What is your favourite poorly food?

Whenever I am unwell (ill), the only thing I wish to have is toast with marmalade and a large mug of tea.

As I get better I then go onto comfort foods, sausage and mash being a favourite.

I normally only have home-made soups, but - again, when unwell crave packet chicken noodle soup.

I normally love eggs in mos forms, boiled and poached being favourites. When I was a child my Mum would make me mashed potatoes and break a soft boiled egg over them, Yummy!!!!!

Chicken soup, plain yogurt or toast for me.

Tinned cream of tomato soup, macaroni cheese.

No eggs, I really dislike them, as for runny yokes, yuk,yuk, yuk.

Mashed potato and gravy. My husband has become an ace it making it just right for me, when needed!

Semolina. Quick to make, sweet, creamy and comforting.

Trifle.
Jam and butter on soft baps with sweet tea.

Cheese sandwich in white bread.

Funny how so many of us crave white bread when we’re off colour. Probably most of us eat brown or granary normally. I normally love seeded brown bread.

Scotch broth soup liquidised with Scottish plain loaf bread.

Have to agree with the chicken soup fans. Homemade chicken broth is my go to when I feel even a teeny bit under the weather. Soul food.

In our family cheese and potato pie is called ‘illness dinner’. It’s just mashed potato with added cheese, popped under the grill. Served with peas, and ketchup if you fancy it, it’s very soothing.

Ginger ale when ill. Toast or ginger biscuits when recuperating.

When I was a child, it was bread and warm milk.

Heinz tomato soup and boiled eggs,

If I'm poorly can't cook/digest well so...there are some lovely tinned soups these days. Have a stock in and it's a mix of brands. Just open and microwave.

Also very digestible are good quality tinned fruits in fruit juice I like them with coconut yoghurt a new find.

Soft brioche bread is easier to go down than some other breads.

Agree about the flavour of Heinz Tomato - not on my list.

Mashed banana sandwich, must be white bread. My Mum always made me this.

Toast and marmite with Heinz tomato soup.

Bread and milk. Must be white bread with the crusts cut off and buttered and laid across the top for the contrast between the salty butter and the sweet bread and milk.

Thankfully very rarely ill but chicken soup, a soft boiled egg and soldiers or readybrek would hit the spot for me.

Cheese on thick toast with HP sauce.

Orzo tossed in chimmichuri

Oh, now I'm not feeling poorly at the moment, but I could demolish that right now!

Not eggs in any shape or form, any time at all I'm afraid!

Chicken soup (home made) is my usual remedy whenever any of us is under the weather. Heinz tomato is my favourite. I usually put a pinch of curry powder through it or a spoonful of yogurt which takes away the metallic after-taste,

I’m another who relies on Heinz tomato soup and/or scrambled eggs. Interesting that so many of us like the same things.

When I was very ill with mastoiditis as a child in 1949, just about the only things I would eat were boiled eggs. Since rationing was still in force at that date, I suspect I was given everybody else’s egg ration in addition to mine.

I was so ill with campylobacter, nothing but water for 18 days.
I dreamt of tea and homemade chicken soup.
Little sips of tea for a day or two then the soup, sadly it just tasted of salt.

I make a chicken and lemon casserole, using chicken thighs on the bone, casserole vegetables, stock cube, water and 3 fresh lemons. It really perks me up and I feel better the next day.
