What Is One Of Your Favorite Comfort Foods When You Are.....

Sorry to hear you are sick, pye. I know exactly what you mean about doctors and I avoid them like the plague too. There is a wonderful, spicy herbal tea that can really help. You make it with cloves, cinnamon, ginger and coriander seeds. It reduces fever and clears mucous. When I am sick, I completely lose my appetite and tend to rely heavily on the tea. If I really feel like food, I would pull some split pea and ham soup out of the freezer and eat it with hot, buttered toast. I have never been a fan of canned soup. I hope you shake off the bronchitis really soon.

I rarely get sick. But when I'm sick I think like even though I don't feel like eating I have to eat. So i normally have chicken noddle soup just like you lol and I have crackers. Also when your sick you should make sure you drink plenty of water.

I feel for you having the bronchitis I just got over a bout of it that started in October. My favorite comfort food is Mac and Cheese. Not the boxed kind but home made. Of course being wheat free I have to make it myself anyway but it really soothes my soul when I eat my favorite dish.

You're quite right, Pye - the best comfort food is something that evokes happy, childhood memories. My Mum used to make flapjacks (the English kind, NOT the American kind) - with oats, golden syrup, butter, etc., and a big slab of those is comfort food for me. Unfortunately, I've NEVER been able to make them so they taste the same as Mum's. I've tried different kinds of butter, different kinds of oats, even different quantities of brown and white sugar - but I can never get the same taste. Maybe it's me, and my taste buds have changed over the years? However, one of my daughters also loves flapjacks, so when I go to visit her, we go out and buy the ingredients and I make her a big batch!

I have a few foods that always make me feel better when I'm sick. The very best one is a nice, hot bowl of tomato soup with a grilled cheese. To me, that's the ultimate comfort food.
Some other things I like to eat when I don't feel well is good ol' chicken noodle soup. I read online on numerous forums and health sites that it's actually been proven that steam from chicken noodle soup clears your congestion faster than plain old steam.
Another favorite comfort food of mine is fried potatoes with onions. Makes me feel like I'm back at home with my mom. If I'm feeling well enough to get out, waffle house hash browns with cheese and onions will always get me going again. Oh, and also my grandmother's biscuits and gravy or chicken dumplings...mmmm yummy!
I suppose your comfort food depends a lot on what you grew up on and what your mom cooked for you as a child when you felt bad.

Hey pye! That's nice that you still like the Campbell's Chicken
Noodle Soup! I can't eat it or look at! But, for me it is
because it reminds me of my childhood and I don't want any
memories of that especially when I'm sick! I guess I never
really liked the taste of Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup because
my Great-Grandmother, Grandmother and Mother always were making
homemade chicken soup and having the canned chicken soup just
wasn't up to par! Although, my mother did give it to us and
the totato soup! I think I liked the tomato soup better! I
personally like the Progresso Chicken Noodle Soups better!
I just have to wait until they are on sale! I also prefer those
Cup-O-Soups in the containers! I'd much rather have one of
those because they have real veggies and meat in them! I'm
honestly not a big soup person unless I'm sick or really cold!
I don't make my own soups either. It's just something I never
really liked as a kid except the "family chicken soup" and
I just never tried to make it!

I don't think I crave food when I'm sick... its the only time I am cravings free. When I'm sick the sight of food makes me feel even more ca ca poo poo icky. I'm glad you have such an easy and affordable comfort food, because the only thing worse then eating while sick, is cooking while sick.

Sit down, take it easy, put your feet up, and get well soon. God bless!

Nah, I hate the taste of Campbell's soup:P When I'm sick I usually eat chocolate and home-made chicken noodle soup. Granted, it takes a while to make it but it's still worth it<33 Hot chocolate is awesome too xP

Hi Pye..at the moment I can't think of any favourite foods I had as a child except a family recipe called spaghetti pie thats scrumptous...but getting back to chicken soup did you also know that that is also very good for you if you have a cold or something like you have..so go on and get some girl!! Also don't be too stubborn about not seeing the doctor having bronchitus as you know can become very serious...bb littleowl

Hmm. I hear ya. I just got over a bad cold myself. I don't really have a sick comfort food. I don't really want to eat when I am sick and I can't stand chicken noodle soup, the smell for some reason makes me ill. I usually just eat normally but drink a lot of juice.
