Don't Let Your Meat Loaf

Childhood is all about comfort food, and silly little sayings like “Whatcha got on? Your mind?” I just made a pot roast a couple of days ago, and have been enjoying the leftovers ever since. Meatloaf leftovers are another favorite of mine…there’s nothing like a good meatloaf sandwich on rye!

Comfort food translates to all cultures. The French have cassoulet , the Brits have bangers (sausages) and mash (mashed potatoes), and everyone has a great stew of some sort for these cool, fall days full of harvest vegetables.

Pub grub is, by its very nature, comfort food with a capital C. Homemade soups, fresh bread, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and piled-high sandwiches are just a few of the hearty and simple dishes you’ll find in any Irish, Scottish, or English establishment.

Add a rich Guinness or a tart cider and you’ll fall in love with fall all over again!
