I see you gave in to the temptation, Gonegirl. smile I do hope you got your mitigating circumstances all sorted out beforehand.

Chocolate or cake. smile

All home made food. Anything. Everything. Any homemade food when I’m really hungry and especially when I’m ill will make me feel better. I would never ever starve to death while my nose still smells a delicious homemade meal....

Baked potato with cheese.
Fresh French stick with melting Brie or Camembert.
In fact anything with cheese, think I must have been a mouse in a previous existence.

Fresh, thickly sliced white loaf - a bloomer is my favourite - toasted and spread with as much real butter as I can get on it shock. I might add, this is a very rare treat!

Cheese and onion crisp sandwiches on white bread and butter.

Like Septimia, bread and milk, liberally sprinkled with demerara sugar. This was always the cure for any childhood upset and it still works for me today.

We used to call it 'pobs' chicken
I hated it, too slimy. Ugh.

Soft boiled eggs in egg cups with buttered soldiers followed by syrup sponge and custard

Marmalade on toast or crumpets and marmalade.

TerryM Mon 08-Apr-19 10:47:18

Oops just had supper. ...now I am hungry again

JessK Mon 08-Apr-19 10:47:18

Good old fashioned steak and kidney pudding made from scratch with plenty of gravy and mash

Madmartha Mon 08-Apr-19 10:50:00

Tesco sourdough (no other comes close) thickly sliced with masses of Lurpak right up to the edges

annifrance Mon 08-Apr-19 10:51:16

Mashed potato, cheese on toast, soup and pasta in any shape or form.

jaylucy Mon 08-Apr-19 10:53:07

Fish fingers, mashed potato and peas or bangers, mash peas and gravy !

Delicious granary bread from the bakery spread with lemon curd.
My DS loved a sandwich with two quarters peanut butter and two lemon curd.

BladeAnnie Mon 08-Apr-19 10:57:58

It would have to be a lovely jam sandwich!!

Hilmix Mon 08-Apr-19 10:59:42

Ham and chip butties with loads of butter. Heaven on a plate

Aepgirl Mon 08-Apr-19 11:00:56

Bacon sandwich with brown sauce. Lovely.

BradfordLass72 Mon 08-Apr-19 11:03:15

For me it's broccoli every time. Lightly cooked and tossed in butter.
I can eat a whole head of it to myself.

I remember 'pobs' - always had that when I was sick.
Not slimy though as Mum made all her own bread and with warm milk and honey it always made me feel better.

Cheese on really thick toast with HP sauce or coffee & walnut cake (or both!)

trendygran Mon 08-Apr-19 11:16:45

Like you annodomini-macaroni cheese . I’m just thinking off heading to a store in town ,where they do a great mac
.and cheese. Just hope it’s on their menu today.
The other temptation is chocolate -not good.

Gizmogranny Mon 08-Apr-19 11:20:21

A large plate of golden brown real chips with loads of salt and HP brown sauce ? with a slice of white bread spread with a generous amount of butter. I taste a chip buttie coming on......

pamdixon Mon 08-Apr-19 11:22:56

roast chicken and roast potatoes (cooked by me of course) or boiled egg and soldiers

Shalene777 Mon 08-Apr-19 11:26:45

Hot buttered toast
