Hot Cocoa made with Green & Black's cocoa powder and milk. I had some tonight watching "You've Got Mail". First cup of proper cocoa I've had for ages. Just fancied it.

Comfort food.... probably some good quality vanilla ice cream with crumbled bits of crunchie in it. Yum!

Pizza Express Sloppy Giuseppe - I'll eat a whole large one without even thinking about it (that's what she said).
Proper scones with proper jam and cream.
And for some reason, cereal. Just had a massive bowl of Dorset Cereals berry and cherry and it was delish!

Mainly traditional english food.
Sausage, mash and onion gravy
Cottage pie
Steak and kidney pud
Steamed pud and custard

Also - Spag Bol.

Similar to Bigstan - there's not one food I particulalry choose as "comfort food"... when I read the thread I thought "oh I know I know!!!", but then I realised that actually "I don't know"

Food in general - in fact I think when I'm down I just binge eat - as you know I can put away a lot of food so it ends up being a bit of a fridge clear up!

This stuff for me as well. Something hearty and satisfying. Add roast dinner with lots of gravy to that list as well.

You see for me it would have to be something readily available and easy to prepare... a roast whilst delicious and hearty would take too long for that "quick fix" that comfort food is all about!

If you can be bothered cooking, you have to try this
Frozen Mississippi mud pie
Base
50g Butter
75g Digestive biscuits
75g Ginger biscuits
Filling
1 pint double cream
450g Caster Sugar
4 level tbsp corn flour
4 eggs
125g butter
1tsp vanilla
30ml rum
10ml coffee essence (if you haven’t got any, keep an eye out for camp coffee, in a light brown glass bottle usually in the baking isle by sugar)
Topping
125g Plain Chocolate
2 eggs (separated)
150ml Double cream
icing sugar + cocoa for dusting
chocolate curls or grated chocolate for decoration.

1) lightly oil a deep 8” spring release cake tin
2) melt butter, finely crush biscuits and add the melted butter. Press into the bottom of the cake tin to form a abase. Place in fridge and allow to cool
Filling
1) Place cream and sugar in a heavy pan over a low pan. Heat until the sugar is dissolved, Do NOT boil. Remove from heat.
2) Mix the cornflour with 60ml of cold water, beat eggs and add to the cream
3) Place pan back onto the heat and bring to the boil, continuously stirring until it has boiled. Boil for 15-20mins stirring occasionally until very thick and looks like fudge.
4) Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, beat the butter and all over ingredients into the fudge until glossy.
5) Leave to cool further, poor over base and return to fridge.
Topping
1)Melt chocolate and cream for 10 mins do NOT boil
2) leave to fully cool
3) whisk the egg whites and fold into the chocolate
4) spoon over the fudge and place in the freezer for at least 2hours. Remove from freezer 20-30mins before serving.

Note – do not feed the Mississippi mud pie to pregnant people or young children, ensure that eggs are well within use by date.

Ingredients:

Base:
I like to leave a few big bits, to add texture.

Filling

been boiling for 5 mins

Boiled for 20mins, now left to cool.

Butter, rum, coffee, vanilla beaten in.

Topping:

Remember make sure everythings clean, if you get any yolk or a number of other containments in the egg whites. they will not whisk.

Just waiting for things to cool down, before finishing it of

All finished with some grated chocolate on top
