Comfort foods

What are comfort foods? Why do we need them and are they always the same? It seems as if there are times when we crave certain foods that make us feel better about ourselves, I know I do, but sometimes, I just can't put a finger on what it is that makes it so comforty. Any ideas?

Depends on the comfort required at the time. For instance, in years past when out all night drinking, the occasional resultant hangover causes me to crave a greasy burger and fries (although that sometimes conflicts with the desire to operate a motor vehicle). I don't normally have that craving, but the grease provides comfort to the angry hangover tummy. And I know others that have similar hangover comforts.
