Poorly food

Mashed egg in a cup for me. Somehow mum saying I'll go and make you egg in a cup was like a big warm hug. I must have been a terrible mother when mine were young as I never gave it to my children.

umm Heinz tomato soup, also egg mash - egg mashed into potato, my dad used to it for me, i can never get it the same as he did and if i was on the road to recovery my mums mince pie, mash and carrot and turnip and lucozade was always on hand.

Scotch broth or Tomato soup with bread and Lucozade. Sat on settee with old army blankets loved the attention from a very busy mum.
Hope you are feeling better now you are home Marydoll.

Dippy eggs as we called them, 2 soft boiled eggs with soldiers.Or chicken soup with soft crusty bread.

Whipped up egg whites with warm milk and sugar.. I absolutely hated it.

Bread and hot milk. I still have it now sometimes.
It must be white bread, broken into pieces, then the hot milk poured over it, and plenty of sugar. So comforting.

Tomato soup and lucozade, neither of which I can stand now - I wonder why?!

Another one for Heinz tomato soup and Lucozade !
Also a boiled egg and soldiers, along with rice pudding!
Upset stomach? Toast was the thing, washed down with tonic water (cheaper than Lucozade that seemed to disappear off the shop shelves and only available from chemists for some reason)
To this day, toast is my go to comfort food, along with fish fingers, mashed potatoes and peas!

Heinz Tomato soup and bread and butter ( thickly spread!). Got to be Heinz!

Poached egg on poached smoked haddock.

Cream of chicken soup with slices of white bread torn up and mushed into it.

When I had an evil tropical tummy bug, the experienced doctor said I must not have milky drinks (OK by me - I dislike milk), dairy products and eggs. In other words, avoid proteins. I lived on white bread and honey for a few weeks and in the intervening 50 years have always relied on this diet when afflicted with 'winter vomiting' and the like. When we were little, Granny used to bring us her remedy, 'Bovril paste' - hard-boiled egg mashed up with Bovril - for everything including flu, measles, whooping cough and chickenpox! I liked it though I think my sisters had other ideas.

Lucozade. Wonderful stuff.

If my children had a tummy upset, the first food they would have when recovering was "Fairy Bread" - white bread with crusts off, buttered and covered in sprinkles cake decorations. Then cut into tiny triangles - they loved it! But you had to time it very carefully so that it was not given too soon and simply thrown up!

I am struggling with all this egg in other people's posts - I hate egg - it makes me really nauseous and the idea of eating it mushed up in a cup is triggering my gag reflex - yuk!!

When I was a child it was bread and milk, now its helices with a droopy brandy in it.

My dh’s ‘poorly food’ was scrambled eggs and mashed potato.

I don’t recall any such thing in my family. I was evidently a deprived child!

He made it under my orders tutelage! I've got to say, it was delicious.

Tinned tomato soup and wholemeal bread. Granny used to give me calves foot jelly from a jar. It was yummy.

Mary did MrD make scotch broth for you? What an absolute diamond!

Mine was my mum's home made Scotch broth, strained through a sieve, along with a slice of Scottish plain bread.
Guess what I had the other day after I came home from hospital? Not my mum's of course! ?

Grandma11 advocaat! That's a cracker

Bread and milk here, too. Although that was also what the dog got if we ran out of dog food!

We used to give it to baby guinea pigs. (Guinea piglets?)
Mine is Heinz lentil soup with cubes of mild cheddar and chunks of bread and butter all mixed together. Yum.

I wish that I knew what DH's was!
I'm sick of trying to guess what he wants to eat

My mother had her trusty Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management to consult which has a section on food for invalids.

I don’t remember any ‘poorly food’ when I was a child but my boys used to have oranges, lucozade and milk pudding (usually semolina).

Bread and milk definitely! Also a bouillon cube in boiling water to which small squares of buttered toast, fried diced onion and pieces of cheese were added - the cheese melted, it sounds horrific but it was delicious specially when eaten in front of a roaring fire with the wind howling outside!
