After my tonsillectomy my mother was told to give me anything I fancied, I chose toast and marmalade, still my comfort food!

I suffered from repeated bouts of tonsillitis until I was 7 and had a tonsillectomy.
My sore throat food was smooth soup with jelly to follow.

Yes!!! That's exactly how I used to have eggs as a child. I didn't like eggs in general, but I did love the eggs done that way. I loved holding the cup by the handle and dipping the spoon into eggy mixture. Lovely.

Now, my comforting, "poorly" food, is mashed potatoes with butter and fried onions. grin

My poor DH went to the dentist this morning for a check up and came back feeling very sorry for himself as he had had a tooth taken out. The side of his face was completely numb and he had a list of do's and dont's. By lunchtime he still looked as if he and Tyson Fury had had a disagreement. So I asked him if he fancied scrambled eggs to eat. Healthy and easy to eat. Suddenly his face lit up. "I know what I would really like. When I was little and poorly I always had...." I knew straight away what he was going to say because it was what I always had if I was poorly. Two soft boiled eggs mashed up in a cup with salt and butter!!. I don't know why the cup made it special, but it just isn't the same in a bowl. What was your "poorly food" when you were small?
