Tinned tomato (cream of) soup, hot buttered toast. If seriously stressed I make homemade butterscotch sauce to pour (hot) over ice cream.

My mother used to give us buttered Jacobs Cream Crackers and Heinz Cream of Tomato soup if we were ill as children - don't know why. I fancy the steak and kidney pud - might get some in but its true everything tastes of nothing. Another sleepless night with DH coughing all night, my mueseli tasted like wood shavings this morning.

Steak and kidney pudding, not pie. I always have 2 Waitrose ones in the freezer.

Cheese on toast for me too or chip shop chips with white bread and butter.

Have had a horrid lurgie all week, not much to eat at all, and it all tastes of cotton wool anyway, so am mainly living on hot tea and ginger biscuits.

I'm having an off day so I'm making a huge chilli!

Comfort food has to be instant - I can't manage to cook or faff around in times of need - so hot buttered toast or crumpets and mugs of something hot to drink is my default comfort setting. But I can feel a little tickle somewhere Teetime, can I come and join you and DH, all that sounds right up my street!!!

Got a bad throat and cough. I don't fancy anything at all. Son dosing me with honey and lemon........Not keen.

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
