What’s your favourite food when ill?

[changemyspots]

I’ve got this awful virus that everyone seems to have at the moment and have lost my appetite for real food.

I’m in need of a snack and not sure what to eat. I usually manage ice cream but had that for lunch!

thinking maybe rice pudding? Any suggestions for comfort food?

Not quite the same but my hangover go to when I was a young woman was a family sized quiche (Lorraine) and salt and vinegar crisps washed down with icy diet coke. Unless I was hungover from drinking JD and coke- then it was icy lemonade- cheap supermarket stuff all if it from Costcutter round the corner.
Now I'm middle aged Ice cream, Greek yoghurt and frozen raspberries are my go to things if I have a sore throat- and R White lemonade lollies. If my throat is OK loads of strong tea and toasted thick sliced white bread with real butter (Kerrygold) and strong cheddar cheese sliced thinly. Trifle goes down well too for afters.

Spaghetti with butter and black pepper.
Heinz Tomato Soup
Toast with Marmite
Full fat coke for upset stomach

Chicken koka noodles. Or ready brek. Or Heinz tomato soup with buttered toast.

has to be conger when I have a cold. just cook skin on chicken pieces, rice, fish sauce band a few pieces of ginger until all mushy. serve with spring onions and soy

Digestive biscuits and buckets of tea

Boiled eggs and toast soldiers.

I had an operation recently and I only had an appetite for chicken broth when I came back home. My favourite was chicken stock with a few coins of ginger, a smashed garlic clove, sliced up spring onions, a wee bit of fish sauce, juice of a lime and some sliced Thai chillies. I lived on it for the first few days. Really light and nourishing.
