In this very international group, and globalized world of ours, what are the comfort foods you go to in such a stressful situation? What do you gain from them? Limiting it to dishes you can cook at home now that delis and such are unavailable to most...

Pasta, olive oil, garlic, butter, any kind of spices, grated cheese.

We seldom go out to eat anyway, because although Mojacar has cafes and restaurants aplenty, they are tourist orientated and tend to serve "pork and chips" style offerings.
I can cook better food, especially steaks, at home than most of them offer.
So, in answer to your question, I don't eat anything different.

@Allamanda The thought of hospital food keeps me healthy!

Homemade grits and refried beans. I recently made my grits with a pretty salty organic beef stock, sounds weird but the grits were really good.

Red wine, cheese and chocolate 😃😃

Good grief. You can make wine and chocolate at home.

@Petter well, not so much wine, but I've been making my own whisky for years. The still is now repurposed to sanitiser 🙂

@Allamanda In Uganda it was the only way to get cheese. Sour milk was never wasted!!

@Cyklone Could you not repurpose only half of it? I hate to see good whisky not being poured down gullets.

@Petter well... 😄

In my area there are food banks for the poor, but at the end of the day they are sometimes left with things they had too much of even so. So the surpluses are put in boxes and distributed to the older people in the area. I count it seems, though only sixty three. Must be my sad face.

The trouble is that you usually get a lot of only a few things. This week it was onions dozens, just one carrot, sweet potatoes vast amount, chilly peppers and mushrooms. So day one was onion frittatas, day two vegetable curry, and today, chicken mushroom and sweet potato pie. I make up the recipes as I go, but they all turned out well. But what is really great, is that with the lock down there is time for experimental cooking, (thinks don't always turn out well ), and for making sure nothing goes to waste.

@Allamanda I like arugula much better than spinach in salads, egg dishes, etc.
