I always feel better eating grapefruit when I'm sick. Normally, I don't like grapefruit at all so that's odd. But maybe I'm just developing a taste for it as I get older.
Taco Bell's tacos make my stomach feel better. If I have a sore throat I drink grapfruit juice. My throat stings, but it helps. I like grapefruit juice even when I'm not sick.

I agree with Loopy. . . an Egg McMuffin and hash brown from McDonalds is the absolute best cure for my hangovers! Chicken soup makes me feel better when I'm actually sick.
Loopy-- hung over on a Thursday? I thought you were an old married hag and didn't have fun anymore!
Vanilla ice cream...whenever I'm sick it makes me feel better. Tea also works. (I'm also partially saying this because I have laryngitis right now.)
When I'm hungover, there's this place in Boston called Sunset Cantina. They have the BEST nachos ever...they are the perfect hangover food. Drink with a beer and you're all set.

Well you are right - I am a lame old married hag. DH and I went out for a fancy dinner. We had drinks on happy hour beforehand and this pretty cool bar, then a bottle of wine with dinner.
Magical cure for a hangover, a beer the next morning...nah. Magical cure would be ramen noodles for when I'm sick, instant cure for what ails you. Another magical cure for when I'm having a bad day, a romp in the sac will make me feel much better
So because I mentioned yesterday that it's been awhile since I've been sick, now I'm sick.
That means it's time to break out the Canada Dry club soda and grits. I only eat grits when I have a sore throat, and I load them up with salt and butter.
When I'm sick, potato soup by far. Totally works everytime. As far as the hangover, greasy foods from almost anywhere helps. Also milk, most people don't know how I do it, but it coats my stomach and makes me better.
BF's boss's banana chocolate chip muffins. I was laid up in bed all freaking day yesterday with an awful headache and nausea (both which would not be touched by meds), then he came home with a giant bag of those muffins, I devoured them, and the headache and nausea were almost completely gone.
I'm thinking of enslaving her so that I can have a steady supply of the Miracle Muffins.

Ahh I love buttery grits. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, Leia, but I can't be <em>too</em> sorry if it's an excuse to eat grits.

Not surprising. They're definitely associated with the south.
Have you seen My Cousin Vinny? I love the grits scene in that movie.

Of course, I'm partially saying this because I have a wicked headcold at the moment.
As for food.... I'm a huge cheesy/meaty carb sort of girl. Give me carbs and grease and I'm good to go.
