Ultimate comfort food in these trying times

[Milliepede]

Only once ever tasted a baked bean - when I was a child, one turned up - well, with rather a lot of its friends

Oh boy that part really made me laugh out loud - thanks for that ThrelfallYorky

Deep fried chicken, dauphinois potatoes, peas and sweet corn 🌽

Sweet corn?  That reminds me of 1968 when my English aunt visited us and refused to eat corn freshly harvested from our vegetable garden. She was appalled at the idea - animal food.

We call it corn on the cob, the corn kernels, stripped and frozen, is sweet corn.

That's what we call it, too.  Andean choclo isn't bad but it can't compare to North American sweet corn, straight from the garden to the pot.

Ooo! Send us some....please, love it barbecued and buttered

I just had choclo for supper in the form of 'sancocho,' a type of soup defined by having large chunks of yuca and cut up choclo cobs along with peas and carrots and some kind of meat or fish [it was chicken tonight; spare parts - backs, necks and feet].  Yummy.

Here is Australia, I have a couple of Polish friends who were horrified at the idea that we eat pumpkins! Apparently pumpkins are just for the pigs over there. 

Pumpkin soup - there's a nice comfort food.

If you like pumpkin soup, you'll love Ecuadorian locro de zapallo.  It's a great comfort food and, in fact, I've got it on the menu for tomorrow.
