Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Jambalaya.

So to my self-taught-chef mind, "comfort food" basically means carbs. Rice, pasta, bread, etc. Comfort food is something that tastes good and weighs you down so you can get comfortable in front of the TV.

I generally avoid carbs, so something with carbs has to be really good. And for me, Jambalaya is it. I use chicken and sausage, since I'm allergic to shrimp. I don't use okra since I don't care for it. So maybe someone raised on it would not like mine, but I like mine, and my wife likes mine, so that's all that matters. Also used to bring it into work (make like 4x the recipe) and everyone there loved it, too.
