I’m at home in bed today (day off work) with bad period cramps and all I want is my mum’s homemade tomato soup with warm crusty bread covered in lashings of butter.
My OH’s apple crumble would go down nicely right now too.
What do you crave when you’re feeling sorry for yourself? Or when you just fancy something that you really enjoy?

Mashed potato, marrow fat peas and gravy!!! Can’t remember the last time I indulged though!

Frosty66612 · 25/04/2018 11:42

Seems that most of you want carbs, butter and cheese when poorly. My kindred spirits!

Toast with lashings of butter and then maybe Nutella
Ambrosia tinned rice pudding
Sponge finger biscuits

Nothing that is too much effort to prepare!

All the crispy edge pieces off a roast gammon, my nan's roasties, her Yorkshire puds, carrots, cabbage and HM proper gravy with lots of black pepper on the veg and tonnes of Coleman's mustard.

For afters, butter pudding dowsed with evaporated milk and an Irish coffee.

And rhubarb and ginger crumble with custard.

Oh I'm hungry now!

Kerantli · 25/04/2018 13:07

Roast joint with mash, roast potatoes, and lots of gravy, maybe sprinkled with cheese (only on the mash)

Slightlyconfuddled · 25/04/2018 13:10

Fishfinger butties with lovely soft white bread. Or cheese toastie.

SaucyJack · 25/04/2018 13:12

Marmite toast and red Coke.

bastardlyandmutley · 25/04/2018 16:44

Poached egg on doorstep toast if I'm really ill.

If I'm just a bit fed up then pasta especially Macaroni Cheese, sandwiches or steamed pudding or some stodgy sponge with custard. Apple pie and cream also cuts it.

Similar to Mountain, spaghetti hoops on toast with a scraping of margarine. Both of my grandmothers gave it to me when I was little. Alternatively, cheesy garlic bread and Tesco mozzarella sticks. Separate plates, lots of ketchup for the mozzarella sticks.

yawning801 · 25/04/2018 17:07

Ooh and my homemade soup with a massive crusty roll slathered with butter. The only downside is the seeds that get stuck in your teeth - but it's all part of the fun.

Turnocks34 · 25/04/2018 17:07

I love Macaroni cheese with bacon but my ultimate comfort food, is a massive bowl of chocolate wheeto cereal with ice cold milk.

Chlokinson · 25/04/2018 17:10

McDonald's (McChicken Sandwich meal).

MrsCatE · 25/04/2018 17:17

Homemade bread, warm from the oven. Slathered in salty butter. OK, I was lying: lunge into it ASAP and yelping at burnt fingers. I may have also made cuts (more likeindentations given straight out of oven) in doorstep slice in order to incorporate more butter... hangs head in shame.

Frosty66612 · 25/04/2018 17:23

@MrsCatE you can never have too much butter!
And to the pp who mentioned butter pudding... what is this food porn you talk of?
