I like a dippy egg and soldiers when I dont feel great, its easy to eat and not too much on the ole belly...

 

However, I have sent Gyps to Tesco for bagels, processed cheese, and bacon...I dunno how wise this is, but I am STARVING!!! and need to eat something, runs or not!!

 

Other foods I like when I am not well...cheese straws from the co op, pot noodle, cake,and soup. we have a name for this kinda food in this house, but it is not repeatable on here

 

what do you like to eat when you are poorly, or have been poorly??

I know I am a freak, (and Mr Sparkles thinks so too with regard to my odd eating tendencies whe I am ill,), but when I am poorly, I like 'bread 'n' milk.' (white bread torn into strips, covered in hot milk and sugar.)  I usually have wholemeal bread but when I have this, only white bread will do. Also love bread and butter pudding.  Must be a craving for carbs and sugar!

It's not for nothing that home made chicken soup is called Jewish Penicillin 

And yet, I'm not keen on chicken soup, or is that only Heinz chicken soup

Tis true I swear Sparkles - I fink Nigella called it that and I've heard it referred to as that by Jamie Oliver as well so if they say it is, then it is

Heinz stuff is yuk!!!!!!    You need to make a proper chicken soup with one of those chickens that you boil not roast and add your flavourings 

 

JEWISH PENICILLIN (CHICKEN SOUP) 
Fresh chicken wings, backs and necks
water (enough to cover chicken)
 parsley
2 chicken bouillon cubes
Celery, sliced, cut up into bite-size pieces
Onions, sliced, cut up into bite-size pieces
Carrots, sliced, cut into bite-size pieces
Pinch of saffron (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

 

In large pot, put chicken pieces and water. Bring to boil. Skim off brown foam and large yellow patches. Lower flame, add rest of ingredients. Cover and simmer 1 hour.

 

 

and ta da as they say

I hate that expression "Poorly", makes me want to say.."Pull yourself together".....

Now that you say that Sydlers, It's not my best expression either. It's like someone has a cold and all of a sudden it's flu   If they only knew what the proper flu was like

No dairy products is my advice. 

 

Hope you feel better soon zazz.  

Yep, that's what I go with too. Dry toast until your stomach can take food again and then little by little increase   

Yes sprouty. It takes a bit of willpower because you`re hungry but it`s better for you in the long run.
