What is your go to food when recovering from illness?

[Geekster1963]

I've had a horrible bug since Sunday night and been feeling utterly wiped out and been sick. I've spent most of the last two days napping and after being sick this morning I'm finally feeling a lot perkier.

I can think about food now without wanting to be sick and actually feel hungry, I just can't decide what I fancy.

What do you like after a bout of illness?

Mashed potato, sometimes with cheese

Or ready salted crisps

Vegetable Stew, one year we had it so often it was called Flu Stew ☺️

Sauté leek onion and as much garlic as you can take
Add quartered potatoes,
Carrots, Parsnips, Swede in chunks
Cover with hot bouillon
Salt and pepper to taste

You can add parsley, sage and thyme if you like

When you feel Better make Herb Dumplings to cook in the Stew

Tastes even better the next day so make a vat of it
You must say, weakly, as you eat, “I can feel this doing me good”

Ready salted crisps.
Or salty fries (preferably McDonald's).

McDonald’s

Bread and butter and Marmite
Minestrone cup a soup

Soup - homemade lentil or leek and potato if I'm capable of it, or Heinz tomato if not - with toast or nice bread

Custard - either bananas and custard, or some sort of bought pud and custard

Toast and Marmite

Baked potato

Fish fingers mash and beans

Ribena - hot or cold over ice both good for a sore throat

Tinned peaches :)

Buttery toast with Marmite.
Or salt and vinegar crisps.
...My go-to foods if I'm feeling blah.

Tomato soup or mash.

A thin chicken soup with white bread and butter.

Go slow op!!! Stick to plain and light. Glad you're feeling better.

Crumpets

Heinz cream of tomato soup with a cheese sandwich to dip in it.

My mum's chicken fried rice or pasta with bacon strips stirred though, topped with cheese, black pepper and salt and put in the oven in the plate for a while to turn the cheese gooey but not brown.

Yorkshire Provinder Chicken Soup

White sliced bread toast.

Boiled eggs and toast soldiers. I used to have this when ill as a child and it is still my go to food when ill now. There is something very comforting about it.

Young's Fisherman's Pie, the mash and cheesy sauce always makes me feel better; and a Yazoo milkshake, I always crave milk when I'm sick for some reason.

When I was a child it was buttery mashed potatoes with peas. Now it is tinned tomato soup.

At the 1st sign of that fluey feeling I used to have hot ribena with disprin. Worked every time. Now I have one those hot drinks blackcurrant flavour, with some added ribena as they can be a bit insipid with some honey and maybe a drop of port.

Toast
Crisps
Plain jacket potato

Tomato soup, tinned rice pudding

Ready salted crisp sandwich - on a soft breadcake, with butter.

Toast, hula hoops (original) and fat coke!
