For me, it's kompe. It's a dish that's eaten in southern Norway, which consists of a little ball of salt pork surrounded by a potato dumpling. As the dumping is boiled, the flavor of the pork spreads through the potato, and it's a way to make a very poor meal feel like much more.

Most often eaten with butter, sugar, and lingonberry jam, I think the leftovers fried up on the second day are the best!

Porcupine meatballs. It's meatballs cooked in a tomato sauce (tomato soup basically). The meatballs are blended with uncooked rice that cooks while they boil. Besides takeout, this was probably the favourite dish of my siblings and I growing up.

Your question made me wonder, I actually had no idea. The recipe has a wiki. (i find it funny that a meatball has its own wiki)

They were a staple during the Great Depression requiring only a few basic ingredients: ground beef, uncooked long-grain rice, onion, and canned tomato soup.[1] The name comes from the appearance of the meatballs, which appear prickly when the rice pokes out of them as they cook, resembling a porcupine.[2]>

Instant ramen noodles are a childhood comfort food for me. My friend and I would make them at her house and we felt like we were expert chefs because we were using the stove, ha ha!

Mine would be pancit luglug from the Philippines. My dad would always buy it for me after Sunday mass. It came wrapped in a banana leaf and news paper and tied shut with plastic straw.
