Phantom Gourmet

This Sunday, February 17th, I was watching Phantom Gourmet on The CW28. The episode focused on comfort food in the U.S. The host gave a list of words, one can find on a menu, that defines comfort food.

The List read as follows:
(1) deep fried
(2) extra cheese
(3) comes with a bread basket
(4) now with extra bacon

The "extra cheese" obviously stuck out to me. To me, extra cheese screaammms comfort food! I think that whenever I have had the option to add extra cheese, I have added the extra cheese. As the host said "the more cheese, the better!" Its tastes better and, as a comfort food, makes you feel better.

According to the show,
The Ultimate Comfort Food = Mac n' Cheese
The Ultimare Comfort Desert = Brownies with Raspberry Cream Cheese
...What ingredient do both dishes include? You guessed it, CHEESE!

Is cheese part of your ultimate comfort food?

I guess I used to like extra cheese more as a kid, cause now when I think about it, it's just like ugh no thanks. Sometimes there is such a thing as too much cheese haha.

Anyway, I find it interesting that they list Mac & Cheese as a comfort food (I don't really thing so myself), but maybe it's because of some subconscious link to lunch made by mom when you were little?
