Favorite treats?

[Aztorak]

Hi everyone! I'm sure that many of you, like myself, have that one special treat that you gift yourself with when feeling down and out. When I'm in that state of mind I'll go out to my favorite Japanese restaurant and get a big udon-noodle soup bowl. That always calms my nerves

What are your favorite pick-me-up foods?

Interesting topic.

I find chicken soup a great pick-me-up, likewise a nourishing recipe for Japanese Hotpot by Allegra McEvedy which I'll post sometime. It's very easy to make.

lately I developed a pretty disgusting/tasty recipe:
very brown bread, possibly barley or something fancy, spread peanut butter, and pour over maple syrup and make it soak a bit - I know it's weird...

There's just something about a nice hot bowl of soup that makes it a great escape for a while. And that hotpot sounds like it's delicious!

Black licorice, with real liquorice extract.

And I thought my dad was weird because that was one of his favorites snacks.

Chocolate or Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Yumm!

I hate to say it, but beer. It doesn't even matter what kind, although if it is a treat I suppose something special would be nice. Or some other kind of alcoholic drink. Something to soothe my worried, sad or angry mind and chase the bad thoughts away.

There's not really anything specific that always serves as a pick-me-up for me, it really depends. But I like to go to a convenience store and browse for something that strikes my fancy. I'm not a regular coffee drinker, so oftentimes a mint mocha is a nice treat for me. =]

Same. I think it goes with the mood at the time of the much needed pick-me-up.

My favorite place : Rumah Makan Padang

It's really popular and can be found anywhere in Indonesia, dang.. now i'm hungry

Coconut Ice Cream or Coconut Frozen--I enjoy it and it takes my problems off my mind for at least a little while when I am indulging.

Noodles and Chinese food are yummy too. ^__^

Yummy, but I'd substitute the crackers with some really crusty sourdough bread!

Never put camembert in the fridge. El Pongo.
