Chicken and dumplings, biscuits, fried potatoes, and soup beans-remind me of my Grandma. 
Pancakes when I'm hungover (which doesn't happen very often).
Grilled cheese and tomato soup-but made with water and not milk.

I totally hear you on corn! I'm happy with just tinned corn with salt on it (what I had for dinner last night, just couldn't be bothered to eat the rest, I even stole my husband's corn from him) one of my favorite things is corn mixed with rice with soy sauce, but I do mash my potatoes up with my corn as well. I'm not so big on things made from corn though, I'd rather just eat it.

Hot ham and cheese is my other one. Arby's was one of my favourite places because they had the perfect hot ham and cheese sandwich.

Another for the carbs here!  :)

My top two - what I want whenever I am sick with cold/flu, or extremely down & out, are:  homemade macaroni & cheese, and chicken & noodles - ideally over mashed potatoes.  :D  Just like Grandma's.  I also *love* her cinnamon rolls, but they are such a faff to make, I've only made them once in all the time I've been here.

DH's comfort food, on the other hand, is curry!  Sometimes I think that man would eat curry every night if he could, and inevitably he makes an especially hot one when I'm sick (just when I'm wanting the above) that just ends up burning my throat and making me feel worse.  :P  (or maybe he does that just so he gets to eat it all himself)

Cheese.  I worship at the altar of cheese, but when I need comforting it must be melty cheese.  Quesadillas, cheese on toast, grilled cheese, pasta with cheese.  For a full-on comfort meal, though, it's gotta be southern fried chicken and mashed potatoes with cream gravy.  Mmmm, drooling now  [smiley=smitten.gif]

YES!!!!

Dig a potato out of the ground, peel it and give yourself a little slice with sprinkle of salt. Delish!!

You still haven't convinced me.  :P ;)

This is gonna sound completely odd, but, it's one of my favourite ultimate concoctions: Macaroni and cheese(preferably Kraft, but, barring that, soya cheese) with rice;sometimes adding vienna sausages or spam if either was on hand, if not, fair enough. I'd make it for myself when I was having an off day when I lived in the States, and it makes me feel gutted when I can't make it for myself now at the drop of a hat.

One of my favourite meals ever has to be the chicken and cilantro rice that my ex's mom used to make.

Ultimate comfort food would be anything that my aunt from Chicago cooked. Total whiz in the kitchen!

I like adding tuna to macaroni & cheese, and sometimes salsa as well - or rooster sauce.

Oooh, I used to add fresh salsa from the farmer's market sometimes. What's rooster sauce?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriracha_sauce

Ohh, Sriracha! My co workers at the restaurant I was at put that stuff on just about everything. My taste buds are wimps, I tried a drop or two once and my mouth was on fire for hours. Didn't go there anymore! LOL!!!!  ;D

Oh yes... I LOVE sriracha sauce. I could eat it on virtually anything. Except peanut butter, which is definitely one of my other comfort foods.   ;)

Cheese.  I worship at the altar of cheese, but when I need comforting it must be melty cheese.  Quesadillas, cheese on toast, grilled cheese, pasta with cheese.  For a full-on comfort meal, though, it's gotta be southern fried chicken and mashed potatoes with cream gravy.  Mmmm, drooling now  [smiley=smitten.gif] 

And any of the above is very comforting, as well.  [smiley=blush.gif]

Me too! It's so good :)

I'm eating one of my ultimate comfort foods  (chicken nuggets) right now because I went to the Japanese store and bought a massive bag of panko so breaded chicken strips had to be made :D
As a kid my favourite dinner ever was a thin omelette with shed loads of scallions, home made chicken nuggets and plain white rice (with a little knob of butter and garlic thrown in whilst cooking)

I have 60 packets of regular ranch but no spicy ranch but you can add cayenne pepper I suppose!
Where did you get it? In the states I am guessing ;-)

Yes at Wal Marts...

Queso! And Taco Bell and Cheese on Toast w/tomato soup.  Jewlz, I'm with you on the mashed potatoes and corn.  Now I want to eat all of these things.  :P

I love Sriracha.  I put it on everything, it makes a fabulous dip mixed with hummus or mayonaise.
