Poorly food

Bread, sugar and warm milk.

I didn't really like it much.

Beef broth, that was better.
Then plaice cooked in milk with mashed potato when I felt a bit better.

Chicken noodle or cream of tomato soup, Bovril, and Lucozade (of course).

And for a sore throat, butter and sugar with vinegar. Sounds awful but wasn’t. I suppose it was actually deconstructed toffee.

Anything was better than Slippery Elm or Parrish's Food- Yuk.

I used to love soft boiled eggs, mashed up with bread and butter.
Oh, and the Calves foot jelly! Mum was so cross with me when I wouldn't eat it as a teenager, after my aunt presented me with a jar, at my bedside.

Frequent bouts of tonsillitis and the best food was beef paste sandwiches cut into fingers with the crusts cut off. Always served with a book to read which led to a lifetimes bad habit of needing to eat whilst reading.

Lucozade was only bought if we were ill.
Probably did us more harm than good.

Advacaat, but it had to be Warnicks, and My parents used to give me an eggcup full after each dose of horrible tasting medicine!
As I got older, it became freshly made Egg nogg, two whisked up raw eggs, sweetened with honey, and topped up with full cream milk, and finished with a splash of Sherry! It tasted quite nice, as long as you remembered to pass it through a sieve first to remove any lumpy bits left behind from the raw egg!

I don’t remember what my poorly food was but my kids still remember what I gave them
Chicken noodle soup and lucozade

Another bread and milk.......yuk! ?

Yes. What was the thinking behind the cornflour cure?

(Talking of upset tummies - remember kaolin and morph? You can't get it with the 'morph' any more ! but it worked).

I'm with rockgran. My mother always gave me cornflour for an upset tummy. I always gave it to my children too.

I was often ill as a child, my farmer dad would come in and especially bring me bovril and Jacobs cream crackers up to my bed to chat. I really hate bovril!

Although----I could just eat some pigs trotters with salt and vinegar

Pea and ham soup, chicken soup, eggs mashed up in the cup with butter (yum) scrambled eggs with baked beans.
Bits of bread were added to the soup, called ’pobs’.

Dad used to have a pan of tripe and onions.

We also had the dreaded calves foot jelly too.

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

Cornflour - sweet white sauce. Mum always made me a bed on the couch with a little quilt.

Bread and milk here too my mum would break up white bread and pour hot milk over and sprinkle sugar on it. ?

The chopped up eggs in a cup was called coddled eggs at home and that was our poorly food, with soldiers.

What gets me on the road to recovery should the need arise, is porridge.

Soft boiled eggs in a cup was my ‘poorly’ food as well. My OH thinks it is disgusting

Bread and milk! (Just the thought makes me feel ill now).

I am going to the Dentist tomorrow.I hope I don't need poorly food after my visit as I can't think of anything I would want to eat. I will definitely avoid nuts though as that is what broke my tooth in the first place!

Heinz tomato soup and the original luzozade.... yes the orange stuff but there’s nothing like it for me if I’m feeling poorly and off my food.

If I had been to the dentist and had any dental treatment it had to be Baxter’s pea and ham soup.
If l was poorly off of school l would have a piece of lightly fried bread and a fried egg on top with a splodge of ketchup.

if poorly as a child mashed potato with a soft boiled egg chopped on top of it,,,,,,, also bread and milk as a small child.

recently had a tooth out but didn't eat sloppy food as needed to eat the other side keeping clear of the wound! had a cheese sandwich after 3 hours!
