English term or phrase: "comfort foods"
Hello:

How would you translate into spanish "comfort foods"? The Context is a survey, where many questions surrounding eating habits are asked. One of the questions is: What are your "comfort foods"? I translated: ¿Cuáles de tus alimentos son un "capricho"?

Any other suggestions or do you agree?

thanks

"alimentos placenteros"


Explanation:
Manteniendo las comillas como en el original...

La "comida de capricho", los "platos favoritos" sea un ejemplo de ello, pero no abarcaría el sentido completo de "comfort". Por otra parte, "reconfortante" sonaría raro en español...

El nivel superior del triángulo es la parte más pequeña y está designada a «alimentos placenteros». Estas comidas, por lo general, son ricas en grasas y azúcar; por ejemplo, la golosina favorita del atleta, la comida rápida preferida, papitas de copetín, papas fritas, pasteles o masas. Estos alimentos deberían consumirse con moderación y deberían representar la parte más pequeña de la dieta.

alimentos de consuelo


Explanation:

Hay algunas definiciones equivocadas por allí - comfort food, aunque a veces puede ser la "comida que hacía la mamá" no es necesariamente comida tradicional como algunos malinterpretan. Es más frecuente que sea la tableta de chocolate de la foto en este enlace - o helado etc etc.
