Comfort foods are characterized by memories. Family gatherings and holidays are prime examples of that. Aunt Janie and her casserole, Uncle Bill and his roast beast, and cousin Beth and her dinner roll recipe all bring back good memories. Every family has such memories.

Comfort food is something that evolves with each family, generation after generation. It is almost like a surname. It is as reverent as the family seal. It is like an heirloom. It brings history.

How many dishes does a family have as comfort food? That varies. Ask Aunt Janie, Uncle Bill, and cousin Beth. With each mention of a dish, they will have a story to tell. That is what make them comfort foods.
