The Food I Love To single out one special food that really makes me smile is difficult for sure because so many are worthwhile. But there's a yummy list for me within a certain group; those comfort foods I need and crave, like extra creamy soup. And mac and cheese can make my day so filled with carbs and fat. My heart beats "oh, please think of me... my arteries filled with plaque." Oh, pizza...topped with sausage, cheese, stuffed crust and deep dish too; or bacon-wrapped hot dogs on rolls plus fries with barbeque. Those pasta dishes of all kinds heaped high with cheese and meat and lots of bread and butter too... a comfort food retreat. Grilled-cheese/tomato sandwich packed with bacon in the spread; the calories are off the chart... my doc would shake his head. But comfort food is simply that... it makes me feel so fine. I help to lessen all the harm... and drink heart-healthy wine! Sandra M. Haight ~8th Place~ Contest: I love Food Sponsor: Lewis Raynes Judged: 06/30/2016

Mrs Sandra, I know I read this. I can't believe I did not leave a comment. Congratulations on you placement in the contest. I think it's a wonderful poem deserving a higher grade but then again it's not my contest.

Great tribute to comfort food! I eat pretty healthy and drink only water, but chocolate and pasta are definitely faves!... and who doesn't love grilled cheese and tomato soup?!

Great choices. Good food to relish. But you are habituated to western dishes. If you could get a chance to taste Bengali food, You will never forget.

I am very sure Bengali food is awesome, Anisha. My neighbors are from India, and I have had the pleasure of enjoying their delicious food at outdoor functions several times. Not sure if it is the same as Bengali, though. My poem was just a fun write...I really do eat more healthy and wholesome foods. Thank you for your visit! Hugs, Sandra
