Hot Ribena if I have cold, strange as I can't stand blackcurrant cordial at any other time. Oh and kitty I think we may be married to the same man! confused

Oh no, not salty butter. Love unsalted

Bellanonna Sun 10-Jan-16 20:38:18

Both of those Galen but must have a good sprinkling of black pepper.

Or, Heinz tomato soup with toast and lashings of salty butter.

Heinz chicken soup, crusty bread with proper butter :-))

Iam64 - that's my comfort food as well. If I'm feeling tired or not too well I use Smash and ready grated cheese, but for me it's Flora.

mashed potato with lots of butter and occasionally, cheese (well ok then, not occasionally, it's a must, as is loads of lurpak)

Home made chicken and vegetable broth. Works absolute wonders for me. DH can't stand it so he sticks to whisky toddy, too!

M0nica Wed 09-Dec-15 18:04:36

Steak & kidney pudding

Matella Wed 09-Dec-15 17:39:08

Purple sprouting and gravy with anything!

Fish and chips.

I am struggling with a cold which has now lasted over 3 weeks. My long-suffering (while I have been long-snuffling) DH has kindly made me my favourite chicken and noodle dish which always makes me feel a millions times better. What are your go-to dishes for when you're feeling under the weather? I go completely off alcohol whereas my DH swears by his hot toddies (and some) wink
