At home under the duvet on the sofa, ill and pain 😫Dh texted asking if I wanted anything bringing back later. I’m going for Vimto, potato cakes with butter and macaroni cheese in a tin
What makes you feel better?

*In pain

home made chicken soup but when I’m ill it tends to be stomach related so can’t really eat!

2 or 3 soft boiled eggs in a mug mashed up with butter and pepper and a round of toast.

Beans on toast.

Walkers ready salted crisps (no other brand), and original lucozade.

Original lucozade and toast with butter and jam. I’d never usually have the butter so it’s a lovely treat!!

Batchelor’s Cup-a-soup, chicken and vegetable, is my go-to.

Heinz Chicken & Mushroom soup, plain bread & butter

Jacket potato with tuna mayo filling.

Peanut butter on toast. Got to be thick sliced wholemeal toast.

Ambrosia tinned rice pud
Supermarket own-brand will not do. Neither will the 'lighter' version.

Tomato soup and white bread
Buttered toast
Chicken soup
Boiled eggs
Scrambled eggs
Poached eggs
Farleys rusks

Thick sliced buttered toast , pasta with melted cheese on , ribena

Cheap white sliced bread toasted with proper salted butter and marmite, with white tea with sugar please (sniff sniff)

Toast with lashings of real butter.

Chicken soup

Hot ribeana

Choc digestives

Lucozade (zero)

Toasted Fruit Bread (Cranberry & Orange)

Blood oranges (don't eat any other oranges except these)

I have a cold at the mo so its good these are in stock!

Hope you feel better soon.

Have you tried the Deluxe version? Food of the Gods indeed.

Cheese on toast with lee and perrins and a cup of sugary tea.

Feel better soon x

My granny's vegetable soup and apple crumble

Sprite, tomato soup (must be from powder), soda bread.

Interestingly the thought of tinned macaroni cheese makes me want to lie down under a duvet until my stomach stops churning.

My mother's chicken soup. Always have some in the freezer for emergencies.

If I just feel a bit low, I ask myself whether it's bad enough to warrant soup. Usually, that's enough to make me realise things are not so bad.

Heinz tomato or chicken soup with bread and butter for dipping.
home made macaroni cheese.
toast, butter, marmite
wonton soup
crumpets and butter

weirdly I go right off chocolate or anything sweet when im feeling ill.

Fish fingers, chips & beans.

Heinz tomato soup & toast.

Homemade chicken soup & bread.

If its a self induced 'illness' - Mcdonalds 😂

I only have a cup of tea when I'm poorly. Can't stand it any other time! Lots of milk and a big sugar.

Toast with butter (and possibly Marmite).

For me it's usually something pasta related, or buttery mashed potato.
On the same subject i really recommend Grace Dents Comfort Eating Podcast. It's her interviewing famous people about this very thing. I think Jo Brand's was fried bread.
