Crap but comforting
May. 30th, 2007 10:00 pmYesterday's Guardian food blog featured an entry celebrating the joys of crap but comforting food. The general concensus seemed to settle on some form of beans on toast, preferably with cheese, possibly with marmite, as the very acme of sustinentational solace.
For the record, my favourite comfort food has to peanut butter and marmite sandwiches made with the absolute nastiest white bread — the super soggy stuff that sticks to the roof of your mouth and renders you incapable of speech for at least five minutes — and the lowest of the low brand of smooth peanut butter, packed full of sugary, salty badness. The whole thing should be so nauseatingly full of cheap carbs, fat and salt that, like an exact evil mirror image of shredded wheat, it should be impossible to eat more than two in a single session.
