Your favorite, secret (not for long), comfort food!

Oh my. Reading this thread makes me greedy for every second thing that's mentioned ::).
David, your biscuits look similar to scones in GB. Oh, I love the British tea time: tea with milk, scones and clotted cream. In Germany nobody drinks tea with milk, that's why I didn't like tea before I learned how to do it right in England ;D.

anything made out of sweet potatoes

Oh. Oooh. Oooooooohhhhh. I only had sweet potatoes once in my life. It was sweet potatoe fries and I had it when Lee and I stopped for lunch on our way to Estes Park. I was and still am enthusiastic about it. I would so love to eat it again and to try other things made of sweet potatoes. You can't get sweet potatoes in Germany (well, I guess in specialized delicacy shops in bigger cities you will get them, but not around here).
*sigh* I would like to eat them right now. Hey, that's another reason to go back next year (as if I needed more reasons... ;)).

They are made of caramelized sugar syrup and barley malt and they have indeed a very particular flavor. I know only few people who like it. That's one of the best things about them: my children and husband don't like them ;D.
Oh yes, the marshmellows. I had one of the best things I ever ate on that trip: sweet potatoe fries ( :D), and one of the worst things: grilled marshmellows ( :P). But we had a good laugh about it, didn't we? :laugh:

Hi Chrissi!
Yes, Alex (my British boyfriend) says British scones and American biscuits are very similar, except we don't put currants in ours. Our biscuits are baked with nothing inside of them. But many people will split them open and add butter to them when served as a side dish during supper time. :)
David In Indy:
We've been talking about scones, and now Alex wants me to try kippers for breakfast sometime soon!
He said I should try it as a comfort food.
uhhhhh............ huh-uh! I don't think so! :P :P
What do ya'll think? Should I try it? Would you try it?
Well, maybe. God, what we won't do for love! :laugh:
I don't even know if we can buy kippers in Indiana. Maybe I'll be saved by the bell at the last minute. :laugh:
Ellemeno:
Being startled and slightly freaked out by that kippers picture made me want to post that dog picture to "get you back," David, but that would be too cruel to you and everyone else reading. :)
