What is your go-to sick food?

sarawifenow · April 2015

I have progressively gone from sore throat to death today. I am on my way home early and am going to grab some Pho on the way home to help. What's everyone else's go-to sick food?

Maggie0829 · April 2015

Sweet carbs. So pancakes, waffles, pillsbury cinnamon rolls in the tube or a toasted bagel with butter and cinnamon sugar.

theartistformerlyknownas · April 2015

OMG I was just talking about Pho to someone and want it SO BAD now! Bonus points for actually getting something good for your immune system. :-p

With Maggie on the carbs, but not necessarily always sweet. I ate a lot of French toast when I had the preg pukes, plus plain bagels with cream cheese, Kix, etc. For normal run of the mill sickness, boxed mac and cheese.

beachyone15 · April 2015

My dad used to make a mean hot toddy. I usually drink hot tea or Sprite/7-up when I'm sick. Club crackers, toast, and chicken noodle soup of course.

Edited to add: ice cream

lovegood90 · April 2015

That sucks! Hope you feel better,

If I have a sore throat/cough, I like mac and cheese or something like that. If it's anything else ie flu like symptoms then I don't have much of an appetite.

FiancB · April 2015

For sore throat I want all the ice cream.

Last time I was nauseous and cautiously starting to eat again, I wanted chicken nuggets for some reason.

Hangover=pizza and gatorade.

bizzy592 · April 2015

Sorry you're in rough shape

Miso soup (or homemade chicken broth), apple sauce, coconut sorbet (cold, dairy-free, and low acidity), and grits with milk and honey.

hellosweetie1015 · April 2015

I love me some biscuits and gravy. I made that yesterday. Also: ramen. Cheap-ass, fakey-chicken-flavor, 17-cent ramen. In a cup, not a bowl. We failed to get that when we went grocery shopping this weekend (Winn Dixie didn't have Maruchan Chicken Flavor?!), and I was extremely disappointed in us at lunch yesterday. And Dibs, back when they were easy to find.

Don't give me healthy shit when I'm sick. Stuff me with craptastic food.

ShesSoCold · April 2015

Sore throat? A chocolate milkshake (made with vanilla ice cream, not that chocolate ice cream shit).

Otherwise ramen noodles and boxed macaroni and cheese.

TrixieJess · April 2015

Dahl. It's what I want whenever I'm fighting something. The only thing is if I'm super stuffed, I can't taste all the spices, only cardamon.

cupcait927 · April 2015

Box mac n cheese, grilled cheese or fast food (specifically chicken nuggets and french fries).

A chocolate milkshake made with Bluebell Dutch Chocolate ice cream is heaven in a cup. I'm willing to forgive this though because you're in BC (eta... I think? Went to confirm and you don't have a location) and I'm not even sure Bluebell exists up there.

Dammit now I'm stopping to get a half-gallon of Dutch Chocolate ice cream tonight on the way home.

sarawifenow · April 2015

And now I want ALL the ice cream and ALL the pancakes and ALL the nuggets.

Blue Bell just recalled ALL of its ice cream due to listeria concerns so you probably won't find any

plainjane0415 · April 2015

Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese.

chibiyui · April 2015

OMG PHO.

if there was a place near me to get Pho, that would be my go-to sick food.

General sick me goes for ramen noodles or kraft mac and cheese.

Sore thoat sick me wants soda, smoothies and and milkshakes.

lurkergirl · April 2015

Popsicles (I like the original flavors or banana), Lipton noodle soup packets, and boiling water with plenty of honey and lemon juice.

Sorry you're feeling crappy. I had strep a few weeks ago, and the above foods really helped bring me some relief!

@hellosweetie2015 we can't eat bluebell right now anyway

Their banana pudding ice cream is one my favorite things ever.

theartistformerlyknownas · April 2015

Oohhh yes McDonald's chicken nuggets. Yes yes yes. Only when I feel too gross to realize how gross THEY are.

Yup. Recalled every single product and shut down the factories. Five people died and quite a few got very sick.

That's an every day, all the time craving. Especially when it's raining.

I'm actually outside of Chicago. I don't believe we can find Blue Bell here. I've heard about it though. But whenever I go to an ice cream place and ask for a chocolate shake with vanilla ice cream they look at me weird. It's way better with the syrup.

mikenberger · April 2015

A can of sprite, condensed Campbell's chicken soup and saltines. Typically an entire package of saltines.

arrippa · April 2015

I have to go all the way to Chinatown for Pho but it's so good.

It depends on what kind of sick I am. For the cold or flu, I usually have soup and grilled cheese. I had food poisoning a few weeks ago and that was strictly Gatorade and crackers.

lyndausvi · April 2015

Sorry you are not feeling well.

I don't have a go-to-sick food. DH likes the boxed Lipton chicken soup with no chicken with extra noodles. I guess his mom made it for him. He loves that stuff when he is sick. I have to make sure the extra noodles are in house just in case.

You can get Pho all over the place where I live. The joys of having an International College, a college and a University in a small city.

peachy13 · April 2015

I am just getting over what you have OP. Started with a nasty sore throat and got progressively worse. With the sore throat, I swear by spoonfuls of honey.. it's thick and coats your throat and it seriously helps.

Then I need some hot and sour soup from the local Chinese restaurant and some ginger ale on ice.

plainjane0415 · April 2015

What about comfort foods? Like those foods you ate growing up that you will get when you have a really bad day and you want something familiar to make you feel better?

That's horrible. I knew there were recalls going on, but the last I'd heard it was in, like, the ice cream sandwiches and stuff. I didn't know that the whole entire company was essentially shut down.

For me, it's homemade chex mix.
