Seriously , I do not understand why the craze over donuts recently, until I came across an article on comfort food.

"The term comfort food refers to a style of familiar, simple food or drink that is usually home-cooked, or consumed in informal restaurants.

Many people turn to comfort food for familiarity, emotional security, or special reward. The reasons a dish becomes a comfort food are diverse but often include pleasant associations of childhood. Small children often seem to latch on to a specific food or drink (in a way similar to a security blanket) and will repeatedly request it in high stress situations. Adults eat comfort food for a sense of continuity."



I guess the dough with a hole in the middle revives many of our childhood happiness and evokes our yearnings for such sweet innocence again.



I like Snoopy and Woodstock. Not that I really like the dog or its storyline, but I used to read them when I was in Primary school, and somehow it feels very comfortably nostalgic whenever I look at the beagle and his yellow-feathered friend. They remind me of the time when everything seems so happy.

So, what are some of your comfort food?
