★如果你尋求真理,你最後會找到安慰;如果你尋找安慰,你既得不到安慰也得不著真理,卻只啟開了諂媚之詞及如意算盤,到終了,只有絕望。--C.S. Lewis (translated by Catherine Yen)

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
C. S. Lewis

comfort food noun [C or U]
the type of food which people eat when they are sad or anxious, often sweet food or food that people ate as children

Food that is simply prepared and associated with a sense of home or contentment.



"......直到現在,肉鬆拌稀飯仍是我的「療癒食物」(comfort food),我只要身體有恙,就只想吃這一味。....." (以粥養生 韓良憶  (人間副刊.20070911)




Comfort food is an increasingly prominent concept in the twenty-first century. Indeed, as a consequence of the term's increased use in the English language (likely a response to increasingly stressful living conditions), the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary added "comfort food" to its list of 1997 entries, defining it as "food that comforts or affords solace; hence any food (frequently with a high sugar or carbohydrate content) that is associated with childhood or with home cooking." That same year Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary added "comfort food" to the tenth edition, defining it as "food prepared in a traditional style having a usually nostalgic or sentimental appeal." Comfort food may be best thought of as any food consumed by individuals, often during periods of stress, that evokes positive emotions and is associated with significant social relationships.
