So to my self-taught-chef mind, “comfort food” basically means carbs. Rice, pasta, bread, etc. Comfort food is something that tastes good and weighs you down so you can get comfortable in front of the TV.
I generally avoid carbs, so something with carbs has to be really good. And for me, Jambalaya is it. I use chicken and sausage, since I’m allergic to shrimp. I don’t use okra since I don’t care for it. So maybe someone raised on it would not like mine, but I like mine, and my wife likes mine, so that’s all that matters. Also used to bring it into work (make like 4x the recipe) and everyone there loved it, too.
Jambalaya.
