Bisnaguinha Seven Boys = Comfort Food

A Wikipedia define Comfort Food como:

The term comfort food refers to any food or drink to which one habitually turns for temporary respite, security, or special reward. The reasons that something becomes a comfort food are diverse but include the food's familiarity, simplicity, and/or pleasant associations. Small children often seem to latch on to a specific food or drink (in a way similar to a security blanket) and will repeatedly request it in high stress situations. Adults, however, are certainly not exempt.

A substantial majority of comfort foods are composed largely of simple or complex carbohydrate, such as sugar, rice, refined wheat, and so on. It has been postulated that such foods induce an opiate-like effect in the brain, which may account for their soothing nature.

Ou seja, comfort food seria aquela comida que, ao ser ingerida, dá uma sensação agradável de segurança e prazer. Carboidratos são, geralmente, considerados nessa categoria, assim como chocolate e doces em geral. Foi assim que eu cheguei a conclusão de que, para mim, a bisnaguinha Seven Boys é uma comfort food total. É simples, docinha, carboidrato total, cheira e tem gosto de infância. Uma maravilha. Bisnaguinha com nescau então, nem se fala...
