EP43 favorite comfort food

菜SanSan
About this episode

I am from new York , and my favorite comfort food is grilled cheese , growing up as a  picky eater ,   (grilled cheese ) was  the number 1 thing  that I could  get from every single family member and every single restaurant .  And It be almost the exact same every single time .  It reminds me of being best friend with my mom . 

My favorite comfort food is congee , a type of  rice porridge , there are also many different types of  congee . And I’ve had it plain . with dried scallops ,with preserved egg and salted  pork, and just whitefish .growing up ,  my mother would make this for breakfast somedays ,and she will also make it for me when I was sick , and I couldn’t keep any solid  foods down . 

My favorite comfort food is Lahmajun,  it is a  thin flatbread  , almost like pizza , that’s (enjoyed in and ) around the middle east . It’s  typically made by taking  small dough balls  and flatting  them into really thin pieces , and them it’s topped  with beef or lamb , some vegetables ,and  spices , and then it cooked in oven for just a  few minutes . My family and I typically buy a dozen or so of them from Armenia bakeries or grocery stores  here in LA , because they make them  really tasty
