What's one meal or dish from your childhood that still feels like a warm hug? Who made it?

A natural way to answer

For me it's the rice and beans my mum cooked on Sundays. It was simple food, but the whole family sat down together. Even now, eating it brings back that cosy, safe feeling and reminds me of home.
