I also am a sucker for the grilled cheese and tomato soup, sometimes I'll put some bacon on the sandwich for added comfort.

I love bacon.

My grilled cheese sammies must have sauteed mushrroms on them.
I also like a slice of fresh tomato, but if I have tomato soup with it, the tomato slice isn't essential.

Maggie Moo's has dark chocolate ice cream. Dark freakin' chocolate ice cream. Two scoops, with peanut butter, Reese's Cups, dark chocolate syrup, and whipped cream.
Orgasmic.

Wow Cail...I hope you mix in some time on the treadmill after ingesting that glorious mixture!
Guns' comfort food? I go for cinammon toast! Lightly buttered with a dash o' brown sugar.

Pickled herrings & raw onions on rye (smeared with roasting lard from an oven pork-roast) with beer and schnaps!
Now THAT's comfort!

My oath to remain kissable at all times forbids such a meal.

HEH!
You are right, it's not exactly kissing friendly. But when I'm ill enough to need comfort-food, I don't expect to be kissable to begin with.

Just plain sugar toast is good, I actually prefer that to cinnamon toast.

Oh Prebe, you have got to fix a smorgasbord for me one day! That sounds awesome.

I'd love to menolly. In fact, an open invitation to anyone on the board is hereby extended: If you are ever in Denmark, I'll fix you a couple of open sandwiches (perhaps the pickled herrings are not the place to start, but surprisingly many "first time users" actually like it).

Prebe, if we ever get over that way, you're on!!!

My dad used to love pickled herring. I've tried but haven't been able to develop a taste for it. Raw onions do not like ME. The combo would be enough to put me down for the count.

Every county, every town and every cook has their own recipe, varying from plain salted over fried and pickled to creme fraiche/curry and even sherry marinade. So there's bound to be one you like. Unless of course you are not a fish person. A Danish smorgasbord usually has no less than three varieties.
And as for the invitation, I'm absolutely serious. Just PM me in advance if any of you ever decide to cross the atlantic.
Edit: Menolly, I'm still waiting for the peaches to come in season, for the aliantha sorbet. I haven't forgotten.

I definitely like fish alot, I just don't like the pickled herring that my dad liked. Perhaps I should try to find time to make my way to Denmark and do a pickled herring challenge!!!! I also now understand better why my Dad used to tell me all Danish people like pickled herring and tease me that I had too much German blood overshadowing the Danish heritage.

I still however bear a Danish surname which is incidentally the most common surname in Denmark.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Actually it's Christensen. Oddly enough, my married surname was Christianson but after the divorce I changed it back.

My mother has to have pickled herring every New Year's. She's mostly German, but her family came from near Hamburg so I guess that's close enough to the sea to like herring.
I like it also, but my father's family are from countries that ring the North Sea, Scotland, Denmark, and Norway. So the love of herring may be genetic in my case.

I love pickled herring, especially in cream sauce with onions. But, I admit I've only had the jarred American stuff. I bet I would be in heaven to try the variety available in Denmark.
