What do you eat when you are sick?
 

I am unfortunately sick right now with a crappy cold. I am trying to figure out what to eat for dinner. Something preferably really simple since I am fending for myself. I can't even decide on fast food for pete's sake!!

Anyway, I was just wondering what you like to eat when you are sick. Maybe I'll get some ideas.....if I am still awake

honey nut cheerios

Open-face roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes, and gravy and butter over the whole thing.

For a cold with gastrointestinal side-effects, I end up eating lightly toasted bread and lemon-lime soda or ginger ale.

For a plain ol' cold, I like salty soups. Chicken flavored Ramen or something out of a can, or if I'm feeling a little more energized, chicken tortilla soup made in the Crock-Pot. Long cook times make stuff pretty easy to digest, and a one-dish deal means less to clean up.

Get well soon!

Soft boiled egg mushed up in a cap with a little butter and mayonnaise.

Chicken broth with lots of garlic and onions - maybe some pearl barley or ouzo pasta.

Chocolate brownies & nothing else

Stomach issues are usually dealt with by eating pretzels & a brown soda - too much citric acid in the clear sodas.

Colds? nothing like chicken noodle soup... sometimes add a little parm cheese.

Lemon drops help with a sore throat almost as well as Hall's - and they taste better. I also find that lemon drops and lemonade help with chest congestion.

When I'm getting over a Crohn's blockage, it's clear broth and popsicles.

Lots of tea and toast.

And hot chicken noodle soup to clear my nasal passages.

Spicy... hot.... chilies, cayenne, garlic, horseradish, wasabi... and Vitamin C.

Chicken and stars soup , float salteens , and sprite to drink

Tea , eather Mint with local honey ( If Im feelen Sinusy ) Or Big mugs of English Break fast , with sugar and milk

lately, pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I find I'm feeling sick all the time except when I'm eating. Hmmmm...this is a problem. lol

But if I'm really sick from something, I usually like honey on toast with a cup of tea.

Heinz tomato soup.
Scrambled eggs on toast.
Lucozade.

That's what my mum fed me when I was ill and I revert to as comfort food.
But to be honest, if I'm really ill I will just drink water - it's all I can manage.

stomach issues -- rice with buttermilk and fried omum (ajwain)
cold -- good wonton soup or matzoh ball soup
congestion -- pasta with anchovies, garlic, chilies and Parmesan, squeeze of lemon
