Ultimate Comfort Foods

[Too Tall]

We all have favorite "go to" comfort foods. Mundane as a bag of salt and vinegar chips to the unobtainable found on the ground nearly rotten mangos....seriously tropical fruit that's buzzing with fruit flies...you have to try it. There are also nostalgic comfort foods which are less widely accepted by others. My focus is on foods which will have popular appeal.

Every four months or so I'm invited to a gathering where we share food. Each gathering has a theme, upcoming will be "comfort food". I've got two in mind thus far (below) what's yours?

1. Hand Cranked Philadelphia (French) Style Vanilla Bean (the real deal please) ice creme with candied pecans folded in >> Not much to say if you know the drill. If I make this I'll take some pics. and post a recipe. Done right you can not beat, no pun intended, hand crank full fat ice creme. It is smooth as silk, rich and not (gag) frozen. This is a fresh food that must be eaten at once!

2. Zabaglione > This is a old school egg yolks + lemon + Marsala (double boiler) + sugar over generously poured warm over fresh fruit. Basically bringing a gun to a knife fight and ridiculously easy to make.

Go!
