Sick Food

[Wheatmaster]

What do you guys eat when you are sick that is oh so good?

I'm a congee guy but I don't have time to make that right now

Any suggestions?

 

[funkymatt]

pho or other spicy soup is awesome.

 

[joesmoke]

some real ramen if you can find it...

 

[SagaLore]

I just have lots of salty chicken soup.

Depends on what kind of sick. I like spicy soups when I have a cold, congestion, etc.

Ice cream is never bad.

Congee sounds good and I'm somewhat sick as well. I have no idea how to make it, so that is an even bigger obstacle for me than your lack of time is for you

 

[spidey07]

Homemade chicken noodle soup.

If it's digestive related, the B-R-A-T diet.

it's actually not that hard to make. just a ton of water with rice and whatever you want to throw in there for meats and veggies. now making one that is more "asian authentic" is a different story

If it's a cold/flu I eat very spicey soup or something like that. The spicier the better; always makes me feel great afterwards.

Coke, although I normally don't drink soda. Chicken or other forms of soup as usual.

 

[TallBill]

White Castle if it's anything with my digestive system. Fight fire with fire.

Man the flu is going around my house/office right now. I hate being sick during summer

 

[Chronoshock]

Cold = congee, beef stew, chicken noodle soup
Any disease where I'm vomiting = Toast, cinnamon apple sauce

 

[mchammer187]

Chicken soup with cabbage + ginger and lots of rice.

I have always found Chicken noodle to be bland but perhaps I have never had a good bowl (tried all canned varieties and several restaurants).

 

[xanis]

- pretzels
- matza ball soup
- warm ginger ale

I always employ all three of those things when I get sick and it's never failed me.

Make it yourself, it's not too bad

Most restaurants and canned varieties lack the melted connective tissue that makes soups tasty.

Sweat down some mirepoix (celery/onion/carrot), sear some chicken thighs and drumsticks, season with salt, whole peppercorn, and a couple bay leaves. Cover with water and let it simmer for half a day and you've got some tasty soup.

Ice cream is never bad when you're healthy. When you have a cough or congestion or anything else with lots of phlegm dairy products are very bad.

 

[Baked]

Rice porridge.

 

[Barfo]

chicken soup, peppermint or chamomile tea.

 

[BlueAcolyte]

Ginger ale and saltines. If it's digestive avoid acidic food.

 

[Gooberlx2]

pea soup with saltines. ginger ale or flat coke to drink

It's weird to see so many people sick during the summer....

 

[cherrytwist]

I couldn't keep anything down the past couple of days (food posioning?) except 7-up, gatorade and the occasional cracker. Which meant I couldn't take my meds (about 7-8). Eventually (24 hrs later) I was able to keep down jello and then later, noodles.
