Pizza, pasta, pies, and cakes...we really can't go wrong with any of these delicious options. Of course, we can't really be eating these foods for every meal, but that is exactly what makes them so special in the first place. When we do finally decide to treat ourselves, at least we have an incredible list to choose from!
So, who here thinks their taste buds know what's what when it comes down to picking deliciously comforting foods? In this quiz we will list 50 of the world's most popular comfort dishes, and everyone will get the chance to vote on which ones are the tastiest. Once everyone has made their scrumptious choices, we will tally up the results and try to guess a favorite movie of everyone's. After all, what goes better with comfort food than a good movie? Nothing! For all the foodies in the house tonight, step right up and take this ultimate food quiz today. It is sure to be the most delicious event of the day!
Mac and Cheese (from a box)
Since a lot of people grew up eating this one, it only makes sense that it would be listed as one of the most popular comfort foods out there. Sure, it may not be fanciest option, but comfort has nothing to do with being fancy. In fact, this dish would probably be enjoyed best while wearing sweats!
Homemade Mac and Cheese
There are a few benefits to choosing this homemade dish over it's boxed competitor. For one thing, it can be made as cheesy as one would want it to be. For another thing, we can bake it with a crunchy layer of breadcrumbs right on top. Who is more into the homemade option?
Lasagna
Now here is one people tend to enjoy frozen, or homemade. It seems that most fans of the dish think that they have the ultimate recipe for it, but with this one it is hard to believe there is a bad recipe out there! Pick or pass for this layered pasta delicacy?
Grilled Cheese
It is hard to think of comfort food without thinking of grilled cheese. It is a simple dish for sure, but when it comes to comfort, simplicity is sometimes best. Another good point, this dish is super affordable. Most people probably already have the ingredients at home! Is this one a go-to dish for anyone?
Tomato Soup
Since we just talked grilled cheese, we figured tomato soup was the most logical place to turn to next. While the two dishes are often enjoyed together, a hot bowl of tomato soup on a cold day would suit most people just fine on its own. What about everyone here? Pick it, or pass it?
Mashed Potatoes
Potatoes are delicious, there are no two ways around it. However, they can be prepared in just about a million different ways. The mashed version is usually served as a side dish, but some would argue that they are the best part of any meal. Who here could get down with a gravy covered pile of mashed taters?
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Nothing says comfort like a big old bowl of pasta. Spaghetti is somewhat of a classic to a lot of people, and what do we have to lose by adding a few meatballs to this classic dish? Nothing! This is a dish that can be served year round, and people will eat it up. Do we love it, or not so much?
Chef Boyardee
This one, like the boxed mac and cheese, is something a lot of people grew up eating. It is a simple treat, just meat filled ravioli covered in tomato sauce, but there is just something about it that brings us right back to our childhood. Is anyone here a big Chef Boyardee fan?
Pancakes
Ah, just look at that glorious stack of pancakes. The best thing about this "dessert of breakfast" option, is how versatile it is! Plain old pancakes are great, but we can toss blueberries, bananas, apples, or even chocolate chips into them to make them even more appealing. Who here is making these for breakfast tomorrow?
Fried Chicken
A true Southern classic. Some may prefer the fast food option of this dish, while others would surely argue that homemade is the only way to go when eating fried chicken. Honestly, its chicken and it's fried, so its really a win win situation either way, right? Would anyone pass this dish up for another?
Fried Chicken and Waffles
Here is an interesting mash-up. Some swear by this combo, while others just can't seem to wrap their minds around it. It is quite simply just fried chicken served on top of waffles, and usually with a bunch of maple syrup thrown on top of it all. Does this sound tasty to anyone here?
French Fries
Here is another one of those delicious ways to eat potatoes we had been talking about earlier. French fries are a go-to treat for a lot of people, but there are so many options in terms of how to enjoy them. Do we pick them up from the drive-through, or do we fry up a batch ourselves? Do we dip in ketchup, or douse in vinegar?
Chili
This dish is specifically popular come winter time. It is one of those dishes that have the rare ability to completely warm ones body up on a cold day. Chili is also a dish that can be completely made to fit one's tastes. One of the better things about a meal, is that it is essentially made by tossing everything into the same pot.
Nachos
Nachos are often found at sporting events, but that certainly does not mean we need to wait for Super Bowl Sunday to enjoy them. They can be found on most appetizer menus, and they are also pretty easy to make at home. Who here is a big time nacho fan?
McDonald's
This one is a broad category. It could mean anything off of the McDonald's menu. McDonald's is a fast food staple for a lot of people, but the ones who dislike it tend to go pretty hard. So, who here finds themselves in the McDonald's drive-through more often then they would like to admit?
Burrito
A burrito is an excellent option, especially for people trying to enjoy a treat while on the go. These tightly wrapped tortilla sandwiches can be filled with anything we desire. Rice, beans, meat, veggies...the possibilities are endless with this dish! Should we pick one up, or look for something else?
Apple Pie
Let's take a look at something a little bit sweeter for this question. Apple pie is a classic. It is no doubt the most popular pie around, but there are still a ton of people who would choose cake over any type of pie, so the results on this one may vary quite a bit...
Pizza
Okay, so this one we are guessing most people will be on board with. Considering this meal can be adjusted to fit most peoples tastes, we can see why it has become one of the most popular comfort dishes available. Veggies or no veggies, meat or vegetarian...this dish can be prepared for anyone.
Powdered Doughnuts
Doughnuts themselves are a pretty awesome treat, but what about the powdered ones specifically? When prepared properly they should be quite moist even with all of the powder, but some people still claim that jelly filled is the only way to go. Who here would opt for the these powdered desserts?
Egg Rolls
Regardless of the order we made at our local restaurant, egg rolls are coming with it. These fried cabbage filled tubes are the only logical side dish to all of our Asian food favorites, but does anyone here not really care for them? When ordering from these restaurants, do we ask them to leave these out?
Cinnamon Bun
These are a go-to mall snack for a lot of people. They are large, gooey, and covered in sugary icing. So naturally, they are a bestseller! However, some people could argue that these are simply just too sweet. Which side of the argument do you fall on? Pick, or pass?
Chocolate Chip Cookie
There are chocolate chip cookie fans, and then there are oatmeal raisin fans. Both of these groups feel very strongly about their cookie preferences, but which of them are actually correct in their choice? Who here believes that chocolate chip cookies are really the only way to go? Pick them, or pass them?
Clam Chowder
Now here is one that is sure to split the room in half. The fishy soup is a New England classic, but it can be found just about anywhere. It is a cream based soup full of clams, and usually other seafood as well. Who here is always happy to find this on a restaurant menu?
Club Sandwich
A club sandwich is hard to argue against. One could say that these sandwiches are simply just too large, but they are truly packed with the most basic of ingredients. Chicken, lettuce, tomato, and bacon...there isn't a whole lot one could mess up while preparing one of these. Do we get one, or wait for a better option?
Ratatouille
Here is another one that is likely to split the room. Ratatouille is a french dish comprised of stewed vegetables. While some will say that nothing is more comforting than a bowl of ratatouille, others will surely point out that anything this healthy cannot be a true comfort dish. Pick, or pass?
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is one of those things that people actually start to crave if they haven't had any in a while. We can spread it across toast, add it into recipes, or even just scoop it right from the jar. There are a million reasons to love peanut butter, but we are willing to bet there are people out there with a million reasons why they dislike it.
Tuna Melt
To enjoy this comfort dish, one really needs to be down with tuna. The sandwich basically just consists of tuna salad, which has been baked in a large amount of melted cheese. While most would agree that melted cheese can make anything delicious, tuna is a particularly hard taste to mask if we don't enjoy it naturally.
Brownies
In terms of chocolate desserts, there are not a whole lot of options out there richer than the brownie. Everyone makes them a little differently, but when properly prepared, brownies are super moist and gooey. They are best served warm, and with a scoop of ice cream on top. Pick them, or pass them up?
Chicken Pot Pie
Who said pie was only for dessert? This comfort food is all about the pie crust, but instead of being filled with sweet fruits and berries, they are jam packed with chunks of juicy chicken, veggies, and cream sauce. Does this sound like an intriguing dish to anyone here? Love it, or not so much?
Ice Cream
Since there are just about a billion different flavors of ice cream, most people have found at least a few that they really enjoy. Unless people are too sensitive for frozen treats, this one is an easy one to jump on board with. After all, what is more comforting after a heartbreak than a bowl (or a carton) of ice cream?
French Onion Soup
Okay, we know we have done a lot of soups questions, but hey, soup is comforting! French onion soup in particular can be quite comforting indeed. Its base is just a simple onion soup, but then there are chunks of bread added on top, as well as a layer of baked gooey cheese. Pick it, or pass it?
Cheeseburger
Sometimes, after a particularly bad day, all our minds can focus on is sinking our teeth into a big, juicy burger. Okay, so maybe not everyone feels that way, but that is exactly what we are trying to figure out in this quiz! Who here dreams of burgers, and who just doesn't enjoy them much at all?
Chocolate Pudding
Most people have been eating this dessert for a very long time. When we were kids, we used to be served this dessert in little plastic cups. However, as you can see in this photo, grown ups have decided that this dessert can be enjoyed at any age, just as long as we fancy the plating up a bit!
Chicken Noodle Soup
This is our last soup question, we promise. Chicken noodle soup is probably the most popular soup out there. For some reason it has become somewhat of a cure-all option for colds, and flu like symptoms, but we think people just like creating reasons to enjoy a bowl of it.
Chocolate Cake
Chocolate cake is usually a safe bet for people to order. It is a simple dessert, so often it is prepared perfectly. However, there are a lot of people out there who seem to prefer a yellow cake option. What about everyone here? Do we go for the classic chocolate cake, or pick a different dessert?
Dumplings
Dumplings are an Asian style treat that not everyone is always on board with, but fans of this dish will choose it every time. They can be filled with any number of things, and they can be enjoyed steamed or fried. What is everyone's take on dumplings? Love 'em, or not so much?
Tacos
Some people swear by hard taco shells, while others know that soft shells are the only way to go. Inside of the tacos, there can be just about any kind of meat, fish, or veggie, but who here is actually ordering them at all? Do we have any big time taco fans in the house?
Philly Cheesesteak
One does not need to be from Philly just to be able to enjoy one of these subs. In fact, these can now be found all over the place. Although, we are willing to bet the best ones are still found in Philly. Is this a sandwich anyone here is likely to order for dinner?
Lobster Rolls
So, for anyone who wasn't too into the cheese steak sandwich option, maybe the rich lobster roll is more your thing? Lobster rolls are simple to make, they are just lobster meat with mayo, served on a buttery roll. Simple, yet so delicious. Does everyone agree? Or do some not like the look of these at all?
Fried Cheese Curds
Who here has ever tried these bad boys? There is not much to them, simply just cheese curds which have been battered and fried, but what more does a dish like that really need? These can also be enjoyed with any number of dipping sauces. Pick them, or pass them?
Crab Cakes
Instead of fried cheese, these are patties of fried crab meat. Of course, these are usually prepared with a bunch of other things in them too, but the crab meat is no doubt the most important ingredient in the whole dish. Do we have any crab cake fans here today?
Tater Tots
We have talked about mashed potatoes, and we have discussed french fries, but what about tots? Tater tots are an interesting way to eat a potato. They are really just baked little nuggets of potato, but something about them just makes them so special. Does anyone here love these little guys?
Gumbo
Gumbo has sort of the same appeal as chili. Everything one wants in the dish is placed in the same pot, and stewed together for a while. Some people enjoy vegetarian gumbo, while others choose to put sausage, or even seafood into it. Pick this dish, or pass it up?
Fried Green Tomatoes
Yep, that is essentially all this dish is. Slices of ripe green tomato, battered, and fried to perfection. It is a strange option for sure, but one cannot knock it until they have tried it! These usually are paired with some sort of dipping sauce as well. Pick this dish, or pass it up?
Hot Dogs
Okay, we have gone over the burgers, the sandwiches, and most appropriate side dishes, but what about the classic hot dog? These are so popular that they can be found for sale on just about any street corner in NYC, but in all seriousness, these would be super easy to make at home as well.
Chips and Queso
Sometimes we are just too tired at the end of the day to prepare an actual meal. Those are the days when we need some snack styled comfort foods instead. What makes a tastier comfort snack than chips and queso? Does everyone here agree with that, or not exactly? Pick this snack, or pass it?
Cheesecake
Cheesecake is no doubt one of the richest dessert options out there. It contains a whole lot of cream cheese, and also most of them have a crumbly cookie base. If that isn't enough to sell you, a lot of these cakes come topped with delicious berries as well! Pick it, or pass it?
Sloppy Joe
These are a very messy treat, but a treat nonetheless! It is rare to find these on a restaurant menu, but they are super easy to make at home. All one needs to make the perfect Sloppy Joe is some ground beef, seasoning, and a hamburger bun. Who here is on board with these?
Toasted Raviolis
Not everyone may be aware that these are actually a thing, but let us tell you they most certainly are! Just think regular raviolis, but all toasted and crispy! Tomato sauce is obviously the logical dipping sauce for these bad boys. Of all the delicious options we have seen, would anyone choose these?
S'mores
S'mores are the only dessert appropriate while out camping in the woods. There is nothing quite as comforting as a toasted marshmallow, right? Now imagine that marshmallow covered in melted chocolate, and sandwiched between two graham crackers... Is this dish an instant pick, or is it one we would be likely to pass up?
