+1 to Heinz tomato soup, only time it's ever cracked open (happy to have any other Heinz soup at any other time)

ringstingly hot curry !!!!

Not food but I tend to put masala in my tea (my mates mum does it and I picked up the habit) and that makes me feel better.

Cup of harden up (marketed as Lemsip Max) and Marmite sandwiches.

Eggs and lots of them. Fried on toast, omelettes, boiled, poached...anyhow really.

That's as sad as having no connection with sex and feeling good, it's just babymaking. 🙁

I like Heinz tomato soup with cheese on toast to dip in.

+1

Spicy hot veggie curry or a 5/6 hr beef hot pot done in the aga.

Add chili powder to everything, sweat it out.

Kraft Cheesy Macaroni 😳

Surely a greggs pasty would suffice, would it not?

Plate of chips, covered in chilli con carne and then melted cheddar cheese on the top

Whiskey and hot lemonade. I nuke one of the sharp cloudy ones in the microwave. Strangely enough it still remains fizzy. Add as much scotch as necessary.
Begin sweating your cold out. Fall asleep shortly afterwards.

For bad colds I always make chicken soup with loads of onions, garlic and chilli.

I always lose my sense of taste, so usually go off food completely, if I have a heavy cold.

Cheese on toast is top of the "got my taste back" recovery foods.

agree with rocketman,

only came in here for inspiration but all im seeing is bucket loads of cheese.

ive checked the fridge, there is no cheese.

Ho wmany recipes would you like Bin bins 😛

Fish finger sandwiches.
Chicken and Chorizzo risotto.
Chilli.
Toad in the hole.

I thought we might be having a rare moment of agreement on food with the tomato soup JY. No animals were harmed during the making of this meal 🙂

It was just what was needed though
