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?

Oh yes love the bombay bad boy. I eat it in secret.

My gran’s soup, egg n soldiers (only my gran can cook them properly) or her curry oh or any of her baking. Followed by a big hug. I’d love her soup one more time.

Now tho it’s spicy vegetable sarabou - it’s Thai style dumpling. Huge and filled with spicy vegetable. Or the pumpkin one is nice too.

Soft creamy mashed potato with lashings of butter and salt, maybe some grated cheese on top.

Dream Topping, on its own in a large bowl - all four portions just for me.

Quick fix is Tayto cheese n onion crisps and a kitkat
Next quickest is buttered cream crackers topped with herby cream cheese- or Primula squeezy cheese n ham spread
If I can wait then egg in a cup with a big knob of butter and pepper and lovely warm fresh white bread.
Often though its just the crisps .

Soft poached eggs, 2 rashers of fatty bacon, sliced avocado with lemon salt and black pepper and 2 heavily buttered slices of white toast.

So hungry now it's unreal.

I'm spotting a theme here.we all actually just want and need to go back to being kids or that memory of being nurtured,fed,comfroted and looked after,and when we didn't have things as adults we now have to think bout.

pandamonium88 · 28/04/2018 16:07

Anything with oats in. Oat biscuits, flapjack, porridge. Just all the oats. GIVE ME OATS.

Frosty66612 · 28/04/2018 16:34

@kateandme I think that’s exactly it. A big bowl of homemade soup and crusty bread just takes me back to my mum looking after me on the sick days i’d have off school

MyKingdomForACaramel · 28/04/2018 19:22

Fish fingers and waffles! Or (and this is odd) Pom bear crisps with strawberry friji milkshake! You can tell I’m an 80s child!
