Tamales are my comfort food...And I don't go to them...they come to me like magic:

Being Filipino and having lived in Guam, I'd say Pacific Asian food. Lots of pancit, pork based dishes, salty soups, yum. And incredibly difficult to find in PDX outside of occasional Hawaiian food. Any recs?

My grandmama's biscuits. They were constant at breakfast, lunch, and dinner in her house, with sausage or gravy in the morning, tomatoes at lunch, and just plain butter at dinner. Every summer when I find the first good beefsteak tomatoes, I make up a batch and have tomato-biscuit sandwiches. Hurry up with the tomatoes, farmers!

There are very many indeed, but one that will stay with me forever was a miraculous sausage sandwich that my mother fixed on one of my stints home from college. I've tried recreating it and failed, but describing it is easy: it was a spinach and feta sausage that she braised, pan-fried to crisp the casing, and then butterflied, and she served it on toasted Italian bread with mayo, tomatoes, fresh basil (you expected lettuce, right? but why not something a hundred times more flavorful?), and the kicker: an extraordinary artisanal thyme-apple jelly she procured from the farmers' market. One bite sold me; I've never attacked a sandwich with such alacrity. She made me a second one.

Pierogies. My mom made them for me once or twice a year when I was a kid, I try to pick them up once a month from the polish cart downtown

Please wait...
