oyceterI think both my current mainlining of kdramas and actual, home-cooked Chinese food for Thanksgiving and Christmas have gotten me into an Asian comfort food kick.
Prior to that, I was on an American comfort food kick and craving mac and cheese, pie, casseroles, more pie, burgers, chocolate cream pie, corn dogs, and even more pie.
Currently, I have been eating a lot of ramen (my favorite is butter corn, sometimes sans butter); Chinese bentos with their wonderful sides of stir-fried cabbage, tea eggs, seaweed, and dofugan; zhajiangmien; garlicky pea shoots; chicken and salty fish fried rice; dumplings (pot stickers and boiled); and jook. I think if it weren't winter, I would also be craving pearl milk tea. Aaand now that I mention it, I want hot pearl milk tea and hot grass jelly, though all the places with hot grass jelly here aren't so great.
I also want but have not yet eaten: zhajiangmien, jjajangmyeon, Korean spicy tofu stew, bibimbap, onigiri and/or yaki onigiri, Japanese-style curry, my mom's spicy eggplant, beef noodle soup, onion pancakes, pa jun, okonomiyaki, tuna and corn crepes, pretty much any donburimono, and I wouldn't turn down pie either.
I keep meaning to write something about class and comfort food and race, but my brain is dead today. So instead, tell me what comfort food you have been craving lately!

Ice cream. Fries. The apple fritters my mom used to make me when it was cold out (apples and batter in a little deep fryer with her sitting at the kitchen table draining them on paper towels waiting for me). Bubble tea. Burgers with tomato and pickles. 'Fair' food, elephant ears with Missy Kylee. The way lamb in Ethiopian restaurants tastes.
