Comfort food for discomforting times

- It's not one of the five basic food groups, but if it were, "comfort food" would be the most popular right now. Correspondent Mo Rocca talks with food writer and TV host Samin Nosrat, and with Anna Boiardi - grandniece of THE Chef Boyardee - to find out why, for many people, eating familiar foods (or anything covered in cheese) is like a warm hug. And yes, in a time of stay-at-home orders, good old-fashioned baking in the oven is hot!

For emotional eaters, this really hits home. Great story.
Chef Boyardee or Speghettios were never found in my house growing up. Nope. My mom made everything from scratch. I guess this is why I'm baking for comfort during the pandemic. Lots of pasta dishes, biscuits, stews, roasts, and stuff like that. I even made pancakes yesterday from scratch. I hope you all are locked down with a chef or an old fashioned mom.
Damn! You had it rough.
@@Javmon9 Just the opposite. My mom was a great cook.
@@paull.rogers4562 No sense of humor?!? Also, my guess was that your mom was a housewife had time to be a scratch cook. My mom was a teacher and occasionally leaned on boxed Mac n Cheese, etc.,--and I wouldn't have changed a thing. She touched so many lives that she was invited to attend one of my high school reunions.
When you get older and you realize the things you’re mom bought for you as a kid are cheaper than regular meals and still taste as good in a pandemic it feels good to feel like a kid again. I just bought 3 Tonys pizzas and i feel like I’m 9 again
Mr. Mo Rocca himself would be comfort food to SO MANY people... xoxo
Thanks for the giggles! This was a fun episode! Chef Boyardee, one of those things on the pantry shelf for times like these. Thanks Mo. Always informative while entertaining.
When my mom was a little girl during WWII, several certain food items were rationed. Some of her relatives, as well as my paternal grandmother, planted victory gardens.
Some the age of your mom were starving for 6 years and people were still on stamps for years after the war. Hence their hate for any waste of food, or waste of any kind for the matter. They gave us useful lessons for present time and times to come.
ConAgra owns Chef Boyardee so unless his grandniece (who appears to be holding some little kid hostage) works for the ConAgra PR department, she has no connection to the products. And if Chef Boyardee was alive today, if he opened up a can of spaghetti and tasted it he’d probably say, “Yuck...this is going out under my name? And I used to be head chef at the Plaza Hotel!” His grandniece must have been hungry for camera time.
I wonder if they're making any money off of that now?
I concur...
If I am ever forced to eat American cheese ever again, shoot me now...
Reminds me of my childhood comfort food.
This feels like a rebrand ad for brands that people are buying because they can't afford fresher food right now. It's not comfort food it's compromising for the budget.
In my 28 years of married life, I've never cooked this much. I ask my husband, "You want me to make lemon bars?, You like them, right? I have a recipe I'd like to try". To which he begs me to please.stop.cooking.
Me, too! Except my husband doesn't want me to stop cooking!
😂😂😂 the food must be nasty if he is politely asking you to stop.
I find myself graving comfort foods during this pandemic! Italian food!
Please reread your comment! Grave and pandemic are not great words to use together........
@@mrbear1302 Pretty sure she meant to say "crave."
@@roberthenleynola please look up the word sarcasm and then reread my comment.
Farmer's markets have online order and scheduling for pickup now. We are also planting vegetables. We have vegan recipes to try and are making cookies.
Pre-COVID 19 pandemic, I ate out ALL THE TIME. Now, I am at home, preparing my meals and cooking up a storm. I'm gonna miss all this free time I have trying new recipes in the kitchen, once we go back to normal.
Up until now I never knew chef Boyardee was a real person. Interesting!
Comfort food makes me think about my family and children. I call my dad about cooking different dishes from our home country.#FOODANDFAMILY
Plasticky is the perfect word 😂
I love chef boyardee. I have memories of Franco- American spaghetti-O's, but ever since they sold to Campbell's, they're not the same.
For an increasingly discomforting waistline...
I live in Portland at I go to a couple of the different Fred Myers far to often! 😁😁😬
Too depressing there, 3 months its ok. I escaped.
During this quarantine I've made cinnamon rolls, bread rolls, and pizza. I went to the store to buy some yeast but they're all sold out everywhere. Everyone's been making bread lately.
Shortage of wheat in every store where i live !
Argghh! that stuff is awful. Dad bought a whole case of Beef-a-Roni in the 50's. We had to eat it all summer for lunch! We hated it as kids-- It was crap then and still is!
with now fake surger in owe kids don't eat any longer
Awsome Video
That will certainly not build up your immune system, which is what is needed to get through this crisis. Very sad.
Pre-pandemic: I hate to cook!
During pandemic: I need more ingredients!
🙏... Thank you... 🙏...
I have to say my all-time favorite comfort food is Twinkies or any other hostess products
A real southern mac and cheese, but with jalapeno juice. Delicious
Nice story
Not vee-enna...its vi-enna 🤣🤣😂
In Austria the natives pronounce it somewhat like "ween". Accept regional differences.
We have time to cook... normally is work! work! work!
My mom and I have been craving mustard Deviled Ham sandwiches !!Dont 4 get the pickles!!Spam and eggs!!🤗🤗
Processed food....Don't eat it.
Wonder what the stats are for children who aren't getting life sustaining food during a pandemic??
Comfort is a crockpot!
Guys, now's the best time to reduce that waist size!
Haven't changed my eating habits too much, just eating a snack sized bag of chips a day. I'm usually not a big chip eater.
Depressed? Here, just keep eating.
I blame walking dead for teaching me what to hoard for apocalypse.
CLOSED CAPTIONING PLEASE!!! On TH-cam and CBS All Access
Death to the deaf. But don't tell them.
Stay healthy by consuming the most fattening foods ,mass quantities of alcohol and avoiding sunlight/ fresh air.
People arent buying it as comfort food. They are buying canned food for shelf stability. God damn people are naive.

It not only gets you out of your head, kneading some bread dough keeps you from strangling someone when you’re stuck at home with them 24/7. Just sayin’.
Processed is never comforting. My mother never had time to cook growing up and we still couldn’t stand the having canned stuff together.
You mean Vaye eena sausage?
This story has made me URP! I do like spaghettios though...sometimes American cheese. I am cooking real food, not eating crap.
Georgia is WIDE OPEN....Restaurants...shops....mom and pops...are as busy as Walmart..and Home Depot have been...Churches open this Sunday....
So this woman speaks like she knows how her ancestors made this product. The reality is: Ms. Boyardee and her cute son live on a trust fund.
People are buying canned goods for their zombie bunkers
Why is the 13 year old sitting on his mother’s lap?
Because he loves her and there on live stream together.
because the current generation of parents and children are soft
@@sumobowler3790 thank god
Guilty
Sorry CBS, gotta call you out on this poorly reported story. I usually enjoy if not always agree with the commentary but this one had so little fact to back the emotional doomsday pitch. Was 30 minutes spent writing/editing this copy? Or were there too many opinions in the conference room to make a coherent and rational story. Hated, yes despised, the last and most fear mongering line.
Come on I know that as a collective group you can do better. I'll chalk this one up as your "Mulligan"! Please I beg you to pull yourselves up to the higher standard of calm, rational, inspirational reporting of even tough or darker subjects. I know you can do it!
