What's your favorite get well food?

I get colds starting in my throat at least two to three times a year, but that's usually the worst it ever gets.

I got the flu this year, first time since grade school. I just recently moved to South Carolina from NY...Or rather a state with medium flu activity to a state with high flu activity, so it makes sense I guess.

I just try to live life as normal as possible and curse how inconvenient being sick is. I don't really do much else differently. I may eat less but I don't really change what I eat. When I got the flu though I didn't eat anything at all because I just shit it out anyway.

I usually lose my appetite when I'm ill.

I mostly just drink water, ginger and ginseng herbal tea and when I feel like eating something I go with a bit of dry toast a nice bowl of chicken and noodle soup.

If it's something like a physical injury rather than sickness, though, I tend to go all out and just treat myself to desserts and such.

Spaghetti. Lots and lots of spaghetti. Maybe some C&C ice cream too.

Anything with enormous amounts of garlic and hot pepper in it.

This too.

For some reason I imagined you had some special Hawaiian Kona brew stashed away for emergencies

Nah. I just keep multiple bags of beans around and grind em as I use em. It's my meth.

I was about to ask if you drink it black, but then I got this sneaking suspicion you very likely add a certain sweetener. Just a guess tho.

KFC & some mashed potato & gravy

I could never eat anything heavy like that when I'm sick. It's all smoothies and juice and soups.

I drink coffee in the following ways:

-hot with half/half and "sugar"
-hot, black
-homemade lattes
-homemade cappuccinos
-straight espresso, black
-cold with half/half and "sugar"
-iced espresso drinks, some black, others with flavor syrups
-cold brew
-injected via IV this is a joke in case anyone thinks I am serious

Not gonna lie, when I'm on the mend from a real bad cold or sinus infection, I crave a big, greasy cheeseburger.

Can't remember the last time I was sick. No time for it tbh.

Otherwise soup always helps I guess.

Good thing I don't often get sick. And they deliver!

who delivers?

[Dug]

The couple times that I rarely get sick its always coupled with nausea so I eat very little and when I do its like chicken soups. Or like toast with some eggs

A hot shower always refreshes me momentarily

[Gutler]

Some good pho from a local place Hu tieu broth udon noodles shrimp crab meat and calamari.

Wasn’t the whole vitamin c thing a scam? That studies found little to no evidence of it helping to prevent or treat a cold?

Favorite get well food would be clam chowder and buttered bread.

Seafood doesn't make you want to hurl when you're sick?

[Kathandira]

I don't get sick often, the flu or a cold, WOOT!

However when I was younger I did get sick a from time to time, nothing better than being babied by mom and spending a couple days in recoup. So todays questions is...

What's your favorite get well food?




Follow up question:

And as a follow up, do you have an rituals when you are feeling down, or battling it out with a flu or bad cold what are they?

Now days, it doesn't happen often but if I do feel anything coming I typically just 1000mg with Vitamin C and it works wonders.

But as a kid, Tomato Soup, probably a hot bath and sweating it out for a nice under the covers.

Saw title, immediately thought Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese...First image confirmed. God Tier get well food.

[Lochton]

Nothing beats a good lasagne.

[Khaza-R]

When sick : Something extremely spicy. Like eyes watering, full-blown sweat spicy.

For whatever reason my mourning food is a Big Mac, basically the only time i get mcdonalds.
