My comfort food is Pho. It's a Vietnamese soup that's made with an aromatic spice infused beef broth, with chunks of meat, noodles, and bean sprouts, and I like to top it with hoisin sauce, soy* sauce, Sriracha and green onion.

I'm from the United States and my ultimate comfort food is my mom's chocolate chip cookies. She has a special way of making them but I've never seen used anywhere else or by anyone else. she always starts with shortening instead of butter and uses equal amounts brown sugar and regular sugar and she adds water and a blend of semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. She always make them really massive and when they come out of the oven they're just super gooey and warm and delicious. If I'm ever feeling down or stressed or miss her then I make her chocolate chip cookies and it never fails to cheer me up.

The whole world and their comfort foods: 𝓬𝓾𝓵𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓮

[@believeinmatter]

I love how 90% of the people’s favourite comfort food is just stuff they got as a kid. People are nostalgic about their childhood without even realizing it

[@jimmy_x557]

My wife is Egyptian and my mum's lebanese. Both cultures foul dish is very different but both amazing. Lebanese one is lemony, garlicky and fresh. Egyptian one is like a delicious vegetarian salsa with heavy cumin flavour. Both are so comforting

[@EM-ol6rb]

The entire world: “so we make it from scratch, my nana’s special ingredient, you can put beef or pork or vegetables in it...” UK /US “PACKET OF SLICED BREAD”

[@caglabot]

everyone: introduces diverse foods from their cultures, all of them look really tasty

[@Granthill-fy8me]

I'm Chinese-Australian, and I started thinking about what my ideal comfort food would be when I started watching this video. It turned out that I had a very similar experience with the Chinese lady in this video as well. My parents sometimes made congee with cabbage and chicken in the morning and it was the best meal I could ever have wanted. I also requested this when I was sick and also when I got braces on (because I could only eat soft foods). It really shows just how nice this mixture of rice and water really is.

[@sahansavinuthmi8188]

My favourite comfort fruit of my culture is Jak, the Jak Fruit. It can be prepared using a lot of methods and we eat it with bread, rice, rotti and even without additions. The Jak Tree is also called ' The Rice Tree ' as rice is the main part of Sri Lankan cuisine and Jak can be used as an alternative to rice. I just LOVE it! ❤

[@izzfizz9721]

I love how basically everywhere has lovely intricate, sometimes even healthy foods that their Mums made and then the us and uk are just like B R E A D
