Comfort Food to Keep Your Mind Off of the Cold Front

If South Africans had their way... the sun would be out all the time, the temperature would never dip below 20°C, and nothing stronger than a breeze would blow through the trees.

You don’t have to be a psychologist to recognise the negative effect cold fronts have on most people. An unexpected bout of bad weather, especially during the weekend, is enough to dampen even the brightest optimist’s mood.

If there was ever an appropriate time to indulge in some comfort eating, it’s when the entire country is wrapped in a grey fog that’s accompanied by less than desirable temperatures. But why settle for a mundane hot drink and bland chocolate chip cookies when you can spoil yourself with something far tastier? Cold weather calls for a warm cup of premium blend coffee, so it’s safe to assume that’s what you’re going to be drinking. But what are you going to pair your coffee with? Fortunately for you, there are a few options, all of which can be ordered at a Wimpy near you. Here are a few sweet treats to pair with that cup of coffee from your local Wimpy.

Famous Wimpy Coffee & Muffin Combo

It doesn’t get more classic than a coffee and muffin combo. What’s better than a delicious muffin and a premium blend on a cold morning? If you’re in the mood for something fruity, order the Blueberry Cream Cheese muffin. If your preference is skewed towards something a bit more coffee-like, the Cappuccino Milky Bar is your best bet.

Wimpy Single or Double Espresso & 3 Flippin’ Flapjacks with Golden Syrup

The aroma of a plate of flapjacks wafting through a room is enough to make anyone run to the table. Pour over some golden syrup and you have the makings of a breakfast worth getting out of bed for. Serve with cream or Snowfreeze™ and you’ve officially entered ‘best breakfast’ territory. Pair it with a cup of pure, undiluted coffee to offset the sweetness, and enjoy.

Wimpy Cappuccino & Plain Waffles

Plain isn’t synonymous with bland. Anyone who has had the pleasure of sinking their teeth into a plain waffle with nothing but cream or Snowfreeze™ knows that sometimes simpler is better. If you’re looking for something to boost your meal’s flavour profile, pair your waffles with a cappuccino. A well-made cappuccino is bursting with bold flavour and texture. While it has a bit of a bitter coffee taste, there is some sweetness from the naturally occurring lactose sugar found in the milk.

Cold fronts aren’t anyone’s idea of good weather. And while you can’t make them go away any quicker, you can indulge in some comfort food to take your mind off the gloomy sight of an overcast sky.
