Healing food

Fish and chips.

Purple sprouting and gravy with anything!

Steak & kidney pudding

Home made chicken and vegetable broth. Works absolute wonders for me. DH can't stand it so he sticks to whisky toddy, too!

My poorly meal is scrambled eggs on toast . When I was having chemo it was potato and swede mashed together with lots of gravy .

Boiled eggs!

Cheese on toast as that all DH offers!!

Tomato soup with granary bread toast.

mashed potato with lots of butter and occasionally, cheese (well ok then, not occasionally, it's a must, as is loads of lurpak)

Iam64 - that's my comfort food as well. If I'm feeling tired or not too well I use Smash and ready grated cheese, but for me it's Flora.

Heinz chicken soup, crusty bread with proper butter :-))

Spaghetti hoops on toast

Or, Heinz tomato soup with toast and lashings of salty butter.

Both of those Galen but must have a good sprinkling of black pepper.

Oh no, not salty butter. Love unsalted

Hot Ribena if I have cold, strange as I can't stand blackcurrant cordial at any other time. Oh and kitty I think we may be married to the same man!

A mug of Bovril with some crusty bread (no butter)

Grannyqueenie have you tried the Ribena Winter Spice limited edition> It's fabulous for making you feel better - I'm currently nursing a chest infection and have a big glass beside me right now - has to be hot of course, but it is lovely and very comforting! Have only found it in Sainsburys round here. That apart I tend to want buttered wholemeal toast if I'm poorly - my mum used to give me that as a child if I wasn't well and had to stay in bed!

Boiled egg and toast or tomato soup (but it has to be Heinz).

Digestives and Weetabix.

What my mum called Baby Egg: this was simply a piece of bread and butter cut into squares and then mixed with a chopped up soft boiled egg.

And I know I'm not feeling well when I crave chicken soup, which I'll then have with a roll and butter.

Egg custard, if I'm really ill. Nice and warm - microwave is quickest.

Or semolina or rice pudding, warm, soft and sweet, whatever it is.

My poorly food follows in the footsteps of my mother and nan, crab or smoked salmon sandwiches, plus for me it's homemade chicken broth, or hot marmite drink and dry crackers. For a cold it's hot lemon, honey and a nip of whisky (supermarkets own).
