comfort food

GBK English to Catalan Medical Psychology
Definition from 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)

aliment reconfortant

Crec que segons el context es pot fer servir menjar reconfornat o aliment reconfortant. En principi jo sempre optaria per aliment, si més no, en textos més formals, sobretot perquè és el terme acceptat per l'optimot.
Entenc que l'ús de la llengua i el cos lingüístic regulador del català no sempre coincideixen, i per això crec que també s'ha de poder utilitzar "menjar" en textos i blogs més col·loquials, o "plat reconfortant" com per exemple quan es parla del xef X famós per preparar "plats reconfortants".
Definition from Optimot:
Aliment que proporciona una sensació de benestar i confort, i que sovint està associat a un record agradable.<br /><br />Tret de l&#039;Pptimot
Example sentences:
"... aquests mateixos aliments reconfortants provoquen una sobreproducció d'insulina..." Del llibre: Diet Coach, El teu entrenador personal per seguir qualsevol dieta, de Kimberly Willis. Editat per Rosa dels Vents (Diet Coach )
"Tal com explico al meu llibre Totes les sopes, aquest aliment reconfortant, a base d'aigua o brou, és segurament el més antic de la història." De l'article: Antic i reconfortant, del diari Regió 7, autor: Jaume Fàbrega (Regió7.cat)
