Lesson. 2 Food for the Heart

Letters from Our Readers: My Comfort food 우리 독자들로부터 온 편지: 나에게 위안이 되는 음식

Comfort food is food that makes you feel good when you are sad, angry, or stressed out.

It can also make you think of happy moments from the past.

It satisfies not only the stomach but also the heart.

Comfort foods differ around the world.

Let’s see what comfort foods our international readers enjoy.

Jessica from USA

My comfort food is chicken soup.

In the USA, people eat this soup when they have a cold.

When I was a small child, I caught a very bad cold.

My father made me a bowl of chicken soup so that I could get well.

The hot soup warmed my body, and I slowly started to feel better.

It was also very tasty.

Now, when I catch a cold, I eat chicken soup.

Maria from Brazil

In Brazil, there are many dishes that are made with cassava, a vegetable similar to a potato.

I love cassava chips the most.

Once when I had a bad day at school and felt stressed out, my best friend bought me a bag of cassava chips.

When I started to eat the chips, my stress suddenly disappeared.

The crisp sound of eating chips made me feel better.

Now, every time I’m stressed out, I eat cassava chips.

Then I feel good again!

Simon from France

I have many comfort foods, but I love madeleines the most.

A madeleine is a small cake that looks like a sea shell.

People in France enjoy madeleines as an afternoon snack.

My grandmother always makes madeleines for me when I visit her.

They taste best when they come right out of the oven.

Then the kitchen is filled with a sweet smell.

I especially like eating her orange madeleines with a cup of tea.

Every time I see or smell madeleines, I think of my grandmother.

Let me share my grandmother’s special recipe with you so that you can make orange madeleines, too.

Maybe madeleines will become a comfort food for you!
