I find myself craving certain meals after an exceptionally long/stressful shift. None of it is ever healthy!! Tonight was one of those nights. It got me thinking... what comfort food do you crave after a difficult shift?
I'll go first.
I LOVE anything with syrup-- pancakes (especially with chocolate chips!!), waffles, and french toast. That syrup melts away all the stress of the day! My other big-time comfort meal is bacon, eggs, and fried tomatoes. I'm not quite sure why it's all breakfast food...
LOL Moogie. "Butty" is a word for sandwich mostly used in the North of England.It has nothing to do with...erm the posterior regions of human anatomy
I am glad you cleared that one up for me. Now, please tell Google!
Actually, I saw something on the Internet about a "chip butty". I do know that "chips" is the British term for "French fries" or, as some infamously called them a few years ago, "Freedom fries". Anyway, I found this picture....
I really can't decide if it looks tasty or unappetizing. (It's the ketchup with white bread that gets to me....)
Then again, some Americans eat this:
A deep fried bunless chicken breast sandwich with cheese does not exactly appeal to me, either. I guess I am a fussy eater...

ME TOO! hahah...my boyfriend always knows when I am in clinical because I whip out the pancake mix and mrs. buttersworth. I think last rotation I ate them 3 nights in a row..for supper! Now he makes sure our cupboard is stalked before I enter a rotation.
I'm a CNA and we pass nutrition drinks to some of the residents at the end of the day. I always go all out and make something for everyone, especially those who have had a weight loss. A lot of them LOVE "shakes" made with peanut butter and chocolate ice cream and by the time I get home I'm craving a shake for myself.
I also always want spinach pie. And coffee, but if I have to work the next day I can't drink it or I'll be up all night.
I wish i would start craving fresh fruits and veggies instead because my thighs are starting to rub together now

Chips are better than French fries. Chips are bigger and more chunky than French fries :)
I love to make my own and oven bake them in a little oil so less fattening and taste good. Yep butty is just another word for sandwhich, sarnie or whatever
Let's see...I have several favorites (although bear in mind I'm talking about when I get done with a long day of studying and preschooler parenting).
1. My homemade baked rigatoni, full of fresh herbs, mozzarella, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
2. Pizza with black olives, pepperoni, and extra cheese.
3. A wrap with deli chicken, mozzarella, onions, green peppers, all doused in tabasco.
4. Baked spicy chicken with pasta e olio.
So basically, give me spicy and carb-loaded and I'll be happy. Mmmmm...now I am so hungry!
Oh, I also tend to finish with a cup of Earl Grey (two sugars and a little sweet cream) - for some reason, that type of tea just helps me relax.

Hey, you Canadian and UK folks---speak English please!
(Just teasing---sorry---I could not resist!)
I know that "sarnie" is British slang for sandwich (all those years of watching Britcoms has paid off!) but what is a butty? I looked it up on Google and found some really interesting definitions that probably don't have a lot to do with food!
ETA: Thanks to MeganRN2B, I may never eat anything with portobello mushrooms again! Eeeeeuuuuuuuwwwwwwww!
