What's your go to comfort food?

[GiddyRobin]

...when you're feeling under the weather? Mine are all childhood favourites and not particularly nice sounding, but I love them. 😂

Eggs in a cup with bread and butter.
Carrot and turnip mash with peas and onion gravy.
Mashed potatoes with fried eggs broken through.
Tea and toast (with the toast dipped in the tea).
Homemade vegetable soup, left brothy and chunky.
Tomato soup with cheese on toast.

I said to DH earlier that I think I'm coming down with something, and he asked if it was a carrot job or a soup job. 🤣 I also remember being given salad cream and plain salad sandwiches as a kid for lunch when I was ill. Sadly I tried that as an adult and didn't really enjoy it!

Ahh, bless you. Definitely best with good old lentil then in that case. Stomach issues are such a nightmare, I hugely empathise as mine is bloody useless.

What a gorgeous memory! They sound like a lovely lot; it's so special when you know they're genuinely getting something from lectures. I only tutored but DH lectures sometimes (used to be his full job, that was exhausting) and it can be grinding sometimes. But moments like this are important because you know it's made an impression. You sound like a bloody brilliant lecturer too; everyone needs fun like that! I wish I'd had a lecturer like that - every one of those Mini Eggs was definitely deserved!

I agree with your choice but I add loads of grated cheese on top so it melts in cheesy strings!

Could not be bothered to cook tonight so had my favourite student meal - Walkers cheese and onion crisps on while buttered bread! To make up for the poor choice, I’ve defrosted some chicken for tomorrow to do a very healthy stir fry!

@GiddyRobin dd2 tried tuna after 8 years as a vegetarian said she just really wanted it. She said it was a huge disappointment and didn't taste at all how she remembered it. She went back to being veggie (10 years this Christmas) so you may find chicken soup a disappointment.

@GiddyRobin Aw, thank you. That Bulgarian truffle cheese sounds amazing! I've never bought the cheese with it in. I'm craving one of those pizzas now though! 🤤 X

If I'm feeling really pathetically ill, walkers cheese and onion crisps on buttered white bread. I know. But it makes me feel a bit better. 🤒

Such a good thread! I forgot about Lucozade, am adding to shopping list even though I'm feeling healthy. That stuff is delish.

Jersey Royals with lashings of butter, salt, black pepper & fresh mint yummy

Processed while bread ham sandwich

Scrambled eggs sandwich

Crumpets topped with baked beans and bacon

Pret Swedish meatball hot wrap.

I can't remember the last time I got ill and didn't stuff my face with these.

Mashed potato with some salad cream on it (don't judge!)
