What do you eat when you're poorly?

I've had a nasty cold and I vomited this afternoon, haven't eaten all day.

Put my DD to bed and told my partner I was going to try and eat some plain beans, no toast. Just beans. He thought that was weird, but it's helped make me feel better.

Heinz tomato soup.

Buttered toast and marmite, and hot Ribena.
I really crave salty chips too. Maybe less so if I've been throwing up.
