TOP AMERICAN COMFORT FOODS

When Americans get the blues they head to the fridge and pantry for their favorite comfort foods. Comfort foods evoke a sense of well-being and security that often have their roots in the beloved sights and smells of the childhood kitchen. Perhaps grandma made you a batch of chocolate chip cookies when you skinned your knee or lost your skates. Depending on the part of the U.S. you grew up in and the ethnicity of your family, your favorite dessert might be the familiar and beloved banana pudding or an all-American favorite, ice cream. This list of favorite comfort foods is as varied and diverse as the people of the U.S.A.
