Perhaps that's why it's comforting? Reminds you of a simpler time, dad taking you out for ice cream on a summer day.

Also hearty food traditional to the culture(s) you exist in.

When I’m in the UK, bangers and mash. In Central Europe some cutlet and sauerkraut.

This is also because I ate it with my grandparents and they probably enjoyed it from the war when meat was scarce and it was hard to get food from other lands. Like you say, a simpler time.

There's twofood related experiences I want my kid to know me for:

1. Going out for icecream.

2. Pancakes at home on the weekend.

Of course, non-food related experiences I hope to add up to much more.
