It is food that you have grown up with, whether with friends, or family. You can relate to having a good time when you eat these foods, because it brings back good memories, and the love it took to make the meals them self.

comfort food is a kind of food that makes you think about your childhood, for example, if you and your grandma always made white chocolate chip cookies, that might be a comfort food, or if your mom made the best spaghetti, than spaghetti would be a comfort food. it could also be the kind of food you eat when you are sad, like ice cream out of the carton, or cookie dough.

I don't think of comfort food as being *only* foods one enjoyed as a child (though of course those could qualify).
I think of them as foods that bring "comfort" now.
So IMO, comfort foods are usually:
...warm or hot
...often high in fat and/or sugar
...often "wet"
...often soft or partly soft
...leave the stomach feeling full and "finished"
(of course, that leaves out cold ice cream and other desserts which could be comfort foods for some people too)

It's a food, that when you are having a bad day or life just sucks in general, it brings you back to a happier time. You can eat that food, relax, and get your equalibrium back!

Something you ate as a child that made you feel better about life.

For me it is pasta. I love it! I make it every Friday night!
I also like fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, tomato soup with grilled cheese, and CUPCAKES!
