stodge
Filling British grub
Stodge is heavy, filling food that sits in the stomach—the kind of substantial fare that leaves you sluggish: After all that stodge, I need a nap.
British in origin and usage, it suggests comfort food that prioritizes heft over refinement: stews, puddings, thick breads.
The adjective stodgy extends to anything heavy and dull: stodgy prose, a stodgy bureaucracy.
