Subject: I'm a sucker for a 'homemade' anything to make me feel 'at home' . inside
In reply to: Araninda 's message, "Comfort Foods. . . ." on 16:24:56 01/18/13 Fri

Living in 6 countries and travelling so much, food seems to make me feel better and when I find something local that is delish, it makes me happy. Of course, I've managed to find the most fattening foods in every country I've ever visited or lived in ! Haha! For example, stroopwafels and Boschbol (like a large chocolate- covered profiterole, but filled with pure whipped cream-not custard) in Holland, as well as all the fantastic Dutch cheeses, gaufres (big hot wafels) and frites (large french fries) in Belgium, blini with cream and fresh strawberry jam and pirogs (vegetable--mainly cabbage or meat filled pies) in Russia, thin crispy pizza and all kinds of Italian pastries and cookies in Italy, Atholl Brose in Scotland, fish 'n chips, fresh scones with clotted cream and marmalade, cornish pasties and ice cream, anything from Burroughs Market in England. I tell you -- my life in food!

[> [> I know what pasties are! My grandmother was from Cornwall. Pasties are one of my father's (her son) favorite dishes. She also started us on Shepherd's Pie. We make stroopwafels every Christmas in honor of my Dutch great grandparents. All of those are some rather tasty treats! Unfortunately they aren't on my diet now, especially pasties with my mother flakey & BUTTERY pie crust! -- doc, 09:58:44 01/21/13 Mon [1]
