Poorly food

Heinz tomato soup and sherbet lemons - but not both together ???

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.

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.

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

Poached eggs on mashed potatoes, wouldn’t fancy it now.

Heinz tomato soup with crusty bread and butter.

if poorly as a child mashed potato with a soft boiled egg chopped on top of it,,,,,,, also bread and milk as a small child.

recently had a tooth out but didn't eat sloppy food as needed to eat the other side keeping clear of the wound! had a cheese sandwich after 3 hours!

If I had been to the dentist and had any dental treatment it had to be Baxter’s pea and ham soup.
If l was poorly off of school l would have a piece of lightly fried bread and a fried egg on top with a splodge of ketchup.

Heinz tomato soup and the original luzozade.... yes the orange stuff but there’s nothing like it for me if I’m feeling poorly and off my food.

I am going to the Dentist tomorrow.I hope I don't need poorly food after my visit as I can't think of anything I would want to eat. I will definitely avoid nuts though as that is what broke my tooth in the first place!

Bread and milk! (Just the thought makes me feel ill now).

Soft boiled eggs in a cup was my ‘poorly’ food as well. My OH thinks it is disgusting

The chopped up eggs in a cup was called coddled eggs at home and that was our poorly food, with soldiers.

What gets me on the road to recovery should the need arise, is porridge.

Bread and milk here too my mum would break up white bread and pour hot milk over and sprinkle sugar on it. ?

Cornflour - sweet white sauce. Mum always made me a bed on the couch with a little quilt.

Bread and milk here, too. Although that was also what the dog got if we ran out of dog food!

Dad used to have a pan of tripe and onions.

We also had the dreaded calves foot jelly too.

Pea and ham soup, chicken soup, eggs mashed up in the cup with butter (yum) scrambled eggs with baked beans.
Bits of bread were added to the soup, called ’pobs’.

Although----I could just eat some pigs trotters with salt and vinegar

I was often ill as a child, my farmer dad would come in and especially bring me bovril and Jacobs cream crackers up to my bed to chat. I really hate bovril!

I'm with rockgran. My mother always gave me cornflour for an upset tummy. I always gave it to my children too.

Yes. What was the thinking behind the cornflour cure?

(Talking of upset tummies - remember kaolin and morph? You can't get it with the 'morph' any more ! but it worked).

Another bread and milk.......yuk! ?

I don’t remember what my poorly food was but my kids still remember what I gave them
Chicken noodle soup and lucozade
