You just want ‘comfort’ food...
Just a burger and fries, home made, nothing fancy... Comfort...
Everybody has different ideas of what is ‘comfort’ food for themselves, and that is fine as we all grew up in different places eating different things.
But I do find there are only ‘certain’ places I will spend the $$ to get a burger and fries, and those are usually the greasy spoons. Why, you ask?
Because they remind me of the places I grew up where we didn’t have McDonalds, or the other fast food places. A&W was about it, back when they were a drive in, and Dairy Queen (where you ONLY got the ice cream). Otherwise, it was a mom and pop restaurant, or a greasy spoon... Yes, we were cheep! Hell, we didn’t have much money as kids, or even in the early years in the Navy.
I can afford better today, even the occasional steak dinner, but I still like and default to a plain old burger and fries...
What was/is your favorite comfort food? Mexican, Italian, British, Fish/shrimp???
Pot Roast, the way my mother made it (And now I do) using vinegar instead of water.
sigh... unobtainable here...Maryland bluecrabs steamed in beer and Old Bay™ seasoning with National Bo beer ( I was in my late teens before I knew that crabsnbeer wasn't one word) - or a pan-fried softcrab sandwich...sigh
