’s more like cornbread and it’s supposed to be “dipped” in shredded sheep cheese.

    If you like polenta I have a version of my great grandmother's that I modified you can try.
    Polenta: blend 1 cup corn meal in a blender to refine the grain to a finer texture.On the stove bring 2 cups water and 2 cups milk to a low boil, Whisk in 3 tbs of Better than Bouillon Chicken, 3 Tbs butter, 1 Tbs garlic powder, 1 tsp black pepper and salt. Add in blended corn meal, whisk constantly 10 min. Add in 4 oz of herbed feta or Chevre (Humboldt Farms) and a quarter cup of shaved parmesan and continue whisking another 2 to 4 minutes until cheese has melted through and throughly combined. You can add additional herbs to taste.
    Ragu topping(Start this First): Saute together 1 medium or 2 small shallots thinly sliced, 2 large portabella mushrooms diced, 2 large carrots cleaned and diced. Saute until soft. When the veggies are soft add in 1 to 2 cup(s) of veggie/chicken stock, 1 can of diced/crushe roma tomatoes (san marzano), 2 tbs of tomato paste, 2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp of s & p, and reduce down on medium to low heat for 30min to an hour depending on how thick a ragu you want while stirring occasionally. You can also choose to add in ground lamb or beef to the ragu for a heartier dish. This is great to have in the fall or winter months as a comfort dish.

    Miss Pat’s casserole is made with a base layer of egg noodles, then you cover that layer with a combo of cottage cheese, cream cheese, fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt and pepper. My mom tops this layer with her own Sunday sauce (like a bolognese) with ground beef, ground pork, and a mixture of seasonings. Then you cover the whole dish with cheddar cheese and bake until golden brown and bubbly! We make this for every occasion, but especially when things are tough or we have experienced a loss.

      I’ve thought the same for a while. They also have chicharrón and adobo and stuff like that. I also thought it was interesting that the concept of both champurrado versions had similar ideas. (Starchy chocolate porridge) I’m sure there is historical overlap in our ancestry :)

    That dried salty fish on philippines comfort food is also a one of comfort side dish in indonesian lunch. We called that fish 'ikan asin'. We eat it with warm rice, belachan sambal(sambal terasi), sour soup(sayur asem) or just raw veggies, fried tempe or tofu or both, and our best tofu is yellow tofu, which is made and then soaked in salted tumeric water. So the tofu is not bland like chinese tofu. Perfect combination for lunch. Especially if the sambal is very very spicy.
