سندويتش يبعث الراحة
Explanation:
sometimes foods are consumed to bring comfort to the eater e.g. chocolates and rich/hot food. That's why they call these types 'comfort food'. Here they are playing on this meaning by preparing sandwiches that bring 'comfort' to the eater either by their fillings or their warmth. So, it's a borrowed term.

بالنسبة لما تقصدين عزيزتي السائلة، فإن المعنى المقصود من العبارة خاص بالثقافة الغربية، وعليه فالمقصود من هذه الشطائر أو السندوتشات تناولها عندما يكون الفرد في حالة حزن أو قلق أو هم ويريد التخفيف من حدة هذا الحزن أو الهم والخروج من هذا الإطار إلى جوٍ من السرور والراحة؛ ويعلم من ذلك أن المقصود بذلك هو "شطائر تبعث على الراحة والترضية والتخفيف"، أو "شطائر دفع الهموم أو القلق" أو "شطائر الترضية".
