Explanation:
The expression ´hofret´ is perhaps more common, but of course you can wash it down with a ´hofdrik´.

Google for examples
Comfort food, what Granny always used to serve, what you go for after a hard day's work... What you serve for unexpected guests or for a Saturday treat...
Could all be examples of a hofret.

The negative version - ´ikke min/hans/hendes hofret´ - can be used figuratively about an idea or something that has to be done, like it or not.

´Det er ikke hans hofret, men han finder sig i det.´
