  2. Cool to see harry. lol marmite..interesting. As a Korean, kimchee jijae is definitely a top comfort food. Congee or jook / porridge is one as well. Cool to see different cultures and their food and stories behind them. Seems like moms have one of the biggest influences when it comes to childhood memories with food

  3. LAHMACUN BELONGS TO TURKEYYYYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. That is the comfort in comfort food. I think it has little to do with the meal itself and more to do with the sentimental attachments made with it, to childhood, parents, or a certain time in one's life. We are such emotional beings!
