Poorly food

Tomato soup and lucozade, neither of which I can stand now - I wonder why?!

Bread and hot milk. I still have it now sometimes.
It must be white bread, broken into pieces, then the hot milk poured over it, and plenty of sugar. So comforting.

Whipped up egg whites with warm milk and sugar.. I absolutely hated it.

Dippy eggs as we called them, 2 soft boiled eggs with soldiers.Or chicken soup with soft crusty bread.

Scotch broth or Tomato soup with bread and Lucozade. Sat on settee with old army blankets loved the attention from a very busy mum.
Hope you are feeling better now you are home Marydoll.

umm Heinz tomato soup, also egg mash - egg mashed into potato, my dad used to it for me, i can never get it the same as he did and if i was on the road to recovery my mums mince pie, mash and carrot and turnip and lucozade was always on hand.

Mashed egg in a cup for me. Somehow mum saying I'll go and make you egg in a cup was like a big warm hug. I must have been a terrible mother when mine were young as I never gave it to my children.

Hot Ribena or the original Lucozade were the drinks and cheesy mash or hot buttered toast to be gentle on the stomach. Still ove them now if I am not well.

Raw egg yolks whisked with port and sugar, prescribed by Gran, when we were little.

Heinz tomato soup. Tinned pears. Milkshake.

Scrambled eggs for me even now for a change a cup of veg soup .

As a child, tomato soup with mashed potato, sometimes with grated roast beef on top (suppose that must have been on a Monday or Tuesday).

Bread soaked in warm milk with sugar sprinkled on. Known as "pobs" in these parts. (Does anybody ever still eat that now?) Or Farleys Rusks in hot milk. Yes, baby food! (Must confess I still occasionally have those if I'm really feeling ill and no appetite.) Or rice pudding. Mashed potato.

Lucozade and a Marmite drink - not at the same time. Marmite is still my go to drink if I have a cold. My daughter still refers to chicken soup and fish pie as 'ill' food.

Grapes and Lucozade

I was a bread and warm milk girl. Nauseating.
My son always wanted toast buttered hot so the toast went soggy.

Chicken soup with dry bread. Moving on to chicken in white sauce with mashed potatoes.

My school sick bay would give anyone feeling sick a cup of Bovril and two digestives to eat, I can think of nothing more disgusting!

Bread and milk with sugar. Lovely. Also had bread and oxo. Bread torn up in a basin with hot water poured over a dissolved oxo cube. Great, I could eat that now .

When I was small, Bovril drink, sandwich of butter and Demerara sugar on white bread. For a sore throat my mum had a jar of onion and sugar, a spoonful of the liquid. Now my comfort food is a jacket potato with a lot of butter.

Boiled eggs, and I still love them. I can’t imagine how many I ate when recovering from a mastoid operation in 1949. I don’t know if eggs were still rationed then - probably not.

My mother, from Yorkshire, called bread and milk ‘pobs’, but I thought it was a made-up word, somehow describing the soft texture. I didn’t realise other people used it.

My Nan always made us boiled mashed potatoes mixed in gravy. Still have potatoes mashed in gravy with dinners!

A soft boiled egg on mashed potato!

Oh God this brings back memories of having to make a meal and lay an inviting tray for ‘an invalid’ in aHome Economics !!!!! If I was ill my mum used to,feed me Heinz chicken and rice with carrots in a tin ,baby food, I think she did this up until I was abou 10, by which time I was up to about 6tins!!!!!!??

As a child, Heinz Baked Beans!! Nowadays it would be chocolate in any form!!

I don’t remember being given any special food when I was ill, but I do remember having Lucozade with crinkly orange cellophane wrapped around it and both Bunty and Judy comics where I was usually only allowed one.
