Comfort foods?

When I was contemplating my dinner for tonight, I decided on Indian--in fact it is sort of a ritual that I go to an Indian restaurant in every city I visit. And I must say that I had the best Indian meal I have ever had. I went to the Tamba Restaurant in Las Vegas for dinner and tried the Murgh Makhni, and it was the most delicious I have ever tasted.

Which brought up an interesting thought: Indian food is my favorite type of cuisine, one that traces back to the trips to Oman. In fact, it has almost become a comfort food to me.

Indian isn't the only one of course--I like the usual suspects too in chocolate and caramel. And coffee is a comfort smell.

But I think it is interesting because I think comfort foods and smells are some of the things rooted in our history.

Sooo... let's sound off. Does anyone else have comfort foods or guilty pleasures?

Oh yeah, and if anyone is interested, I found the recipe for Murgh Makhni here. I know the title sounds a little unappetizing, but you should give it a try!
