What goes well with a Sunday lunch of pot roast? Home baked bread? Garden green salad? Family secret recipe of gravy? Fresh apple pie that follows the meal for desert? The answer is personal for the individual who is asked that question. No one would disagree that what defines comfort foods is good company with loved ones.

What gives comfort when one thinks of a certain meal? Is it the memory of aroma? Is it the stories that were told at the table? Is it the smiles that kids allow adults to see when they see the desert? Is it the flavor of the pot roast?

Whatever the thoughts, there is something about a dish that makes it comfort food. Every country, region, state, locality, city, and town has comfort foods. For the Andersons, it was the Sunday afternoon pot roast. What is yours?
