My comfort food in the Czech Republic

I am out of my element. I do not belong in the Czech Republic and yet I am here. I do not know all of the food that is in the store. Some things are just downright outrageous to think about eating such things. I don't have a vast array of things to choose from like I do in Canada. I am okay with all of this, though I do miss certain tastes and things that are from my home country. Places are also something that I miss. Like Tim Horton's, if I have loose change and a friend handy, this is one of my favourite places to go. I don't have that here. One thing that I have found however is something that not everyone likes. I personally used to hate them, but developed a taste for them over the last 5 years or so. With this said I haven't gone out of my way to buy them for myself until I was dating over a year ago, I still buy these every now and then. However mushrooms are found to be a comfort food when I am out of my home land. I bought some a couple of weeks ago for the first time since I have been in the Czech Republic. I just thought that nice fresh mushrooms would be nice to have with a chicken meal, potatoes and some brussel sprouts. I pan fried then and couldn't wait to eat them. The instant I started to chew this fungal veggie I was so comforted. I have never felt that way before. It was a bazaar feeling but I will not trade it for anything. Next week mushrooms will be had again. Mmmmmmmm!
