For some people, images of a Sunday lunch of pot roast come to their minds when they think of comfort foods. The mouth-watering aroma of pot roast emerging from the oven has no equal. Lovingly basted slowly, time and effort are reflected by the finished product. Who can resist the memorable flavor of mixed juices of meat and vegetables that accompany the oven pan? The drippings serve as base for an out-of-this-world type of gravy.

The time it takes to make pot roast is but an ingredient of love in the cooking process. Family members gather around the dining room table to witness the ultimate representation of home cooking and loving. Everyone watches Dad carve out the first slices, and Granddad makes comments about how not to cut the meat. Rover the family dog waits for scraps and gets some if he is lucky. Now, that's real comfort food.

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.
