East coast (Mid Atlantic state) vanilla cream filled donuts (or Long Johns). I don't mean Boston cream or other custard stuff. I'm talking vanilla whipped cream sweetened with lots of confectioner's sugar. I prefer the ones dusted with confectioner's sugar, but will eat the ones iced with chocolate, if they are the only ones left. [I prefer vanilla.] As for savory foods, a good meatloaf with mashed potatoes. I like meatloaf with an array of condiments (mustard, catsup, India relish, lingonberry preserves, and my great great grandmother's chili sauce).

Q: What is a comforting thing you do, when comfort is needed? Something other than eating.
