What is your go-to comfort food when you are sick?

[Michael_in_TX]

I am still in the throes of this cold or whatever it is, so I ordered what is my absolute hands-down favorite comfort food when sick: General Tso's chicken and Hot and Sour Soup from a local Chinese place. (888 for those in the Houston area.)

This still is so soothing....especially the soup. And for a few minutes I actually feel quasi-normal.

So what is your go-to comfort food dish when feeling under the weather?

Bourbon

[bbqLuv]

Bourbon/whisky, lemon juice, and honey
Milk on toast

[Murdy]

Bloody Mary, depending on the source of what ails me.

[Santamarina]

Bourbon is a cure-all.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

always spicy stuff and chicken noodle or split pea soup for me

[58limited]

Something gravy based, and booze.

Well I haven’t been sick for over 2 years now excluding that one time with the c word over Christmas 2021. I guess WFH has its benefits.

I guess I’d vote for a nice grilled cheese sandwich. Or if it is breakfast, simple scrambled eggs with heavily buttered homemade bread.

[WayneT]

Ditto on the grilled cheese sandwich.

[STEbbq]

Try some Mayo instead of butter and a little shredded cheese on the outside (pan side) for a crunchy crust.

[Murdy]

Grilled cheese with Campbell's Tomato Soup to dunk it in, comfort plus nostalgia.

Mine is usually soup. Pho if I can get it, otherwise homemade chicken soup of some kind.

[jerrybell]

+1 on the Pho

[Jerod Broussard]

Ramen noodles, extra Tony's, boiled egg or two.

[Old Glory]

Soup, pastina, pasta

[LA Pork Butt]

When the going gets tuff, the tuff eat ice cream.

[smokin fool]

Father!!!!

[MBMorgan]

Depends on how sick ... I generally start with dry (or lightly buttered) toast then work up through chicken soup, scrambled egg sandwiches, and eventually grill cheese sammies.

[Attjack]

I was thinking soup as well. Pho, Tom Kha Gai, or chicken noodle. But your choice sounds great too.

[WayneT]

Oatmeal or grits for a breakfast. Bananas with peanut butter or grilled cheese sandwich for all other times.

[MsTwiggy]

Water, vitamin C, and kale or collards in bone broth.

[radshop]

I’m going to allow this as a second place behind klflowers prescription of bourbon. Cuz really of the 2, I believe this has the higher medical value. But I still prefer his.

[MsTwiggy]

radshop this is for a sore throat, if it's a stomach bug i recommend bourbon

[tstalafuse]

Spagettios w/francs and frito corn chip scoops as my spoon. Closing in on 60 orbits and it is still my go to food when I am sick.

[bbqLuv]

sounds like good camping food for the Grand kids too!

[Dadof3Illinois]

When I’m sick I for some reason crave sweets??? So it’s cake, donuts…even pancakes with peanut butter and maple syrup make my go to list.
