What Is One Of Your Favorite Comfort Foods When You Are..... email this discussion to a friend?

.......Sick? Feeling like do-do ca-ca poo-poo? For about a week now I just haven't been feeling too keen...uh, to put it mildly. I've been having one of my bouts of bronchitis again...not too severe but still making me feel lousy. My energy level has been zip, can't think, having serious brain fog. As soon as I started feeling lousy and getting that twinge of bronchitis I started taking a bit more of that herb Echinacea, more Vit-C and dosing myself with garlic pills since garlic is a natural antibiotic. I still haven't gone to my docs since I have to practically be at death's door before going to one....LOL....also have that same attitude my great-grandmother had who was a nurse and thought all docs as idiots, never took anything stronger than aspirin in her life, was into natural remedies and lived to be 98

But I have noticed something when I'm sick....now yes, I'm a good cook, love cooking and can make a lot of great homemade soups...and do while I'm sick...but what do I long for and eat a lot of while sick? My favorite comfort food..what is it you ask? Good old Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup---I could eat this by the gallon ...Yes, it's a "processed" canned food, loaded with salt, salt, salt, and yes it has MSG (mono sodium glutamate)..but I love it...this is definitely my comfort food when I'm sick...perhaps memories of my childhood as that's what I would have when I was sick as a kid.

So when you're sick...what is YOUR comfort food? Even if it's something that may not exactly be the healthiest for you like a processed food rather than a homemade one. Do you turn to good old Campbell's soup too? Doesn't have to be the Chicken Noodle kind either, but do you?

Just what is it about that Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup anyway? Mmmm...mmm...good...mmmm..mmmm...goodlol

Wow, it seems like everyone is getting sick. I really don't have a comfort food but oddly enough, when I get bronchitis, smoking makes me feel better. It makes my throat feel better for some reason. I also like to drink a lot of gatorade & diet coke!
Hope you feel better soon!

That doesn't sound so odd...I have one friend who has asthma and she swears she feels better by smoking....LOL

Never liked campbells, it was lipton's noodle soup - and I can't eat it now


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11587)   ranked 225 out of 38,119 in life  10 months ago

I always found Lipton's Noodle Soup to be even saltier than Campbell's


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15177)   ranked 1,129 out of 38,119 in life  10 months ago

hun, salt was NEVER one of my problems, low salt was

Hi pyewacket

I am comfortable with my traditional south Indian food "Idli" when I am sick.This food is made of rice and some lentils,battered,fragmented and cooked in steam.This is very easily digestible by any patients of any age.

I am sorry to hear that you suffer from bronchitis again.

As bronchitis is caused by viral infections in most of the cases,I hope you are also suffering from bronchitis due to viral infection only.So this will be a temporary discomfort.And nothing wrong if you don't visit a Doctor.

Any home treatment is fine to relieve your discomfort.

So the chicken noodle soup which you take is a very fine choice by you.That will surely help to keep you well hydrated.So that your lung secretions will be thinner and easier to clear.

I feel that you have inherited your grand mother's attitude regarding
treatment by a doctor.

I wish you also follow the natural remedies of your grand mother and live healthy as long as your grand mother lived.

All the best for a quick recovery.

Happy mylotting.

I am sorry to hear that you have the yuck also. I have been fighting it (again) the past week. I agree when sick there is nothing better then chicken soup. I prefer homemade but usually dont have the energy to make it. I guess that is one good thing about my parents still living so close. My mom makes it by the gallon and then freezes it for when we call her complaining we are sick.

It isnt the same as my grandmother's was but it is pretty darn good. I am really not sure that I woud survive without it.

The only Campbell's soup I actually like is the tomato and it has to me the condensed kind lol



myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11587)   ranked 225 out of 38,119 in life  10 months ago

Yes chicken is the age old cure all for I think just about anything..LOL

Anything chocolate usually makes me feel
somewhat better. A good ole pan of brownies
and a glass of milk. That does the trick. I love
brownies and cake hot right out of the oven.
Yummy!


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11587)   ranked 225 out of 38,119 in life  10 months ago

Mmmmm...brownies right out of the oven...now I'm wishing I had some...LOL

Hi pye,


Oh! yes I do love Cambell's chicken noodle soup to, when my mother used to have flu, she would only eat this rice broth which she taught me how to cook, rice chichen and spring onins in it and a pich of salt, well you fry onions garlic and giger first before you add the rest, so its is a lovely thich chichen broth and I had to make that everytime she felt ill, mum used to give that when I was ill as well, it a good recovery food, but since my mother died and when I am not well I long for that and my hubby is useless so I can't have that, so now I make them up and put them in the freezer and when ever I am unwell I get up and and defrost it and reheat it, its perfect. Hope you are feeling better.

Bright Blessings.
Tamara

Wow that sounds good..ginger is supposed to be very good for congestion I understand...and garlic is a natural antibiotic

 
29. myLot reputation of 90/100. lisa0502 (995)   ranked 1,524 out of 38,119 in life   11 months ago

When I am sick I really really like to have the lipton chicken noodle soup. With the little noodles that can just slide down your throat. I do like my campbells soup but not when I am sick.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11587)   ranked 225 out of 38,119 in life  10 months ago

I think any kind of chicken soup is good for when one is sick...don't you think?

 
30. myLot reputation of 92/100. anaknitatay (783)   ranked 4,158 out of 38,119 in life   11 months ago

when I'm sick I usually drink/eat noodles or chicken soup. However, I also pig out on chips and coke from time to time... lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11587)   ranked 225 out of 38,119 in life  10 months ago

I've been eating a lot of chips lately too while sick...maybe there's something about salt that is good for colds, no?
