Synopsis
Comfort food has been around forever despite the notion that the moniker arose in the mid 1960s in a Florida newspaper article. Any food that makes the eater feel better fits the bill. The sensation varies with the beholder, and all are equally justifiable. The defining quality may be texture, taste, aroma, appearance, nostalgia, pain relief, history, family, utility, culture, or mythology. The purpose of these comparisons? To make the simple point that the number of foods qualified to be called comfort foods, are enormous. Any collection cannot be comprehensive. The objective of this book is to inform, entertain, and demonstrate how culture-dependent all edibles are in a few hundred or so examples.
