Writer's Block: Comfort Food

[Error: unknown template qotd]

BREAD. Bread is good anytime, but it is very comforting in times of crisis. A good demi-baguette, a hunk of gouda, and a pot of Nutella = lunch of the gods. Or bread, herbed goat cheese, and dry-ish red wine - that's a terrific late-night supper or snack. (Sure, for a balanced diet there should be some veg in there, and I would enjoy a spinach or arugula (or spinach AND arugula) and spring mix salad alongside, but I'm really about the bread.)

Generally speaking I crave the STARCH. Starch and sugar, starch and fat.

I have to say, though, that despite my conflicted feelings about eating meat, particularly beef, when confronted with a German restaurant my DNA rises up and howls for saurbraten as well as spaetzle. (The Berghoff, how I hope you have not totally changed from the old days when my uncle and I used to lunch with you.)
