    As a Cincinnati native, I am proud Cincinnati Chile is featured here. Except, I’m pretty sure that’s a 5-Way because it has onions and beans. A three-way is spaghetti noodles, chili, and cheese :)

    I will have to go with “Pisang Goreng” (fried banana) and a mug of “Kopi Tubruk” (thick coarse ground coffee) as it is the only one I can eat!

    Oh, I’m a Midwestern US of A girl through and through when it comes to my comfort food choices! Mashed potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, cheeseburger and fries, chili, cream of mushroom soup with chicken in the crockpot with potatoes, a good meatloaf or hamloaf, beef stroganoff… YUM. Pretty much anything meaty, carby, and most importantly creamy does it for me!
