Dh and I both have heavy colds so no golf today - we must be ill. I have made us comfort food - a curry, a rice pudding and a Victoria Sponge (don't worry that its not balanced as a meal I'll spread it out). What is your comfort food when feeling poorly?

PS While I have been doing this DH has been slaving away on his computer as he isn't not well. wink

Marmite toast every time!

Those plastic containers of porridge that you add hot water to - the honey or golden syrup ones are the best. Strictly for occasional bedtime comfort food

Haven't done this for years but those cans of spaghetti, well heated, with pepper and grated cheese on top. Rubbish but yummy. Italian husband refused to share my enthusiasm though [puzzled]

I wonder why emoticons don't always work ?

Soft boiled eggs and hot buttered toast , pot of strong tea.

Because the title of that emoticon is confused, not puzzled?

Porridge, and hot buttered toast and Marmite.

Piping hot chicken noodle soup - the clear kind - with lots of noodles

Porridge, with syrup if I'm really ill and salt if I'm not too bad. Hot buttered bagels with a smidgeon of Bovril , yum. Still get the longing for Lucozade, until I read the sugar content.

Anything but fish and chips from the chip shop - which is the only food DH offers me when I am too ill to cook! Tomato soup and soft white bread is my comfort food.
