Everybody has a dish they go to for comfort, sometimes we have multiple... Food is just one of those things that can make us feel better no matter what the case is. If we are sick, some chicken noodle soup will do the job! Broken heart? No problem, just grab the ice cream! It is hard to even think about what we would do if these comforts weren't at our finger tips, isn't it? Today we are going to go through all of the classics one by one. We will decide which ones are truly the best, and which ones just do not cut it as a classic comfort dish. The best part? After picking and passing each of these tasty dishes, we are going to give everyone a truly classic dessert which we think would delight their taste buds!
Feeling a little hungry today? Or just have 15 minutes to put towards looking at delicious pictures of food? It really does not matter, this quiz is here for everyone! Just try to not be hungry by the end of this one, it is impossible! No, we really mean it, make sure there are snacks around before even starting this one...
Tater Tots
Whether we enjoy these as a side dish or the main meal, they are truly a classic. Not quite a french fry, not quite mashed potatoes, they are wonderfully unique, and totally comforting. How does everyone enjoy these little morsels? Ketchup or no ketchup? Or do you pass them all together?
Cobb Salad
We are not even sure if this is technically a salad. Yes, there are plenty of greens in it, but we dare anyone to not be completely full after taking one of these down. It is jam packed with proteins like grilled chicken, hard boiled eggs, bacon, and avocados. The question is, does this dish tickle anyone's fancy?
Pot Roast
The thing about pot roast, is that the smell of it cooking in a home is somehow even more comforting than eating the delicious meal its self. There is nothing quite like coming in after a chilly day outside, to the instantly warming smell of a pot roast in the oven, are we right about this? Pick or pass?
Fajitas
This dish is arguably the most dangerous thing on most menus. No, not because of any over powering spices, or anything like that, but because the plate arrives to the table so sizzling hot that the server is usually wearing oven mitts (oven mitts which we may add, they do not leave behind for the person about to eat the dish). Pick or pass?
Beef Jerky
Some people love the stuff, and some can't stand it. This classic treat is something that can be very versatile. It can be done with really any meat at all, and then pretty much any flavor can be added to it. The original beef with peppercorn is truly the most classic form though. Pick or pass?
Jambalaya
This is another fairly versatile dish, but since this one can be completely altered to fit ones tastes, its hard not to get behind it. How does everyone take their Jambalaya? Shrimps, sausages, pork, or craw fish? How about the whole lot? Or do we choose to pass the dish up completely?
Corn Bread
A real down south classic. This recipe is actually something that has been around much longer than any of us. Before European explorers even came to the new world, the Native folk were already enjoying this tasty dish. Still to this day, whether in muffin form, or in a baked loaf, corn bread is enjoyed by many. Pick or pass?
Biscuits and Gravy
This dish is somewhat of a win win for most people. Freshly baked sourdough biscuits topped with a meaty gravy? Yum! It is definitely build as a comfort dish, that is for sure. This meal is actually enjoyed as breakfast option a lot of the time. Who would order this one in the A.M?
Sushi
This one is really going to split the room in half. Those who enjoy it will stand by it and claim it is definitely a comfort food, while those who are less than fond of this fishy option will toss it aside claiming it has no business in this quiz at all. Raw fish wrapped in rice and seaweed? Pick or pass?
Meatloaf
There is not much to this dish, depending on who is preparing it, it usually consists of group beef with spices compressed into loaf form and baked. Very simple, but oh so tasty! This is a hearty dish, and can warm the bellies of even the coldest people on a winters day. Pick or pass?
Mac and Cheese
We are not talking about the boxed stuff here...we are talking about the real deal. Butt loads of cheese melted around warm freshly cooked noodles, preferably all baked afterwards with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs on top. Who is following along, and who stopped to wipe their mouths? Pick or pass?
Grits
This dish is reminiscent of the corn bread we have already discussed. It consists pretty much of the same ingredients, except they have been boiled down into a mush like substance instead of baked. Many enjoy grits along side their breakfast, and some choose to eat it with shrimp as a dinner option.
PB&J
To say one has never tried a PB&J sandwich is to say one never really even had a childhood. O.k, so that may be stretching it a bit, but honestly if anyone here has not tried one of these, do it now! It is probably the cheapest form of comfort food available to us. Pick or pass this playground classic?
Crab Cakes
So this is a tasty option for most, but for anyone who is not a fan of shellfish these would be an easy pass. They are simple enough ingredients wise, Pretty much just crab meat, some spices, a few cut up veggies for flavor, all held together with some breadcrumbs, then fried or baked. Yay or Nay?
Chicken and Waffles
For some reason people remain skeptical of this dish. Everyone enjoys waffles, and everyone certainly enjoys fried chicken, so why not mesh the two and smother them in some maple syrup? When it comes to comfort food especially we have nothing to lose in trying new ideas! What do we think? Pick or pass?
Baked Beans
O.k, so when we said PB&J may be the cheapest comfort food option available to us, we may have been wrong. Baked beans are not doubt a low cost option, but they are still one of the most popular comfort dishes out there today. Enjoyed straight out of the can, or prepared in a huge family sized pot, there is enough beans for everyone! Pick or pass?
New England Clam Chowder
This is another one that comes with a lot of debate. Any fish lovers out there who have been lucky enough to try a bowl of this stuff know that it is a fine delicacy. Those who have issues with seafood may not even be able to stomach the smell. Pick or pass this fishy soup?
Lobster Rolls
O.k, so even if some one is not the biggest seafood fan, how can they not at least support lobster rolls? Lobster is just so rich and flavorful that it is hard to believe anyone would be able to pass it up, especially once its been tossed in mayo and served on a fresh bun. Pick or pass?
Buffalo Wings
Any sports fans in the house? This dish could make anyone want to sit down and watch the game! If prepared right these chicken wings are crispy, juicy, and spicy all at the same time. They usually come served with some carrots and celery, but pay those no mind...Pick or pass?
BLT
A true classic. It is so simple and delicious no one ever even thought to give it a better name, it is just so perfect the way it is.Juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, deliciously crispy bacon, all topped with a bit of mayo, and served on some lightly toasted bread. Need we say much more?
BBQ Ribs
Yes, ribs are delicious, but who are we kidding all BBQ is delicious! This one is going to be a hard one for anyone to pass up right? Everyone has their own recipe for these, but it really does not take more than tossing some onto the grill and throwing some BBQ sauce on top. Pick or pass?
Deep Dish Pizza
As if pizza wasn't already the most amazing thing man has ever created. Just when we thought things couldn't get any better, they invented deep dish pizza...everything we already loved about pizza, except now more of it! Sure, we may not be able to eat as many pieces, but most would say the trade off is worth it!
Philly Cheese Steak
One does not need to travel to Philly to enjoy one of these. We are sure the authentic option is the best, but these can be found on menus all over the place these days. It was just too delicious a sandwich to leave in one place! Finely cut steak, sauteed with peppers and onions, covered in cheese, and served on warm bread. Yum!
Nachos
Everybody likes nachos don't they? They can be made so many different ways that is seems totally believable that there is a version for everyone! Meat or vegetarian, salsa or guacamole, it does not matter your preference, we are all winning with this dish! Pick or pass this classic dish?
Hot Dogs
Here is another game day classic. Hot dogs are everywhere. If we go to an event there are hot dog vendors, if we walk the streets there are hot dog vendors, they are pretty much always at our finger tips. Do we choose to eat them is the question? Pick or pass?
Cheese Burger
Has there ever been a more classic dish? Probably not... A cheese burger is so much more than just a sandwich, it is a tradition. They are pretty much unavoidable as well, just like our hot dogs. Trying to find something to eat on a road trip that is not a cheese burger? Good luck! Pick or pass?
Bagel and Lox
Here is another one for the seafood lovers out there! Bagel and lox is a real treat for most people. It is not part of a standard every day breakfast so when we are given the chance to enjoy this meal it is hard to pass it up, right? How does everyone feel about this one? Pick or pass?
Tacos
Another very versatile option. Tacos is more of a concept than a set dish. We can fill those little corn tortillas with anything we desire. From pork to shrimp, from beef to veggies, there is a taco out there for everyone! How do you eat your tacos? Or do we pass them up all together?
Corn Dogs
O.k, so we have discussed corn bread, and we have discussed hot dogs. Now put those two ideas together and we have corn dogs! A hot dog dipped in corn bread batter then fried, honestly what more could we want in a comfort meal? The only question left is, ketchup or mustard?
Chili
This is another dish that can warm us up all the way down to our bones. It is thick and hearty, and has all the protein one could ever need. Still need something more? Toss some onto a pile of fries, and you've got yourself a real treat! Pick or pass?
Reuben Sandwich
This sandwich is a real mouth full. It is a stack of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing, all grilled together between pieces of delicious rye bread. Honestly we are getting full just talk about it, who here feels the same? Pick or pass?
Spaghetti and Meatballs
There is a member of every family who makes "the worlds best spaghetti sauce". It is just one of those things people like to adjust and make their own. Pretty much all versions of this dish are delicious, it does not really matter who is making it. Simple, delicious, classic. Pick or pass?
Grilled Cheese
Tomato soup anyone? A grilled cheese is something that just makes us feel better. Even when we are sick and probably should not be eating melted cheese encased in buttery bread, it is what we crave to make us feel a little better. Serve it up next to a warm bowl of soup and you're good to go!
Deviled Eggs
These are around at almost every type of event. Someone always bring deviled eggs. And why not? they are easy to make, cheap enough, and everybody loves them! Just a hard boiled egg, who's yolk has been whipped up with some mayo, and replaced in the egg white. Pick or pass?
Thanksgiving
This is the ultimate comfort meal. We are not just talking turkey here, we are talking about the entire spread. Cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, gravy on top of it all, honestly what says comfort food more than a Thanksgiving meal? Nothing! Pick or pass this classic meal?
