What do you think of when you hear “comfort food”? Maybe something that will take you back to your childhood. Like chicken soup with noodles after building a snowman outside. Holding that bowl of soup to warm those little toes while swinging your feet because you still can’t touch the ground.
As we age and leave the nest to different parts of the country to follow advances in life, we can easily feel a touch of nostalgia. Comfort food is often synonymous with thoughts of home. So when a delicious meal reminds you of those comforting memories, somehow that nostalgia diminishes.
