Downer Food

[tennesseespice]

ice cream, ice cream, ice cream...wine, cheese....more ice cream

[reesek]

wine, parliaments, journal.

rinse & repeat. always repeat.

[PoetsGirl]

Steak, sauted mushrooms and oreo cookies.

Pop in a movie and try to focus on that; eat while your watching (and even cook while your watching) and and won't really realize how much your eating until your done.

It's sort of a force thing at first.

When I get real depressed, my appetite tends to vanish as well.

My version of comfort food, strangely, is an orange. Sitting on a comfy couch in blankets and eating a big navel orange always feels nice.

Bubur ayam (congee)

[jschyun]

Let's see, how about:

Ben & Jerry's anything, but esp. Cherries Garcia or Mint Chocolate Cookie

Girly movies like Bend it like Beckham or My Big Fat Greek Wedding

if girly movies unavailable then Lord of the Rings #2 or #3 or Matrix #2.

maybe a nice soft tofu dish (Korean restaurant)

or maybe a pizza, or some lasagna

definitely chocolate.

After eating all this junk, maybe I might haul my ass out of bed and go jogging or something. I want to test out johnnyb's exercise-undepression theory

The biggest porterhouse steak i can find rubbed in olive oil and canadian steak seasoning and cooked to medium rare. Then i top it with a blue cheese and cabernet wine sauce...Heavenly!!!

So, Pickles, what did you decide was unfit advice?

[Susan G]

Me, I drive to the nearest Asian deli and get a Peking duck with extra white rice...........something about the crispy skin and the succulent fat........I feel better for a few hours, at least! And if I eat it with a foul-mouthed, supportive friend, I feel better for the rest of the day!

We've all been in that hole. I'm sorry about your break-up. Hope you find something here helpful.

[petite tête de chou]

Pho, pho and more pho!

[RSincere]

spend the day eating nothing but cheetos and chocolate

OR, for PMS, Ben & Jerry's choc chip cookie dough.

[Sleepy_Dragon]

Some kind of Chinese noodle soup, udon soup, or pho. It's not for no reason that the stereotypical budget HK romance flick involves a heartbroken person trying to slurp up noodles in a noodle shop on a rainy day!

The other aspect of this is actually going out to get food. My cooking is often shot to hell when I'm feeling bummed, especially in the Too Much Salt department.

Definitely Congee. Just plain with some salt and a couple of umeboshi on the side.

The perfect "feel bad" meal for me.

Someone said he/she liked Kraft Mac and Cheese right from the pot...and I read it as right out of the BOX. SO...I said something like "some people like warm and creamy when they're depressed, and you like crunchy and powdery." See why I just left it blank? LOL!
