TermCoord:
Certain foods provide a sentimental effect when they are consumed. Comfort foods make us feel good because of the meaning that we give them. We associate dishes with a family member, a significant person, a suggestive moment that we lived, and we tend to “use” food to find the scent of this or that experience again. Comfort food is linked to a personal feeling but also a cultural and historical one. It depends on the ingredients and the habits that we grew up with, in a specific country at a particular historical moment; it shapes our identity.
Example sentences:
But digging into comfort foods all winter — like a savory beef stew, spicy spaghetti and meatballs, macaroni and cheese, fluffy pancakes, gooey pizza, or buttery mashed potatoes — comes with health risks. (Health Harvard)
While it would be presumptuous to award pizza the prize of being America’s number one comfort food without an appropriate census count, pizza being on a shortlist of America’s favorite foods would not be a shocking discovery. (Giordano's)
Binge eating on comfort food can therefore indicate other issues that are physical, psychological, and indicative of depression and past trauma. (Desert Hope)

Definition from
own experience or research:
Hrana za dušu je hrana koja je povezana s našim djetinjstvom i koja nam, dok je jedemo, daje osjećaj sigurnosti i pripadanja.
Example sentences:
Postoje okusi i mirisi koji nas brzinom svjetlosti vraćaju u djetinjstvo, okusi i mirisi koji su toliko poznati da ti odmah bude toplo oko srca, a i želudac se javi pa prede, lagano tražeći svoje. To je ono što se moderno naziva «comfort food». Kod nas bi se narodski reklo «hrana za dušu». (Njama njama po svijetu)

Hrana za utjehu ili ‘comfort food’ nije, kako bi se na prvu moglo pomisliti, brza ili ‘junk’ hrana, nego ona koja je povezana s našim djetinjstvom i koja nam, dok je jedemo, daje osjećaj sigurnosti i pripadanja.
