I'm unwell - what's your "sick" dish?

Just that - what do you make when your throat is sore from coughing and you're low on energy?
I've been on porridge and soup for a week....Still no appetite, which is deeply unlike me.

Cheesy mash.
Hope you feel better soon

Marmite on toast. Enormous amounts of Diet Coke.

I remember being very unwell as a child and my Nan brought me a bag of fresh shrimps (the tiny ones). Can't imagine giving seafood to a sick child but I remember it made me feel much better!

Barley brae/bray.
Boil some barley in water and simmer for around 35 minutes. Drain and cool. Use the water brae/bray to drink - mix with a little squash to make more palatable. This was my granny’s recipe to cure all ills and is especially good if you’ve been sick and struggling to keep food down. Gave it to my DCs too. It’s brilliant!

Reading this thread has made me think how funny it is that when we’re ill we often crave processed foods when you’d think we should all be craving organic whole foods. Same with having morning sickness or being on chemo, I can only stomach the sorts of carby, processed foods I enjoyed as a student. Anything ‘healthy’ makes me feel like wretching.

Yes you don't really want lots of fibre do you.
I once spent a week recovering from nasty food poisoning just eating supermarket croissants and a few cereal bars.

I am just now recovering from “The Plague”… I couldn’t taste anything and it would seem that bland, flavorless foods make me gag. In the last few days, I have been able to stomach “Umami” foods so have had many cups of instant miso soup and sliced fresh tomatoes with lots of salt and pepper. At least I’m getting some vitamin c…

Still feeling awful today. I just want to sleep but cough all bloody night. It's not even very productive, just dry and hacking.
Today's menu is sloppy porridge. Runny enough to slurp, with golden syrup.
