What's your go-to food when you have a cold?

[CarterBeatsTheDevil]

Heinz tomato soup and a cheese sandwich with toasted bread for me.

Ditto to the soup, but with buttered toast.

Also hot ribena, but it's not as good since they took the sugar out.

Orange cinnamon toast

Please explain, as it sounds gorgeous!

@BadgeronaMoped oh yes, proper comfort food that is! Delicious.

As children we were given hot lemon squash or lucozade and orange segments with sugar on them. No idea about nutrition in those days!

Nothing beats a Singaporean laksa.

Charlie Bigham's macaroni cheese. It's such great comfort food, but hardly healthy! I can usually resist but if I'm poorly and feeling sorry for myself I lose the battle and cave 🙂 (it's always so good too).

I always crave the coldness & sweetness of ice cream

Chicken vindaloo. Works a treat.

Veggie broth soup made northern Irish style, with buttered wheaten. Or a Tayto crisp sandwich. Lots of tea. Heaps of tea. And water.

@murasaki - Orange cinnamon toast is something my mum used to make for us when we were kids and not well. You get toast, butter it, add orange slices, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and grill until the sugar melts.

If I make it now, my husband will automatically ask me if I'm not feeling well!

Thank you, sounds tasty!

Curry. And maybe a hot toddy. Or just warm lemon squash.

Jewish chicken broth was my favourite childhood food when I was ill.
Any clear soup is nice, especially something with chilli and garlic.
If I’m too unwell to cook, one of those tubs of Itsu noodles is the most delicious thing.

I make an anti inflammatory “super soup” with garlic, turmeric, ginger, bone in chicken and pearl barley and keep it in the freezer for when I feel a cold coming. I also do a roast tomato/red pepper and chilli one.

A big pot of vegetable and lentil stew.
Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, leeks, onions and garlic, red lentils and bouillon.
GF dumplings made with butter not suet if I’m feeling a bit better.

its funny you should ask as that’s on the menu today; I woke up feeling awful and have slept most of the day.

all I’m going to do is walk the dog, eat that stew and go back to bed!

I intend to cycle through all of these as I recover from this cold

Tom yum soup

Broccoli cheese and hot Ribena. Not together!

Egg on mashed potato is mine.

You called? 😀

Oooh, delicious 😄

Tomato soup (homemade tomato and lentil if I can be bothered, otherwise Heinz) with soft white bread. Lemon and ginger tea.

Tuna macaroni. Pringles and Coca-Cola
